Install, replace and write signs on buildings, billboards and highways on a vast scale. Able to accommodate workers and their supplies, cherry pickers offer a stable platform, help streamline the process and minimise downtime. - Tree maintenance
Arborists and landscapers benefit greatly from MEWPs when it comes to tree pruning, trimming and removal. Their precise manoeuvrability and extended reach provide a safer and more effective alternative to traditional climbing methods. - Emergency services
Who knew cherry pickers could help save lives? During emergency situations, such as firefighting or rescue operations, they are essential tools for reaching elevated locations quickly. Firefighters can use them to access upper floors, balconies or rooftops while rescue teams can employ cherry pickers for swift and safe evacuation of individuals trapped in high-rise buildings. - Stadium maintenance
Maintaining huge structures like sports stadiums involves a wealth of tasks including lighting maintenance, scoreboard repairs and general upkeep. Simplify these operations with a cherry picker, offering a stable platform for technicians to access elevated areas, ensuring the smooth functioning of stadiums and enhancing the spectator experience. - Film and photography
In the world of media production, cherry pickers have become indispensable extras. From film production and photography to large-scale events, they can assist with the suspension of equipment and allow camera operators to deliver unique perspectives. Capture stunning aerial shots, panoramic views and breathtaking visuals for a range of media outputs. - Horticulture and farming
In agriculture, these machines are invaluable. From maintaining tall farming equipment to fruit harvesting, a cherry picker is a far more secure and efficient option compared to ladders. Did you know that the original purpose for a cherry picker was harvesting fruit - hence its name!
While these are just a few uses, the versatility and height-reach capabilities of our machines make them invaluable in a multitude of industries where working at heights is required.
