don't know of availability in your area ...note, tracked and towables
joel,
That is a cool gadget.
Yes that is a premium lift. Very expensive, I've never seen them for rent, only one tree company around here has one. The one this guy has will fit thru a 30" gate! I've been thinking someday when I can't climb ladders anymore, I may invest in one so I can keep working.
Most of the rental companies have tow behinds for like you said a couple hundred a day, in 35 and 50 footers. i pulled mine around with a 3pt receiver hitch on my tractor, much more maneuverable than with a truck.
I respect your cautious approach, but I think you are being over protective. there's no way the roof can be that delicate as to worry about the pressure points a sheet of plywood would excert. If it were that susceptible, it would not be suitable for protection against the elements. But to try and help further I would say maybe that 1 inch thick Styrofoam board glued to the plywood, it comes in large sheets and should eliminate that pressure point fear.
Matter of fact, it sounds like it's the concentrated pressure you are concerned with, you may just use the foam board, no plywood??
Some pics of tow behind boom lifts, the green one is 35 foot and the orange is 50 foot. Very capable little machines.
