(54)	Laterally telescoping bucket platform

(57) A mobile horizontally and vertically adjustable worker carrier comprises a truck (10) having a chassis (11). An extensible platform (12) has three sections (14,16,17) carried by the chassis and adapted to telescope in and out from the truck (10) laterally to the line of travel thereof. Extensible stabilizers (32) are provided on either side of the extensible platform on one (14) of the sections and travelling therewith the extensible stabilizers include vertical legs adapted to be dropped down to contact the ground and support the extensible platform when extended. An articulated crane (20,21,22) is rotatably supported by the extensible platform at the outboard end thereof and adopted to reach well above the level of the extensible platform. The articulated crane has rotation means to rotate it on an axis perpendicular to the platform. A work station (23) is carried by the articulated crane at the outer end thereof.
