Yes. They don’t move that much anyway, and there’s enough tension that the average person isn’t going to push the carriage sideways out from behind the ladder.

I belive this is a yan platter. Look at the bottom station, and towers. But some other parts look to be poma, like the floating bullwheel up top.

Would it be safe to climb a ladder on a floating bullwheel platter like that?
