How to choose the right cherry picker to hire?

The right cherry picker, boom lift, depends entirely on what construction or facilities management activity you are planning. If your project requires the boom lift to access small spaces, we may recommend a self-propelled cherry picker instead. You may also require specific power options.

We’ve outlined the different types of boom lift models and potential uses to help you whittle down your options from our wide range: What are the Different Types of Cherry Pickers?

Straight Arm Cherry Picker / Boom Lift

Telescopic cherry pickers are also known as stick lifts or straight lifts.   This type of cherry picker can only move its arm in one direction – vertically. The platform can be moved directly up or down, but due to the straight, rigid arm, there is little possibility of sideways movement.

Articulated Cherry Picker / Boom Lift

Articulated cherry pickers are also known as knuckled, jointed, or Z boom lifts. This is because the extending arm that supports the platform features hinged joints that allow the platform to move in a horizontal direction, left to right, as well as upwards.

Small, narrow Cherry Picker

Compact cherry pickers are perfect for people working in smaller, confined spaces. If you’re looking for the most narrow access equipment we have available to hire, that would be either the JLG Toucan 8 Electric Mast Boom Lift or the JLG Toucan 8E-L Electric Mast Boom, both of which measure in at 0.99m.

If you’re referring to working height, that would be the the JLG Toucan 8 Electric Mast Boom Lift, with a working height of 8.15m.

Rough Terrain Cherry Picker

If you’re planning on using your powered access equipment on grassy areas, we recommend hiring a cherry picker capable of tackling rough terrain. Please speak to a member of our team, who will help ensure your cherry picker is suitable for use on grass.
