Van-mounted cherry pickers, sometimes called Van Mounts or cherry picker vans, are self-drive street-side cherry pickers with ample reach and storage.
Their outriggers and large chassis provide unparalleled stability.
They are commonly used in the infrastructure sector for jobs in locations like highway maintenance, street lighting and signage.
These van-mounted cherry pickers are ideal for getting to street-side lamp posts or housing fascia, roof repairs, and lighting and sign installations.
Their in-built storage makes them an efficient method for most outdoor applications.
You hire the van, load it up with tools, materials hire equipment, and equipment and go from location to location depending on the job of the day.
A van-mounted cherry picker (or cherry picker van) is a platform which is connected to a vehicle.
Because these cherry pickers are constructed on existing vans, they work perfectly in urban and suburban locations.
The telescopic booms can vary in reach, allowing for easy movement and positioning of the work platform on streets or public places. Vans mount legs for enhanced stability during lifting.
We have a range of models available for commercial hire and long-term hire from leading truck brands like Versalift and Ascendant with different working heights.
All our van mounts available for hire are fitted with Chapter 8 rear chevrons to comply with the Department of Transport (DfT) best practice recommendations.
The use of Chapter 8 compliant vehicle livery is considered DfT best practice. It is recommended that any vehicles stopping on UK roads for works or inspection purposes should be Chapter 8 compliant. It is intended to provide a standard of good practice and is considered as the minimum requirement, which should always be achieved.
It affects any user of large or small vehicles from HGV's to road maintenance trucks, small vans and cars that intentionally stop for work or inspection purposes on high speed roads.
We are constantly adding to our range of suitable van mount access platforms, tools and hire equipment.
Because they're built on existing van platforms, van-mounted hire MEWPs are secure and simple to maintain over the course of your self-drive hire, and you can park it as you would your car.
Unlike some truck-mounted hire MEWPs, you can drive hire these vehicles on a standard driving license and take the same hire MEWP to multiple sites.
Perfect for extra peace of mind on unsecured work sites, and highly suitable for both highway maintenance contracts and street-side work.
We also offer IPAF training through our training division UTN Training for those who are hiring powered access machines.

Driven by customer demand for a viable, cleaner solution; the self-drive hybrid Versalift e-Tech platform is engineered to run on 100% electric power.
With zero emissions whilst operating your vehicle on full electric, you can be assured of a greener, quieter, cost efficient method more-effective reach with no loss of productivity.
Installed with lithium-ion batteries, the 12v e-Tech platform system delivers c.20 cycle performance from a full charge, and effectively recharges whilst the vehicle is being driven on engine power.
With a mobile website or app available, operators can check the status of the battery directly from their device, allowing them to easily keep an eye on the battery level and condition whilst working at height.
Available to supply for retrofitting, the e-Tech battery pack can either be fitted retrospectively to existing Versalift platforms or installed on new production builds.
