Operated Cherry Picker Hire for Tradesmen and Tree Surgeons

Do you have a job at height that you’re qualified to handle but lack the equipment to get there? Whether you’re a painter, plasterer, electrician, roofer, or another trade professional working at height, we have the ideal solution for you. Our operated cherry picker hire provides you with safe, reliable access to those hard-to-reach places, allowing you to focus on the job at hand.

For tree surgeons, we offer a practical alternative when climbing isn’t an option. If the tree is too fragile, risky, or simply unsuitable for climbing, our cherry picker ensures you can work from a stable, secure platform, reaching every area safely.

We use the Hinowa Lightlift 17.75, a state-of-the-art tracked boom lift designed for versatility. With a maximum height reach of 17 metres and a 9-metre horizontal outreach, this lift provides ample capacity for tools and materials, with a 230 kg load limit.

MINT Spider Lift Hire - Access Safely Difficult Areas
Key Features:

  • Tracked Movement: Unlike wheeled machines, our cherry picker’s tracks allow it to move smoothly over uneven or soft surfaces like grass, gravel, or mud. It’s gentle on delicate surfaces like grass and paving, thanks to its low ground pressure.
  • Outriggers for Stability: The extendable outriggers ensure stability on uneven ground or slopes, making it suitable for confined or challenging spaces.
  • Dual Pantograph Mechanism: This advanced lift system enables you to work flush against walls without losing outreach, offering enhanced stability and flexibility compared to traditional lifts. The basket angle can also be adjusted to suit your specific needs.

Because our service is fully operated, you won’t have to worry about handling the equipment yourself. There’s no need for special licences, as we take care of everything from setup to operation. As long as you meet basic health and confidence requirements, you're good to go. In line with IPAF guidelines, passengers don’t need a PAL Card, but we provide all necessary safety briefings and familiarisation.

What’s Included:

  • Expert operation by a fully trained and insured operator
  • Full safety equipment, including harnesses and protective mats
  • Comprehensive safety briefing and support on-site
  • Delivery to your location, fuel, and machine setup
