That’s a terrible idea. You locked it in and the center of gravity is going to make top heavy as fuck. That will easily flip over.

Take note of the proper tie down procedure.

Milk crates in the form of a pyramid! Roll video. Profit.

I have a similar issue. Ugly old ceiling fan about 18 feet up. We want to replace it with something more modern or with a chandelier-ish light.

I could get a ladder, but it would be safer to just set up some scaffolding. A ladder is fine for changing bulbs, but not wrangling a big, heavy fixture...

My last house had the exact same situation in the master. There was a smoke detector up there too and that bitch would of course only die at 2am. 28ft extension ladder, had to bring it in through a window and pucker up. No vaulted ceilings in the new place!

Genie AWP 30 is light enough for most residential floors.  You have to push the butch around but it's better than having a scissor go through the floor.

This. It's cheap by the day, should only take an hour or two to set up and change.

Probably 14’ to the fan itself, it looks like?  If it’s a bad bearing, you don’t have to change all of it out.  I’d unwire and take the old one down, then use the same box and extension to attach the new fan to.  I’ve got a twelve foot step ladder, though.  A ten foot would make it a pretty easy job.

Pull the switch out of the wall and unwire it, and then screw the switch back in, because a fan that that small that high up ain't doing anything but eating electricity anyway.

This. Be smart. In an older house I had ceilings like that. I bought a ladder
that folded in the middle and both ends extended. It went high enough
to do work. Pricey and heavy, but it was worth it.
