MEWP Hire Equipment

Each type of mobile elevated work platform (MEWP) has its own benefits and is suited to a different kind of project. Our MEWP hire equipment falls into 3 main categories of machine:

  • Cherry pickers/boom lifts
  • Scissor lifts
  • Low level access platforms

Cherry pickers, also known as boom lifts, move both vertically and horizontally, offering access to hard to reach spots. Cherry pickers also tend to offer the greatest working heights – we can offer machines with working heights of up to 28 metres.

Scissor lifts are popular for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor tasks. They can offer large platform areas, allowing ample space for tools and equipment at height. Scissor lifts offer access to mid-level heights – our fleet ranges from 5.6 metre working heights to 22.5 metre working heights.

Low level access platforms are generally used for indoor applications, providing a safer and more convenient alternative to a ladder or aluminium tower. As the name suggests, low level access platforms offer access to low to mid-level heights. Our hire platforms range from working heights of 3.5 to 8 metres.
