Nah a cherry picker would be needed for that one as to hiding it isn't someone working on an INVISABILITY CLOAK that would work.

You would need one of those Electricity company power pole trucks just to install the upper cage. Plus, above a certain height don't you need a riggers licence? That monster should have OH&S certification (LOL)
