01925 358 387Need safe access for large-scale, high-level work? Our 25m cherry picker hire is suited to demanding jobs across the UK, from cladding and bridge inspections to utility maintenance and telecoms infrastructure. With flexible hire options, nationwide delivery, and clear pricing, 2 Rent helps keep your project moving.
When the job involves height, obstacles, and hard-to-reach areas, a 25m cherry picker gives you the access needed to keep work moving. Built for more demanding site conditions, these machines offer the up-and-over reach needed to work safely around structures, services, and other access restrictions.
They are a great choice for utilities, telecoms, inspections, cladding, bridge maintenance, and industrial projects where lower-reach platforms are not practical.
At 2 Rent, we supply articulated and telescopic 25m boom lifts with flexible hire options, nationwide delivery, and clear pricing. Every machine is fully maintained and LOLER 1998 compliant, so you can book with confidence and get the right access equipment on site.
A 25m 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, 25m 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 25m 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.

A 25m boom lift sits in the sweet spot between standard site equipment and large truck-mounted platforms. These machines offer excellent horizontal outreach, allowing you to work across obstacles even when the base of the machine has to stay positioned further away.
This is often essential on infrastructure sites, construction projects, and restricted-access areas.
| Specification | 25m Articulated Boom (Knuckle) | 25m Telescopic Boom (Stick) |
|---|---|---|
| Max working height | 24.5m – 25.6m | 24.8m – 25.2m |
| Max horizontal outreach | 15.5m – 17.5m | 18.2m – 20.0m |
| Safe working load (SWL) | 230kg – 250kg | 230kg – 450kg (High Capacity) |
| Machine weight | Approx. 15,500kg | Approx. 16,500kg |
| Power source | Diesel (Stage V) / Hybrid | Diesel (Stage V) |
The key features of our 25m cherry picker hire fleet help them work reliably, safely, and easily. These include:
A 25m cherry picker works best on projects where height, outreach, and flexibility all matter. From infrastructure and utilities to industrial maintenance and external building work, it gives teams the access needed to work safely at height and around obstacles that smaller machines cannot handle.

Installing equipment on medium-height monopoles, rooftop telecom sites, and communication towers requires stable working platforms and accurate positioning.

An 25m MEWP provides safe access for overhead line work, tree and branch clearance, and transformer maintenance.

For bridge inspections and structural repairs, an articulated boom allows engineers to work above the structure while the base stays positioned safely on a road or walkway.

Large buildings often require elevated access for HVAC installations, cladding maintenance, gutter repairs, and lighting upgrades.
We operate under a strict ‘Safety First’ approach so you can focus on the job, not the equipment.
Each 25m 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 25m 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. Before any machine leaves our depot, it undergoes a detailed pre-delivery inspection (PDI). These checks cover mechanical systems, safety devices, and operational performance to reduce the risk of downtime or site disruption.
At 25m, ground conditions are critical. We recommend carrying out a full ground stability assessment, particularly on sites with trenches, excavations, or soft ground.
Our team can advise on the use of outrigger pads or spreader plates to safely distribute ground loads and reduce the risk of overturning.
When you’re hiring equipment for high-reach projects, reliability matters just as much as reach. At 2 Rent, we focus on helping contractors solve real site challenges.
Equipment issues on high-risk sites can quickly become expensive. That’s why we back our fleet with 24/7 technical support and a nationwide network of mobile service engineers. If something needs attention, we act quickly to keep your project moving.
Our range of van-mounted equipment is specifically designed to optimise your vehicles’ efficiency and functionality across a wide range of tasks. Whether you require effortless height access, precise work execution, or seamless goods transportation, our equipment is customised to fulfill your unique needs.
2 Rent is your trusted MEWP rental partner, offering efficient and safe elevated access solutions. Whether for construction, maintenance, or any aerial work, we’ve got you covered. Explore our options today.
An articulated boom lift (knuckle boom) has multiple joints that allow the platform to move up and over obstacles, making it ideal for complex structures. A telescopic boom lift extends in a straight line. These machines usually provide greater horizontal outreach and faster elevation, making them better suited to open work areas.
Because of the machine’s weight and centre of gravity, a 25m cherry picker must operate on firm, level ground. On construction or utility sites with softer ground, rough-terrain models with 4WD are typically used. In many cases, outrigger pads or spreader plates are required to safely distribute ground pressure.
Due to the specialist transport requirements (low-loader delivery) for 25m cherry pickers, we typically require 24-48 hours’ notice. However, for emergency utility repairs, our rapid-response team will always strive to meet your immediate site needs.
