Got it. Thanks for the info.
Now I have to start saving for a lift. I want to get a lift for doing some of the architectual shooting that I've been doing. I use a friend's whenever poss. but borrowing too much leads to bad blood. I found a model that you can pull behind your truck which has it's own Honda engine and hydraulic pump. It raises to 60' so it will work nice for the shots of homes/farms/barns that I do for some clients. May be good for some BIF shots too! What I have been doing is leaving my buddie's lift on his trailer,and just parking the trailer where I need to be,and raising it from there. I don't even unload it. People like the perspective from these high up shots for some reason.

I've got a good friend that bought a well used lift truck from a local utility company. He does the same thing as you do, and he is swamped with clients looking for that view. I am actually thinking of doing a few sports related shots from the thing!
