What Are Small Cherry Pickers?
Small cherry pickers (also known as mini cherry pickers or narrow MEWPs) are compact powered access platforms designed to reach working heights of 10ft to 25ft, while offering superior manoeuvrability in tight indoor and outdoor environments.
Why They Are Ideal for Restricted Areas
- Narrow machine width for doorways, corridors and aisles
- Lightweight design suitable for delicate flooring
- Electric, quiet and zero-emission options available
- Excellent for low-level access where ladders are unsafe
- Non-marking tyres for indoor spaces
Popular models include the:
- S52E - 18m Electric Scissor Lift
- BMJ26E - 10m Electric Mast Lift
