I've got several 2:1 cable jobs coming up, and the hitch plates are over 20' above the car at the top floor. Positioning an extension ladder will be very sketchy and it won't actually stand properly in the places I will need it to be to do the work.

I wonder if anyone has good ideas for any kind of platform built on the car for safer/more efficient access to the work. I also considered aluminum walkboards mounted across the hoistway on L brackets about 6' below the hitch points. Just curious if anyone has some tried and true solutions for this?
