Many industries in Sheffield benefit from cherry picker hire, as they offer safe, flexible access to height, without the cost or setup time of scaffolding, including:

  • Construction: For structural work, cladding installation, roofing, and general access where scaffolding isn’t practical.
  • Utilities: For fast roadside setup and telescopic boom lifts for work on power lines, lighting columns, and overhead inspections.
  • Telecoms: Perfect for mast work, installing antennae, and network maintenance on rooftops or roadside sites.

  • Infrastructure: Great for inspections, lighting upgrades, and structural checks on highways, rail bridges, and more.
  • Warehousing: Including racking repairs, equipment installations, HVAC maintenance, and electrical work inside large buildings.

What safety, compliance, and operational standards do cherry pickers need to meet?

Cherry pickers must meet strict compliance standards so you can be confident your team is working safely on site. These rules cover how the machines are inspected, maintained, operated, and documented. They include:

LOLER inspections (every 6 months)

All cherry pickers must be inspected under Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations at least twice a year to confirm they’re safe to use.

PUWER compliance

Under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations, cherry pickers must be properly maintained, safe to operate and used only by trained or competent operators.

IPAF training

Anyone operating a cherry picker should have an International Powered Access Federation licence, so the operator understands safe movement and how to use the machine correctly.

Pre-use checks

Basic safety checks should be carried out on your cherry picker, including control and emergency stop buttons, harness points, fluid leaks, and platform and boom condition.

Safe working load

Every cherry picker has a safe working load. Exceeding this limit can overload the boom and increase the risk of tipping. Operators should stay within these limits to keep the vehicle steady and the boom performing as intended.

Stability and ground conditions

Operators must make sure the ground is level and able to support the machine’s weight, including the use of spreader plates, outriggers, and stable surfaces.

Safe site setup and exclusion zones

Before you use a cherry picker, check for overhead hazards like power lines, branches, beams or signs – anything that could put your team or the general public at risk.

Cherry picker hire Sheffield FAQs

Got questions? We’ve got the answers! Here’s everything you need to know about cherry picker hire in Sheffield. If you still need help, just give us a call.

Are cherry pickers suitable for indoor and outdoor use?

Electric cherry pickers are suited to indoor work, warehouses, retail fit-outs, and any low-emission space where noise and fumes are an issue. They’re compact, quiet, and ideal for smooth floors and tight access points.

Diesel models are built for outdoor projects where you need more height, more outreach, and the ability to handle uneven or rough ground – such as construction sites, roofing, tree work, or large façade jobs.

Can I hire a cherry picker with an operator?

Yes, you can hire a cherry picker with a fully trained operator. This is ideal if you’re carrying out a short, technical, or high-level task and want someone on site who knows the equipment inside out.

Our operators handle positioning, safe setup, and all lift controls, so you can focus on the job itself, whether that’s repairs, lighting installs, tree work, signage, or inspections.

Just share your location, timeframe, and job details, and we’ll schedule an operator who arrives ready to work.

Do I need training or a licence to hire a cherry picker?

Most commercial sites expect operators to hold recognised access training (such as an IPAF). If you need support, we can advise on the right course or explain what’s required for your job.

Alternatively, you can hire one of our qualified operators as part of your cherry picker hire for your peace of mind.

Do you deliver cherry pickers nationwide?

We deliver cherry pickers to sites across the UK. Whether you’re working on one local job or managing several sites in different regions, we can get the right machine to you wherever it’s needed. Just get in touch for your free quote now.

Do you offer electric cherry pickers?

Yes, we offer a full range of electric cherry pickers designed for indoor tasks, tight access areas, and any environment where low noise and zero emissions matter (such as warehouses, retail units, schools, hospitals, and commercial fit-outs).

Tell us about your project, and we’ll recommend the unit that matches your height, reach, and floor conditions.

How do I choose the right cherry picker for my job?

To choose the right cherry picker for your job, just share your working height, outreach needs, access points, and surface type. For example, compact electric scissor lifts are best for indoor maintenance and facilities work, and larger diesel boom lifts are best for outdoor construction, roofing, and tree work. Once you’re happy, we’ll arrange delivery at a time that works for your schedule.

What are the different types of cherry pickers?

The different types of cherry pickers include:

  • Articulated models for up-and-over access
  • Telescopic models for straight outreach
  • Vehicle-mounted units for quick set-up and roadside work
  • Diesel models for outdoor or uneven ground
What is a cherry picker, and how does it differ from a boom lift?

A cherry picker (technically an articulated boom) is designed for precise, “up-and-over” positioning around obstacles. A boom lift is the broader category, but usually refers to telescopic booms, which provide maximum vertical reach and straight-line access.

What is the difference between articulated and telescopic booms?

Articulated and telescopic booms are built for different access challenges.

Articulated models are best when you need to work around obstacles, ideal for jobs like building repairs in tight courtyards, M&E work above machinery, or accessing roofs where direct reach isn’t possible. Telescopic booms are the better choice when you need maximum horizontal reach in a straight line, such as cladding installs, large façade work, high signage, or tree trimming at a distance.

We’ll help you choose the model that gives you the safest, most efficient reach for your site layout.

What surfaces can the machine operate on?

Larger diesel models are built for outdoor sites, uneven ground, gravel, and rough terrain, while electric units are designed for smooth indoor floors, warehouse slabs, and tight access areas.

If you’re working on mixed surfaces or need to reach over obstacles, we can recommend the best articulated or telescopic option for that setup. Tell us about your ground conditions, and we’ll point you to the machine that will perform safely and reliably on your site.

What working heights do your cherry pickers reach?

We have a range of cherry pickers that reach varying heights. For example, the Hinowa Lightlift 26.14 reaches 25m in height, whereas our Nissan Cabstar reaches up to 32m.

What’s the average cost of hiring a cherry picker?

The average cost of hiring a cherry picker varies depending on working height, power type, hire length, and delivery location. However, on average, they can cost anywhere between £130 and £600 a day.
