the terrifying thing is most of that bamboo is probably destined for construction sites to be used as scaffolding

appears they often work up to 15 floors high on laced together bamboo sticks

the size of his balls unloading that pales alongside the buggas that climb 15 floors up on bamboo

A lot of timber (packaged) was unloaded like that in NZ.
Trucks had a roller on the back of the tray which was locked and when wanting to unload, was unlocked then started the same way as shown, then finished with a ratchet type lever turning the roller.
Never did it myself (we had tip trucks) but seen quite a lot of similar things, like drivers loading and unloading their cargo themselves.

Supposed to be safer than metal scaffolding as it doesn't need to supported on the ground so the 15 floor would be the same strength as the first.

Showing your age there Bowla, remember unloading timber like that. also when i was 18, i drove for a roofing company, learned how to throw concrete roof tiles, two at a time, from the truck up to guys on the roof.
It was hard work, but once you got the knack, it got easier. Rubber gloves would get worn out in no time, blisters everywhere.
With two storied houses, we`d have one guy picking up tiles on the truck deck, throwing up to another guy on the rack above the cab, he would throw to the guys on the edge of the roof, they would throw to guys further up the roof.( can you imagine OSH these days, )
Couldn`t see them doing it nowadays too many softies. lol. they have to have conveyors.
