Our Fleet & Hire Prices
One compact, capable vehicle-mounted platform, operated by a fully trained IPAF operator, with simple half-day and full-day pricing.
The Machine
Vehicle-Mounted, Operated Access
Our cherry picker is mounted on a compact vehicle, so it gets through standard driveways and gateways that a scaffold tower or larger plant simply can't, then sets up and reaches roofs, chimneys and gutters in minutes. Every hire is operated, so you never need a licence or any training: tell us the job and our IPAF operator does the work at height for you.

Fleet & Hire FAQs
Practical questions about the machine, access and how hire works.
How high can the cherry picker reach?
The vehicle-mounted platform offers up to 20m working height and around 13m of horizontal outreach, enough to clear most two and three storey homes and reach over obstacles.
Will it fit down my driveway?
In most cases, yes. It is mounted on a compact vehicle that gets through standard driveways and gateways. If access is tight, send us a photo and we'll check before we book.
What if the machine can't reach the job?
We'll tell you before you commit. Send details or a photo and we'll confirm we can reach it, or suggest another way, rather than turning up and charging for a wasted visit.
Can you set up on grass or soft ground?
Often, yes. We use spreader pads to stabilise the outriggers on softer surfaces. Let us know the ground type when you enquire so we bring the right kit.
Is there a minimum hire?
Our shortest hire is a half day (4 hours) at £250. For quick jobs that is usually plenty; longer jobs move to a full day (8 hours) at £350.
Do you cover commercial work?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, tradespeople and businesses across Halton, Cheshire and Merseyside, with £5m public liability and in-date LOLER certification.
Need to Reach Something?
Operated hire from £250 half day / £350 full day. Tell us the job and we'll confirm we can reach it and quote your full price.
