Working height 20m Cherry Picker in Use for McDonalds Signage When deciding if you should hire a Cherry Picker hire, these are three important reasons why it may be the best choice. Choosing a Cherry Picker over other Elevated Work Platform options can increase safety, save money, increase efficiency.

1. Increase safety on your site

When working on any elevated platform it is imperative that you adhere to safety requirements and guidelines.

Working on a lofty position comes with many risks. These risks can sometimes result in accidents and injuries. To avoid or limit such risks, companies often implement strict safety guidelines and standards for workers.

Our Tips:

  • While the boom is extended don’t move the vehicle.
  • Workers should check and wear the restraining belt and/or harness.
  • Maintain clearance between the picker and any potential overhead hazards.
  • Always treat power lines as live or energized and maintain distance.
  • Engage the wheel brake and deploy the outriggers before any boom operation.
  • Observe the vehicle’s or boom’s load limits and plan accordingly.

2. Save money

The efficiency gained from hiring a cherry picker can dramatically reduce costs as you often require our equipment for a shorter period of time. The cost of hiring a cherry picker is often dictated by several factors. Hence, you need to assess the following factors:

  • The height and size of the work area.
  • How many levels of access is needed.
  • Whether there is a need for roof cover.
  • Access issues.
  • If there is a need to bridge areas.
  • The quality and quantity of materials.
