Access platforms hire
Scissor lifts, cherry pickers, telescopic booms, spider lifts and truck-mounted platforms for working at height safely.
Which access platform?
Scissor lift: straight up
For work where the machine can stand directly below the point you need to reach. Compare power, floor, access and platform load.
Cherry picker: up and over
The articulated boom reaches up and over obstacles. State the working height and the horizontal outreach needed.
Telescopic boom: long straight reach
Consider this when you need long outreach and have room to position the machine. The hire company confirms the model for the reach, ground and access you describe.

How do I make a request?

What is the difference between working height and platform height?
Platform height is the height of the basket floor. Working height is the manufacturer’s figure for a person working from the platform, usually about 2 m more. UK hire companies often quote platform height in feet (for example a 26 ft scissor lift). Send the real height of the point you need to reach and confirm both figures, plus outreach and basket load, for the model offered.
