daaang. 48’ is beast. i’m 5’-8" 155 lbs and i can handle a 40 for awhile, but i usually need a spotter just to feel safe. i used a 60’ ONE time to reach a dormer on a roof and it took THREE of us to handle that beast. we borrowed it from the gutter guys that were hanging 6" copper on a new build. never again.
In all fairness, most of my work on 48’s were commercial.
The moves are a lot closer together. 
What’s the weight on a 48’?
