Top Cherry Picker uses

The highly manoeuvrable, easy to use truck with a telescopic arm – what we know as the cherry picker – was originally designed for fruit picking throughout orchards, however these incredibly versatile pieces of equipment make working at heights much safer and provide a more convenient alternative to scaffolding and ladders. Easy to operate, fast to set up and simple to manoeuvre, cherry pickers can be used in almost any industry for any application where it’s essential to work safely up high. At Local Cherry Picker Milton Keynes we are here to help. Here’s 10 situations where a cherry picker can be put to use.

A building which requires painting often means those given the task have to work at height and often at awkward angles.
