25m cherry picker hire: Reach over & around obstacles safely

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.

Why hire a 25m cherry picker?

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:

  • Roofing & cladding
  • Steelwork & structural installation
  • External building maintenance
  • Signage & lighting installation
  • Glazing & facade work
  • Tree work

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.

What are the typical specs & working envelope of our 25m cherry pickers?

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.

What are the key features of our 25m cherry picker hire fleet?

The key features of our 25m cherry picker hire fleet help them work reliably, safely, and easily. These include:

  • Exceptional horizontal outreach: With up to 20 metres of outreach, operators can reach across trenches, barriers, busy roads, or structural extensions without moving the base machine.
  • Rough terrain performance: Many models feature four-wheel drive, oscillating axles, and high-traction tyres, allowing safe operation on construction sites and uneven terrain.
  • Full 360-degree rotation: Continuous turret rotation allows the platform to move around the work area without constantly repositioning the machine, improving productivity on site.
  • Advanced safety systems: Our machines include secondary guarding systems and load-sensing technology that help prevent platform overload or operator entrapment.

Where does a 25m cherry picker work best?

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.

Telecoms and 5G rollouts

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

Utility and power grid maintenance

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

Civil engineering projects

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.

Industrial and commercial facilities

Large buildings often require elevated access for HVAC installations, cladding maintenance, gutter repairs, and lighting upgrades.

25m cherry picker hire safety and compliance

We operate under a strict ‘Safety First’ approach so you can focus on the job, not the equipment.

LOLER and PUWER compliance

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.

Operator requirements compliance

Operating a self-propelled 25m boom lift requires the correct training.
For most machines in this category, you will need:

  • IPAF Category 3b licence for mobile boom lifts
  • IPAF Category 1b for static or truck-mounted access platforms

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.

Ground stability support

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.

25m cherry picker hire FAQs

What is the difference between a 25m articulated and telescopic boom?

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.

What are the ground requirements for a 25m cherry picker?

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.

Can I hire a 25m cherry picker for same-day delivery?

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.
