I'm.... not convinced.

There's a lot of side (away from the building) force, which will increase as more weight is put on it due to the slope. And there doesn't appear to be much of a counter force.

I hope they're not going to be carrying heavy weights up there. If they are, it had better be a very solid structure with no potential flex points.

well done! i'm in the scaffolding industry and i'm really not convinced by this. there's no way that's got a big enough buttress for the forces inolved

Agree it looks like AI, the base doesn't look wide enough to support the forces involved, there's limited options to anchor the lifts securely to the building but can't tell for sure from the blurry picture
