FAQs

What is Access Equipment?

Access equipment or access platforms are machines specifically designed to elevate you safely and with ease when you are working at height. Whether you require equipment for low-level access, or equipment to reach extreme heights, our access platforms come in a large range of sizes and models, designed to meet your individual requirements.

Are cherry pickers another name for access equipment?

People often use the phrase ‘cherry pickers’ to describe all types of access platforms used to provide a temporary lift up to difficult to reach or inaccessibly high working areas. The term actually originates from the use of similar machines in orchards to literally pick cherries off trees!

What information do I need to know before I can hire an access platform?

Before hiring powered access equipment you should know:

Your working height requirements – the heights included in our specification tables relate to the measurement from ground level to maximum platform height plus 2 metres
Your outreach requirements – this is the measurement from the centre of the turret on a fully extended boom plus 5cm
Your working load requirements – calculate the weight of the operative plus tools and compare to the machine’s safe working load
The ground conditions – the ground conditions (gradient, quality of ground etc) can have a huge impact on the performance of access equipment machines. We highly recommend this is discussed in depth when you are placing a hire
