Frequently asked questions
How much does rough terrain scissor lift hire cost?
As a guide, a diesel 4x4 rough terrain scissor lift with around 12 m working height is often about £150 a day or £400 to £450 a week before VAT. Delivery on a plant lorry is usually extra. Check the platform capacity and ground conditions when you ask for a quote.
Can I hire a rough terrain scissor lift with an operator?
Yes, you can ask for operated hire. Choose that option and describe the job and the hours you expect; the hire company confirms availability and quotes for the operator. Compare the total including fuel, travel and any overtime.
How does delivery of a rough terrain scissor lift work?
You can ask for delivery and collection or arrange to collect it yourself, depending on the equipment and the company. Give the postcode, the access, the delivery times and how it can be unloaded. Check the price of both journeys and who loads and unloads before you accept the quote.
Do I need a licence or training to operate it?
On UK sites operators are normally expected to be trained and to hold a recognised card for the machine, such as CPCS or NPORS, or IPAF for access platforms, and the hire company may ask for proof. If you do not have one, hire it with an operator.
