01925 358 387Need safe, reliable access at greater height? Our 15m cherry picker hire gives you the reach you need for a wide range of site work, with flexible hire options, nationwide delivery, and clear pricing. With 2 Rent, you get straightforward access hire that keeps your project moving.
A 15m cherry picker gives you safe, reliable access where standard lifts can’t reach. With up-and-over capability, it lets you work around buildings, structures, cables, and other obstacles without compromising safety.
That makes it a practical choice for utilities work, telecoms maintenance, inspections, and industrial projects where straight vertical access isn’t enough.
At 2 Rent, our 15m cherry picker fleet includes articulated and telescopic boom lifts, giving you the flexibility to handle complex sites and tight working areas. Every machine is fully maintained and LOLER 1998 compliant, so you know the equipment on site is safe, stable, and ready to perform.
A 15m cherry picker is built for jobs that need safe access at greater height across a wider range of site conditions. These machines are commonly used for projects where extra reach and strong ground performance matter, such as:
Unlike smaller access platforms, 15m cherry pickers are made for more demanding tasks and tougher working environments. If you need a machine that can handle height, reach, and changing site conditions, a 15m cherry picker is a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor access work.
Get in touch and tell us about your project details, site access, and if you need an operator.
We’ll help find the right cherry picker based on height, reach, power type, and hire duration.
Tell us where and when you need your cherry picker, and we’ll deliver it straight to your site.
Need help during the hire? Support is available throughout, from drop-off to collection.

The key features of our 15m cherry picker hire fleet help them work reliably, safely, and easily. These include:
A 15m boom lift is often the sweet spot for many infrastructure coordinators and procurement managers. It provides the working height needed for elevated tasks while still offering flexibility and manoeuvrability on site. Here are some of the most common uses.

Installing and maintaining equipment on street poles and telecom masts between 12 and 15 metres requires stable, precise access. 15m cherry picker hire allows engineers to work safely while positioning hardware accurately.

When working around overhead power lines, transformers, and live infrastructure, access equipment must be dependable and compliant. A 15m MEWP provides safe access for inspection, repair, and replacement work.

Whether you’re installing high-spec cladding systems or commercial glazing, an articulated 15m boom lift allows you to reach difficult areas without disrupting the building structure.
Large industrial facilities often require elevated access for HVAC installation, structural steelwork, lighting systems, and maintenance work. A 15m access platform gives your team the reach needed while maintaining stability on site.
When you’re working at height, equipment safety is a must. At 2 Rent, every 15m cherry picker hire leaves our depot fully inspected, compliant, and ready for work. We operate under a strict ‘Safety First’ approach so you can focus on the job, not the equipment.
Each 15m cherry picker hire we send out is inspected before delivery and supplied with a valid Report of Thorough Examination in line with
LOLER 1998 (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations).
Our maintenance processes also support your obligations under
PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations), helping you stay compliant on site. You can learn more about safe work at height directly from the HSE working at height guidance.
Operating a self-propelled 15m boom lift requires the correct training.
For most machines in this category, you will need:
If your project needs experienced operators, 2 Rent can supply fully qualified, CPCS-carded operators to work on your site. This keeps your project compliant with the HSE Work at Height Regulations 2005.

An articulated boom lift (also called a knuckle boom) has multiple sections that bend. This allows you to reach up and over obstacles, which is useful in tight or complex work areas. A telescopic boom lift extends in a straight line. These machines often provide greater horizontal outreach, but they are less flexible in confined spaces.
Yes. Most self-propelled 15m cherry pickers can be driven slowly while the platform is elevated. This allows operators to move along a working area without lowering the platform. However, this should only be done on firm, level ground, following the manufacturer’s operating guidelines.
Under HSE (Health and Safety Executive) and CPA (Construction Plant-hire Association) guidelines, operators must use a full-body safety harness with an adjustable restraint lanyard when working in boom-type access platforms. We can supply the required safety harness and restraint kit with your 15m boom lift hire if needed.
