    With all that technology and engineering it's always surprised me that the crane operator has to climb hundreds of feet up vertical ladders to get to the cab. Surely it must be possible to fit some sort of lift mechanism? It only has to carry one person after all.

      Even though it isn't as high, the tower crane outside my window has a lift for the operator. When it didn't have a lift, I always saw the operator taking breaks at every third
