Cherry pickers and scissor lifts provide a safe and efficient way to access elevated work areas, allowing workers to perform tasks at height while minimising the risk of injury. They can be used in a variety of industries, including construction, maintenance, film and television production and much more. They can be supplied for both indoor and outdoor works.
A cherry picker, also known as a boom lift, consists of a hydraulic arm, or boom, with a platform at the end that can be raised and lowered to different heights. The platform is typically large enough to accommodate one or two workers and their tools. Cherry pickers are commonly used for tasks such as signage installations, exterior building maintenance, and filming.
A scissor lift, on the other hand, consists of a platform that is raised and lowered by a system of crisscrossing supports, or scissor mechanisms. Scissor lifts are typically smaller than cherry pickers and are used for tasks such as indoor maintenance and construction work, including electrical and plumbing installations.
