What Is A Cherry Picker?
A cherry picker is a machine that can help you reach heights in a safe and effective manner. Cherry pickers are types of MEWP – mobile elevating work platforms. However, unlike mobile towers, cherry pickers feature a hydraulic lifting system, as well as a surface or bucket on the end for standing or sitting in, as well as placing tools and other equipment.
The telescopic arm allows you to control how high the picker goes, as well as adjust the position so you can access those hard-to-reach areas. You can use cherry pickers for a variety of purposes, but they were first made to help people pick fruit in orchards.
This is where the name ‘cherry picker’ comes from. Historically, people would use ladders of pulleys to acquire fruit from the treetops, or they would simply settle for the low hanging fruit.
Cherry pickers changed the game and offered a safe way for people to get the best fruits in a safe and timely way. In 2021, you’ll still find cherry pickers in orchards helping workers pick fruit. Using a cherry picker is sure to save both time and money – and prevent you from dropping valuable fruit.
Why Use A Cherry Picker?
Although cherry pickers were first used to pick fruits in orchards, they have a variety of uses in 2021. The cherry picker has been modified to complete an array of tasks, from helping workers in construction to cleaning graffiti and filming from higher angles.
Many people in the construction industry will use cherry pickers as a safe and effective way to access higher floors where construction work is occurring. This usually negates the need for scaffolding and cranes, which can often be more expensive and dangerous than cherry pickers – especially if the work is only short term. Cherry pickers are typically flexible and mobile, making them a great way of providing workers with access to different locations at a variety of heights.
You can also use a cherry picker to help you clean the outside of a building. Whether you plan on getting rid of dirt, moss, or graffiti, a cherry picker is an effective option. You can also use cherry pickers with jet washes, which is perfect for cleaning the exterior of buildings.
It’s far safer to use a cherry picker than ladders or scaffolding when you’re cleaning the outside of a building – as you have somewhere to place your equipment instead of trying to climb a ladder with one hand.
Cherry pickers are also super useful for rescue workers and can assist in saving lives. If you’re trying to save somebody from a burning building, you’re not going to have time to build scaffolding – and a ladder is hardly safe or useful if you have to carry somebody down with you.
Well, a cherry picker offers a safe place for you to place somebody who needs immediate attention and isn’t in a fit state to climb down a ladder. Cherry pickers can also be used for filming – instead of using a drone which can be wobbly and unstable, you can use a cherry picker to film from a high angle without disruption. You can control a cherry picker remotely – simply mount the camera to the cherry picker and use the remote control to film from the best angles.
