Do you recognise this machine?
A reader spotted this self-propelled aerial lift designed for underbridge inspection work and asked if we could identify it.
While it looked frustratingly familiar to us, we could not put our finger on what it was. Can you?

OK it looks like the game is up... we have so far received two correct answers - the first came in within minutes of the story going up at 10:00 am Sydney, Australia, time - with an email from a Peter Luczka who correctly identified the machine as a Jinwoo Bridge 400. Eric L also highlights the machine with his detailed specification and further information on its origin.
Other guesses not shown below included special machines from TKD, Denka and Herkules.

Just a few minutes after posting this report we had our first answer, confirming exactly what it is.
For the sake of a little fun we will not announce the details of this machine until later today.
