Has anybody dealt with different methods of getting work platforms into a large conical vessel? (Approx 150-200' tall) The last conventional scaffolding install took too long for our time slot. The top of the vessel can be removed and there is a 42" manway at the bottom of the cone.

Pointy end is the bottom, Diameter is 24.5 Meters at the top down to about 2 meters at the bottom.

I'm looking for something fast any safe. Any ideas you have experience with would be appreciated.

We've been considering some kind of unfolding scaffolding that can be lowered from the top of some kind of crawler that could be hung from the roof.

Thanks
