Access Platform Hire Ellesmere Port
We are a fully IPAF licensed company, specialising in providing an efficient and highly cost-effective access platform service.

What Is An Access Platform?
If you work in construction, chances are, you’ve used access platforms. An access platform is a raised platform that allows you to access high-up spaces – and many access platforms can move position to give you better access to where you need to be. There are various different access platforms, but at Cherry Picker Hire, we use cherry pickers.
Cherry pickers begin at ground level and can be raised to a certain height. Our quality cherry pickers can reach heights of up to 20 metres, which can easily reach the top of 5 storey buildings.
Cherry pickers are the ultimate solution to accessing those difficult to reach spaces – and the best part is that you can bring your tools and equipment into the convenient platform with you. The platform is found on the end of a telescopic arm which can be raised and adjusted to the position you need. Cherry pickers are mobile elevating work platforms (MERPs for short). Cherry pickers can achieve their height through a hydraulic lifting system.
Health and safety is important when working at a height, so only trained operators should use cherry pickers. As previously mentioned, our cherry pickers can achieve heights of up to 20 metres, and falls from this height can be deadly. We provide both operators and drivers that have plenty of experience and training.
There are a variety of different cherry pickers that are used in different industries. The best types of cherry picker for reaching heights are telescopic or straight booms, but if you want an up and over reach, then compact crawler lifts or spider lifts are best. Articulating or jointed booms are the best for moving in a variety of different directions, which is perfect if you want to access a hard to reach area.
Why Use Access Platforms?
Historically, cherry pickers were used in orchards to pick the best fruit from the treetops, which is where they get the name cherry picker. Cherry pickers have since been modified to be used to complete a variety of tasks, from rescuing people from buildings to cleaning roofs and unclogging gutters.
You’ll find cherry pickers on construction sites. Cherry pickers and other access platforms allow construction workers to reach spaces they wouldn’t usually, and they negate the need for costly scaffolding and dangerous ladders.
Cherry pickers are mobile and flexible which makes them perfect for accessing different heights and locations. If you need to clean or paint the outside of your home or business, a cherry picker is a great solution. Buildings need cleaning on a regular basis, especially if the other buildings on the street are spotless and yours is covered in dirt. Cherry pickers make it easier than ever to clean and paint the outside of buildings.
Access platforms are also used in the emergency services to access difficult to reach spaces. It’s much easier for rescue workers to use cherry pickers than to climb ladders – especially when rescuing multiple people. Cherry pickers can give fast access to high spaces, which is convenient for any industry.
Repairs can also be completed using a cherry picker – if you need your roof repaired, gutter fixed, or your aerial repaired, then a cherry picker may be the best way. We can also provide you with a roofer to take the weight off your shoulders.
