Chinese workers use hydraulic stilts
In China, workers are increasingly using pneumatic stilts. They can easily reach the ceiling without dragging a ladder.
Chinese engineers have declared war on the main enemy of anyone who is planning a renovation — the rickety stepladder. Their hydraulic stilts look like a cross between an exoskeleton and an industrial lift, but they work with surprising simplicity. Smooth ascent to the desired height, a stable platform under your feet, and mobility that a regular ladder can only dream of. Now you can wallpaper the ceiling or hang a chandelier without risking your life or nerves.
