Q: Can I tow a cherry picker with my own vehicle?
A: Yes, towable cherry pickers are specifically designed for easy transport using standard vehicles. Most models can be towed with a vehicle rated to tow around 2,000kg and equipped with a standard towball and trailer plug. However, always check the weight of the specific cherry picker model and compare it with your vehicle’s towing capacity. You’ll also need to comply with local road regulations and ensure proper safety checks before towing.
Q2. How high does a cherry picker go?
A. The height of a cherry picker is dependent on which machine you hire, with that being said, machinery lift ranges from ground level (0m) to the highest being around 55m (180ft) platform height. The most popular size is 10m cherry pickers and 14m boom lifts.
Q3. What is an elevated work platform?
A. An aerial work platform (AWP), also known as an elevated work platform (EWP), is a mechanical device used to provide temporary access for people or equipment to inaccessible areas, usually at height.
Q4. Is there any safety equipment required for a cherry picker?
A. Generally speaking, fall protection is advised for any heights above 1.8m (6ft) off the ground, protections of this nature include a safety harness, fall arrestor, inertia reel and safety clips (all of which can be hired from Smart Hire).
Q5. Why is it called a cherry picker?
A. The telescopic knuckle boom or “cherry picker”, gained its name owing to the fact that it was designed for use in orchards (though not just cherry orchards). The term “cherry picker” has become generic, and is commonly used to describe articulated lifts & other EWPs.
