Drew; Cherry Pickers (from Terayon) have only been around for about 6 years or so. They are less likely to be used in broadcast operations than cable -- I'd say that the Logic Innovations TSS/TMS-2800 is a broadcast-centric equivalent to a simple cherry picker, although the people i know at LI would probably have a problem with that view.
