Common Jobs for a Cherry Picker
A cherry picker puts a worker in a basket at the end of a boom, so it can reach up and over things a ladder or scissor lift cannot. Our customers hire cherry pickers for jobs like these.
Building Maintenance
and Repairs
Gutters, roofs, lighting and facade repairs where the work sits above or beyond an obstacle. A knuckle boom lets the operator reach up and over to position the basket.
Signage and
Electrical Work
Installing and servicing signage, lighting and cabling at height, from shopfronts to poles. Boom lifts are commonly used for electrical work and signage installation.
Warehouse and
Indoor Work
Electric cherry pickers produce no exhaust and have non-marking tyres, so they suit warehouses, shopping centres and fit-outs where fumes and floor marks are not an option.
Window Cleaning and
Tree Trimming
Boom lifts are also used for window cleaning and tree trimming, putting the operator right next to windows, eaves and branches that a ladder cannot safely reach.
Tight Access and
Narrow Aisles
Compact battery electric mast booms fit through doorways and down narrow aisles, so you can get a small cherry picker into spaces where a larger machine will not fit.
Cherry Picker Sizes
Choose a cherry picker by the height you need to work at, how far you need to reach sideways, and the ground you will drive on. As a rough guide, working height is the platform height plus about 2 m.

Cherry Picker or Scissor Lift?
A scissor lift goes straight up and gives you a large, stable platform for overhead work. A cherry picker gives you reach as well as height, so it is the better choice when the work is above an obstacle, over a roof edge or out from the base of the machine. If you are unsure, call us or read our guide on how to choose the right cherry picker.
Our cherry picker range includes:
- Knuckle booms for up and over reach
- Electric models for indoor work
- Diesel 4x4 models for rough ground
- Compact mast booms for narrow aisles
- Genie, JLG and Snorkel machines
- Daily, weekly and monthly hire

Cherry Picker Hire FAQs
A cherry picker is a boom lift: a machine with a platform or basket on the end of a hinged or telescopic arm that lifts a worker and their tools to the job. Our cherry pickers include electric and diesel knuckle booms, telescopic booms and compact mast booms.
Yes. Our mast booms are battery electric, fit through doorways and narrow aisles and have non-marking tyres. Compact electric knuckle booms such as the Genie Z-30/20N also drive through standard doorways and produce no exhaust.
It depends on the model. Our smaller mast booms work at around 8 to 10 m, compact electric knuckle booms reach about 11 to 16 m, and our larger diesel booms reach working heights over 25 m.
You need a High Risk Work Licence (class WP) to operate a boom-type elevating work platform with a boom length of 11 metres or more. For smaller machines, an EWPA Yellow Card is the usual proof of training, and we run Yellow Card courses every week.
