In the spotlight - cherry pickers

Accessing work areas is occasionally harder than simply climbing onto a ladder.

Kennards Hire offers a range of cherry pickers, sometimes also known as manlifts, to help you out in these situations, because even with all the tools and construction knowledge in the world, you still need to be able to reach what you're working on.

The smallest picker will take you up to a height of 3.69 metres, while the largest in the range available for hire reaches nine metres.

These lifts can be used for a range of tasks, like replacing lights, putting up signage indoors or outdoors and maintenance in warehouses or shopping malls.

Most of the lifts available have widths small enough to support doorway access or narrow aisle manoeuvring.

Safety requirements vary between each piece of equipment, but generally speaking, you will at least need a hard hat and safety harness for use.

Talk to the experts at your local Kennards Hire branch to find out about hire rates, safety requirements, and which size of lift will best suit your requirements.
