Mobile boom lifts – commonly referred to as cherry pickers – are working at height solutions that reach out as well as up. Cherry pickers are ideal if you need to clear obstacles or access awkward areas, and most models can be driven while at height to avoid time lost raising and lowering the platform.
(Can’t see what you’re looking for? The term cherry picker is sometimes used also to refer to vertical lifts, scissor lifts and spider lifts. For more information, see our product range.)
Ideal for simple outreach work in areas where access at ground level is limited, a telescopic boom lift features a raised platform on an arm that extends both horizontally and vertically away from the base of the machine. Most telescopic booms are used outdoors and are diesel powered.
For some tasks, it may be necessary to clear obstacles on the ground by reaching up and over rather than raising the platform in one direction. An articulated boom lift is ideal for confined spaces and sites that require a high degree of manoeuvrability. Both diesel and bi-energy models are available.
For indoor work, a battery-powered boom lift provides low-noise, zero-emission access to hard-to-reach areas. Narrow base or narrow aisle models are also available, allowing ease of movement through internal doors and other confined spaces. Some smaller battery powered boom lifts are also referred to as mast booms.
For work in demanding outdoor environments, or in atriums and other challenging indoor areas, a track-mounted boom lift offers excellent working height and outreach capability from a lightweight base. Also known as spider lifts these machines work well on uneven ground. Power options include diesel engine, lithium battery cell, or hybrid to suit your environment and needs.
Whether you need your cherry picker for a few months or a lifetime, HLS can help. We offer a full range of finance options for all incorporated organisations on our boom lifts, including long-term lease, hire purchase and contract hire, as well as the option to buy outright.
