Jet Man Lift

Sector 7 Space Laboratories - Surface Construction Division

Jet Man Lift & Utility Truck
The Man Lift has lifted 3 Kerbals with power to spare, you may also be able to attach your own Rockets to the Lift if you are matching the height of the coupling on the loading ramp to the entrance of your craft. The first idea was landing gear on I Beams which wasn't impossible but difficult. The lift may have some overkill on parts but its working and I decided to leave well enough alone.

Operations: I've been applying SAS giving full throttle and allowing at least 30 seconds for the Juno Engines to gain some thrust then after pressing space bar once I was switching back to the lift quickly to have enough time to hit the brakes before hitting the top of the shaft so it can stop without a hard jolt, this jolting will cause destruction as shown in my Going Up Short Film. The Standard Rocket I provided with the Man Lift is capable of reaching Orbit and returning the Capsule back to Kerbin's Atmosphere for a Parachute Landing.
