this device is usually called a “cherry picker” in English.

The confusion arises as “nacelle” is also an aviation term used to describe the similar type of basket found at the bottom of an airship or hot-air balloon.

Indeed – most cherry trees can be accessed via normal ladders.. but cherry pickers are mostly used here to fix street lamps and electricity poles.

As a strange coincidence I saw an EDF cherry picker today and it made me think of 665… (EDF now own the electricity network in much of Eastern England and London)

we don’t use a bulldog clip for fixing dogs to the wall either..
