What is a truck mount?
Truck-mounted cherry pickers are essential equipment in various industries for providing access to elevated work areas. These machines consist of a hydraulic lifting mechanism mounted on a truck, which allows for mobility and ease of transport. This makes truck mounted cherry pickers ideal for tasks that require frequent relocation.
These truck mounted booms are designed in a way where the truck’s skeleton provides a stable base making it even more safe for working at heights. The core component of the truck is the boom which can extend and articulate making it easier to reach the elevated places. Furthermore, the boom is provisioned with a bucket or platform at the end for the workers to perform tasks.
The hydraulic system allows the boom to extend vertically and horizontally, enabling it to reach over obstacles and navigate around structures. The truck chassis provides a stable base, and many models come with outriggers or stabilisers to ensure safety and stability during operation.
The key benefit of hiring these vehicles mounted cherry pickers is mobility. Unlike stationary lifts, these machines can be driven directly to the work site, reducing the need for additional transportation charges. This is particularly beneficial for jobs that require access to multiple locations within a short period.

From tree care to maintenance and repair of power lines, streetlights, setting up hoarding and much more. Truck mounted platforms can reach different locations quickly and easily.
