What are truck mounted cherry pickers?
A truck mounted cherry picker is a powered access platform installed on a truck or lorry chassis that has specially adapted outriggers to ensure stability.
When to use truck mounted cherry pickers
Truck mounted cherry pickers are suitable for a variety of working at height applications including the energy industry, telecommunications and building maintenance.
Truck mounted cherry pickers offer a cost-effective method of moving between job sites and are also very quick to set up for immediate use. We offer self-drive options up to 26m (3.5T and 7.5T chassis) and experienced IPAF trained operators with models with a higher working height.
Truck mounted cherry pickers have a small footprint so even with outriggers deployed for increased stability, they can be set up in busy urban areas with little disruption. Their telescopic booms enable both working at height and an impressive outreach ensuring flexibility for the operator. Truck mounted platforms are often four-wheel drive, making them suitable for use on rough terrain.
Choosing a truck mounted cherry picker
There are a wide range of truck mounted work platforms available, from smaller models that offer working heights up to 22m, to large truck mounts such as the Bronto T90B which offers a working height of up to 90m and an outreach of 31m.
The Bronto truck mounted platform T46B is built to support safe and effective working at height on a wide variety of applications. The T46B is regularly used for tasks in the facilities management and highway maintenance industries and can be fitted with a camera cage for aerial filming in the media sector. The cage can carry up to 600 kg of operators and materials to a working height of 46 m and outreach of 24 m. The ability of the T46B to work in such a range of areas demonstrates the versatility of this powered access platform.
A recent addition to our Specialist Vehicle fleet is our Bronto T35BEM, boasting the highest city safe spec, with a working height of 35m and a horizontal outreach of 29.6m, the Bronto is quick to deploy in congested city centres.
