Famous Music and Movie Moments Made Possible by Scissor Lifts and Cherry Pickers
When we immerse ourselves in the magic of live music or cinema, it’s easy to forget the behind-the-scenes work that brings our most memorable moments to life. One crucial contributor in the world of these creative industries is the humble cherry picker or scissor lift, playing an unassuming yet pivotal role in crafting some of the most iconic music and movie moments in history.
