Cherry Picker Hire

It’s been many years since the first powered access platforms arrived on the market but the term cherry picker remains a very common term when referring to different types of boom mounted platform and originally derives from fruit picking in orchards where the picker had to get up and over the fruit trees.

The term Cherry Picker has made it to Wikipedia and is defined as “a type of aerial work platform that consists of a platform or bucket at the end of a hydraulic lifting system.”

Today, there’s many different types of cherry pickers – electric diesel, telescopic and articulated.

There are cherry picker machines with wheels and cherry pickers with tracks. JMS has one of the most comprehensive cherry picker hire fleets in the UK and can help you work safely at height – whether you’re cleaning windows, putting up signage, erecting steel or even picking those cherries.
