Cherry Picker Hire in Southampton and across Hampshire
A van cherry picker is the quick way to work at height on hard standing. Drive it in, set up in minutes and you’re working, which makes it ideal for maintenance, signage, gutter and roofline jobs where you don’t want the time or cost of scaffolding.
Our fleet covers a range of working heights, so whether it’s a single-storey shopfront or a taller commercial frontage, there’s a van to suit. Every machine is kept in good order and ready when you are.
Not sure which one fits your job? Give us a call. We’ll ask a couple of questions about the height, the access and the surface, then point you to the right van.
Not Sure Which Equipment You Need?
What to Consider When Hiring a Cherry Picker
Working height
Measure how high you need to reach and add a bit for comfort. Tell us the height of the job and we’ll make sure the van you hire gets you there safely.
Access and parking
Cherry pickers work best on firm, level ground with room to set up. Have a think about parking, traffic and any site restrictions so we can plan around them.
A scaffolding alternative
For short jobs or hard-to-reach spots, a cherry picker is often quicker and cheaper than scaffolding, with the bonus that you can move it from one spot to the next in minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a cherry picker replace scaffolding?
For a lot of jobs, yes. A cherry picker is quicker to set up and easy to reposition, which makes it a good fit for shorter jobs and awkward spots where scaffolding would be slow and costly.
Do I need training to operate a cherry picker?
Yes. Working at height safely needs proper training and certification, usually an IPAF ticket. If you’re not sure what you need, ask us before you book.
Do I need a driving licence to use a van cherry picker?
If you’re driving it on the road, you’ll need the right licence for the vehicle. Tell us your situation and we’ll let you know what’s required for the van you’re after.
Is a harness a legal requirement in a cherry picker?
Yes. A harness and the correct attachment are required in a boom-type platform to prevent falls, in line with work-at-height regulations. We’ll make sure you’ve got what you need.
What's the alternative to a cherry picker for tight access?
When access is tight or the ground is soft or uneven, a spider lift is usually the better tool. Take a look at our spider lift hire or talk it through with us.

Yes. We’re based in Romsey and cover Hampshire and the South of England, including Southampton, Winchester and Portsmouth. Let us know where the job is and we’ll arrange delivery and collection.
