Telescoping sides shoot up in seconds, wheels at the top roll against the side of the building then you ride a motorized rung up, tilting it forward to rise, backwards to lower.
Man-Lifts

Just one example [neutrinos_shadow, Aug 22 2024]
Not that, this.

This would be the single rung that goes up and down the ladder. [doctorremulac3, Aug 22 2024]

"Man Lifts" exist, although not the ultra-minimalist design you're proposing. |
|
| |
Didn’t describe it right I guess. This is just a ladder with a version of the linked hoverboard as the moving rung. |
|
| |
It would work, you'd need to start almost horizontally to reach any height, the feet had better be secure and hinged, and any obstructive overhangs make this useless... |
|
| |
...but other than that (+) |
|
| |
This would have to have wheels at the top to roll up the side of the building because at some point it's too top heavy to control. |
|
| |
Wonder how high this could get? |
|

Hey! If you had this truck mounted you could probably have a version that went up 20 stories or more and have a moving step that had enough power to hold two people for doing the rescue thing. Have a basket they step into or something. |
|
| |
Hmm. I kind of like this even more with that addition. |
|
| |
Hmm, wouldn't need compressed air but you'd be adding weight to the thing. |
|
| |
Or are you saying railgun for the moving step? I was going to have electrical rails on either side that would power the thing. Plus I'd have an extension you could put people you're saving in, like a fold out basket. That would definitely need that power source from below. |

Has anybody ever thought of this? a1, you're good at searching for these things. This been proposed? I haven't found anything, but it kind of seems like somebody should have thought of this. |
