it's the thing power pole repairmen used to use to climb up power poles. Government makes them use lifting platform trucks now.

Holy shit, I learned something from Lemmy Shitpost!
Honestly though, one of these has been draped over a fence in my neighborhood for like a week, and I've been wondering what it was.

They still use a straight up climbing strap? We still mostly climb manually still but have a full on harness with 2 layers of fall arrest strapping and the ladder is strapped to the pole so you can't fall off that either.

Away safer to use a platform.
