Why Choose a Truck-Mounted Cherry Picker?
1. Exceptional Mobility
Truck mounts can be driven directly to the site, reducing:
- Transport costs
- Set-up time
- Project downtime
This makes them ideal for jobs requiring rapid relocation between locations.
2. Versatility for Multiple Applications
Thanks to their height, outreach and mobility, truck-mounted cherry pickers are widely used for:
- Tree care and arboriculture
- Utility maintenance (power lines, telecoms, street lighting)
- Construction and infrastructure
- Signage, hoarding and advertising installation
- TV, film and media production
- Cleaning and facade maintenance
Truck mounts are suitable for both urban environments and remote working locations.
3. Safety and Stability
Our truck-mounted boom lifts include:
- Guardrails and secure platform entry points
- Harness attachment points
- Emergency descent systems
- Outriggers for enhanced stability
- Advanced control systems for precise operation
Every unit in our fleet is inspected, serviced and fully compliant with UK safety standards.
4. Better Reach and Flexibility
With the ability to extend upwards, outwards and over obstacles, truck mounts are perfect for:
- Reaching rooftops
- Working over parked vehicles
- Accessing confined or awkward spaces
5. Cost-Effective Access Solution
You avoid additional delivery charges since the machine travels under its own power. This reduces overall hire costs compared to static platforms.
Types of Truck - Mounted Cherry Pickers
- Telescopic - provides straight vertical and horizontal reach
- Articulating - offer superior up-and-over access
Both configurations deliver flexibility and high productivity for complex site conditions.
