Why are Cherry Pickers so useful?

There are many reasons why choosing a used Cherry Picker Hire instead of renting or buying a new machine can be more cost-effective and efficient and more and more companies are choosing to buy refurbished electrical access equipment to save money and time. These are some of the benefits of buying a used cherry picker:

This type of lifting platform is the most versatile type of aerial work platform, allowing you to easily work at height or low height.

• Cherry pickers offer lateral and vertical movement, along with 'up and up' reach and access.
• Buying a used work platform can save you thousands of pounds.
• The used electrical access equipment is completely renewed and must have a guarantee, so you know that you are getting a reliable machine.
• There are many different models of used cherry pickers available, with different platform heights, weights, fuel types, and specifications.
• You should be provided with a full-service history of your aerial work platform, including how many working hours you have, so you know exactly what type of projects you have used before.
• Cherry pickers are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, and some models are specifically designed for tight or compact areas.
• Buying a used platform is a profitable option if you have a long-term need for a motorized access machine. When delays hit your schedule, you won't have to worry about rising rental costs if you have your own elevator.
• Using your own work platform means you won't have to wait for your machine to be delivered by the rental company or discover that the model you want is not in stock.
• A used platform can also be resold when you're done, or if you need to change models or upgrade.

You can still arrange a service and maintenance contract with a motor access company to ensure your machine continues to function properly. In accordance with PUWER 1998 guidelines, motorized access machinery must be inspected at least once every six months.

When you need an aerial work platform, it can be difficult to choose between new, rented, or second-hand, but in many cases, buying a used cherry picker will save you money in the long run.

Cherry pickers are the most popular types of aerial work platforms for many different industries and are ideal for all kinds of different jobs including construction, maintenance and service, fire fighting, electrical installation, events, movies and TV, repairs, facility management, stock picking, rack stacking, aviation and rail maintenance, and contractor repair jobs.

The decisions do not end there! Now you must decide if you want a new or used access platform. Any decent platform vendor makes sure any used equipment has been checked and restored before delivering it to the customer. Many locations will even supply complete equipment with a warranty, making them virtually as new.

Finally, if you're still not sure which cherry picker is right for you, or if you’ll need that trailer-mounted lift long-term, why not hires one?
