From infrastructure and utilities to steelwork, cladding, inspections, and telecoms, 2 Rent supplies site-ready access equipment with flexible hire, nationwide delivery, and clear pricing.
When your project pushes past standard working heights, you need equipment that delivers serious reach, stability, and control.
Our 30m cherry picker hire service is built for large infrastructure and industrial projects across the UK. From 5G mast installations and power infrastructure maintenance to structural work on large industrial facilities, these machines provide the reach needed to tackle complex access challenges safely.
At 2 Rent, we supply articulated and telescopic 30m 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 30m 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:
Compared with lower-reach access platforms, 30m cherry pickers are better suited to large outdoor projects, harder-to-reach work areas, and jobs that involve working over or around buildings, structures, and site obstacles.
If you need a machine that can handle height, outreach, and tougher site conditions, a 30m cherry picker is a strong fit for major 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.

At the 30m mark, machines such as the Genie SX-105 XC or Dingli BT30SHRT provide a unique combination of extreme height and dual-capacity platform loading. These “Super Booms” are engineered to operate in the high-wind, high-risk environments typical of UK construction sites and utility networks.

The key features of our 30m cherry picker hire fleet help them work reliably, safely, and easily. These include:
A 30m 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.

A 30m MEWP is commonly used for overhead power line maintenance, substation inspections, and wind turbine component access.

These machines provide safe access for bridge inspections, viaduct maintenance, and work on large industrial silos.

Refineries and large manufacturing plants often require up-and-over access to clear pipe racks, machinery, and complex structural layouts.
We operate under a strict ‘Safety First’ approach so you can focus on the job, not the equipment.
Each 30m 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 30m 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 or NPORS-qualified operators to work on your site. This keeps your project compliant with the HSE Work at Height Regulations 2005. These operators are trained to work safely with large high-reach access platforms and understand the risks involved when operating “Big Kit” machinery.
We maintain a strict six-monthly inspection schedule, supported by detailed Pre-Delivery Inspections (PDI) before every hire. This ensures your equipment meets PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations) and arrives ready for work.
At 30m, 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.
Under the HSE Work at Height Regulations 2005, operators must wear a full-body safety harness with a short work-restraint lanyard when using boom-type platforms.
Full guidance can be found in the HSE safety advice for MEWP operators.
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.

While these machines offer working heights of over 30 metres, they typically provide horizontal outreach between 21m and 24m. This allows the machine base to remain positioned safely away from obstacles such as trenches, water, buildings, or busy roads.
Yes. Operators must hold a valid IPAF Category 3b PAL card. Because machines in this class are considered large “Big Kit” access equipment, some sites also require additional familiarisation training.
A ground stability assessment is essential. Machines in this class can weigh up to 20,000kg, so the ground must be capable of supporting the load safely. We provide technical data sheets with ground load information and can supply spreader plates or outrigger mats if required.
