GAZ-52 aerial platform – an attempt to return the Soviet truck to service

As it turns out, the authors of the Polygon-98 channel are not only engaged in creating off-road "monsters" of their own design. Sometimes they spend their talents on a good cause - they repair old equipment from the Soviet period, returning it to the roads. The guys do not say whether they do this for free, for money or take spare parts. Or maybe they even pay extra themselves? In any case, the customers are happy. For example, in this video, the guys are invited to repair a GAZ-52. And this is not an ordinary one truck, and a boom lift. Not a simple one, but one of a strange design by modern standards.

There is an opinion that such have long been banned, although it is unlikely. In any case, the equipment will still be useful to builders. After all, there is a full-fledged "cradle" with a fence around the perimeter - much more reliable than flimsy scaffolding. And if you also use insurance ... In general, they decided to return the GAZ-52 to the line - so that it works and brings in money. But the equipment has been standing in the hangar for a long time without moving. And only experienced craftsmen accustomed to solving complex problems will be able to start it. Will the bloggers be able to give the truck a second life - you will see by watching the video. In any case, the GAZ-52 is already missing parts - someone managed to dismantle the car.
Would you risk using such a boom lift?
