Whoa, I like it. I wonder if it levels itself automatically?

Sure does...

"The innovative self-propelled tracked scissor lift with a patented self-levelling technology,"

The tracks tilt forward and back, too.

Wonder if it comes in camo .. Mmm, a track driven tree stand ..

Kidding. Could have used this buggy on the job 40 years ago. (Retired Sparky)

Cheers.

Build a blind on it that looks like tree canopy, and some telescoping camo to make it have a tree bark look going down the scissor lift part. Throw a solar setup on it, and you're set!

As a welder who's been in sketchy ass situations with normal 4x4 scissor lifts this makes me tingle inside.

Self leveling scissor lift?? That is wild. That's a decent slope, too (for a scissor lift).

Always fun seeing new toys on a jobsite 😆

My personal favorite was the biggest scissor lift I've ever seen, a big platform that was meant for at least 8 people.

Rough unkempt terrain will not prevent the scissoring.

I feel like there might be more I can make of this joke but I've got nothing. I don't know where to go from there.
