Has anyone had to affix letters/numbers to the tops of vehicles (so they can be seen from the air) before?
Am thinking of artic units, trailers and buses. If so, how did you do it? I.e. how did you ensure those on the roof didn't fall from a height?
Regards,
Karen

Put up temporary scaffolding so that truck can back in, provide safe access and attachement points. Do risk assessment and write a safe system of work. train operatives, management and supervision. Audit compliance. Congratulate/reinforce those who get it right.
Easy, innit ?

Some very exact vehicle manouvering going on there if we are reversing an artic into a scoffolding area.
Once in the scaffolded area the artic cannot leave gaps between it and the scaffolding or else someone will fall through.
Also imagine the space you would need!
Perhaps a temporary man line / harness arrangement where a trained operative connects him/herself to the man safe system, climbs on to the artic trailor (with a colleague ensuring tension is maintained should the operative slip) via a ladder and proceeds to paint the number.
Very short duration actually working at height
Less of a space problem and
No req't for such an exact reversing manouvre.
Just an idea.

How about placing mobile scaffold platform towers either side of the stationary vehicle, with guard rails connecting the towers across the roof.

Mobile scaffolding perhaps, or cherry picker ?
OR hang someone up-side-down by their feet from a bridge as the lorry goes under,
OR place lorry below a bungie jump.... with jumpers getting a prize for who can attach the most letters !
Sorry, but it's Friday and I'm off on Holiday !!!

Karen,
The usual method for signwriting these days is vinyl stickers. Look in the yellow pages and you will find loads of folk that do this. Work of this nature will no doubt be bread and butter work to them. Saves you all the grief.
