FAQ's
Does a cherry picker hire include an operator?
Yes. All of our cherry picker and access platform hires includes a qualified and experienced operator.
We provide operated MEWP hire so you do not need to worry about transporting, setting up or operating the machinery yourself. This helps ensure the work is completed safely and efficiently.
What is a MEWP?
MEWP stands for Mobile Elevated Work Platform.
A MEWP is a safe access platform designed to lift workers and equipment to height for maintenance, inspection and repair work. Cherry pickers and access platforms are commonly used by roofers, window cleaners, gutter specialists and maintenance contractors.
What height can your cherry pickers reach?
We currently offer:
- 20m cherry picker hire
- 18m tracked cherry picker hire
This allows safe access for a wide range of residential and commercial projects including roofs, chimneys, gutters, trees and upper-storey maintenance.
What is the difference between the 18m tracked cherry picker and the 20m cherry picker?
Our 18m tracked cherry picker is designed for restricted access areas, gardens, soft ground and uneven terrain.
The tracked design helps spread the machine weight more evenly, making it ideal for sensitive ground conditions.
Our 20m cherry picker offers greater working height and outreach, making it suitable for larger buildings and commercial projects.
Is a cherry picker hire suitable for residential properties?
Yes. Our operated access platform hire is regularly used for domestic projects including:
- Roof repairs
- Chimney maintenance
- Gutter cleaning
- Exterior painting
- Window cleaning
- Tree work
We can often access areas that would otherwise require expensive scaffolding.
Can a cherry picker replace scaffolding?
For many short-term jobs, yes.
Cherry picker hire can often be a quicker and more cost-effective alternative to scaffolding, especially for inspections, repairs and maintenance work.
However, some larger or long-duration projects may still require scaffolding depending on the nature of the work.
Is tracked cherry picker hire better for soft ground?
Yes. Tracked access platforms are ideal for:
- Lawns and gardens
- Uneven surfaces
- Narrow access routes
- Soft ground conditions
- Areas with limited vehicle access
The tracked system helps reduce ground pressure and improves stability.
