Boom Lift Hire
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an articulating and a telescopic boom lift?
An articulating boom has a jointed arm that bends, so it can reach up-and-over obstacles and tuck into awkward spots, ideal where you need to work around plant, roofs or structures. A telescopic boom extends in a straight line for maximum height and horizontal outreach. Tell us the obstacles on site and we’ll point you to the right one.
What working heights can you hire a boom lift to?
Our range runs from a 10.9m Genie up to 43.3m, taking in popular sizes such as Genie 15.9m and 20.2m, Nifty 17m and 28m, Hinowa 17m and JLG 22m and 40.3m. Taller telescopic booms can typically be sourced subject to availability. Share how high and how far you need to reach and we’ll spec it.
Should I hire an electric or diesel boom lift?
Electric booms run quiet and emission-free, so they suit indoor work and busy or enclosed sites. Diesel booms give the power and ground clearance for outdoor construction, steelwork and uneven terrain. If you’re working both, a bi-energy machine covers it.
Do you hire spider or tracked boom lifts for narrow access?
We can typically source tracked spider booms subject to availability. They are lightweight and compact enough to pass through standard doorways and gateways, then outrigger up for work in courtyards, atriums and restricted-access sites. Tell us your access width and ground type and we’ll recommend a machine that fits.
How much weight can a cherry picker basket carry?
Platform capacities typically run from around 200kg to 450kg, which covers one or two people plus tools and materials. Each machine is clearly marked with its safe working load, and we’ll confirm the basket capacity before you hire.
Do I need IPAF training to use a boom lift?
Working at height is regulated, and boom lifts need IPAF category 3b (mobile boom). You’ll need to make sure whoever uses the machine holds a current IPAF 3b certificate.
What is a cherry picker used for?
Cherry pickers give safe access for jobs like cladding and facade work, signage, tree surgery, building maintenance, steelwork and high-level installation. Where you need to reach out and over rather than straight up, a boom is typically the better tool than a scissor lift or scaffold.
How quickly can you deliver a boom lift?
It depends on your location and current availability. We coordinate delivery and collection through our supplier network, and can often help with urgent or time-critical jobs, subject to availability. Send us your site postcode and we’ll confirm a realistic delivery time.
