Cherry Picker Hire for Construction & Building Maintenance

Need access to high-level areas of a building or construction site? Hire a cherry picker for construction, building maintenance, repairs and installation work across Gauteng.

From new construction projects and building renovations to ongoing property maintenance, a cherry picker provides mobile elevated access for work that needs to be carried out at height.

Cherry pickers are particularly useful where workers need to reach external walls, roofs, structural elements, services, windows, signage and other high-level areas without installing permanent or temporary scaffolding.

Tell us the height, location and type of work required and we can help you identify the appropriate cherry picker for your project.

Cherry picker hire for construction projects

Construction projects frequently require workers and contractors to access areas that are difficult to reach from ground level. A cherry picker can provide mobile elevated access at different stages of a construction or building project.

Applications can include:

Building construction and maintenance
Renovation and refurbishment work
Roof and gutter maintenance
External building repairs
Painting and waterproofing
Window installation and maintenance
Electrical installation
Plumbing and building services
Cladding and facade work
Roofing work
High-level cleaning and maintenance
Installation of building services and equipment

Building maintenance at height

Commercial and industrial buildings require regular maintenance to keep their external structures, services and equipment in good condition. Many of these jobs involve access to areas several metres above ground level.

A cherry picker can provide access for maintenance teams working on building exteriors, roofs, facades, lighting, gutters, windows and other high-level areas.

It can also be useful for property managers and facilities teams who need temporary access for individual maintenance projects rather than permanent access equipment.

At Jumbo Cherry Pickers, we have a solution for you.

Access for repairs and refurbishment

Building repairs and refurbishment projects often involve several different trades working at height. Having mobile access equipment available can make it easier for contractors to reach different areas of the building as the project progresses.

Cherry picker hire can be used for jobs such as repairing external surfaces, painting, waterproofing, replacing building components and installing fixtures or services.

Because a truck-mounted cherry picker can be repositioned, it can be particularly useful on projects where access is required at several locations around a building.

High-level installation work

Construction and building projects often require the installation of equipment and services at height. A cherry picker can provide access for appropriately trained installation teams working on:

Electrical equipment and cabling
Lighting
Air-conditioning equipment
Ventilation and ducting
Security equipment
Cameras and other building technology
Signage
External building fixtures
Roof and facade equipment

If the installation point is high above ground level or difficult to reach with conventional equipment, a cherry picker may provide a practical temporary access solution.

Cherry picker hire instead of scaffolding

Scaffolding remains appropriate for many construction and building projects, particularly where workers need continuous access across a large area for an extended period. However, it is not always the most practical solution for shorter-duration or mobile maintenance work.

A cherry picker can provide access to specific areas without constructing a complete scaffold structure around the building.

This can be particularly useful when work is limited to individual locations, when several areas need to be accessed during the day, or when a contractor needs temporary access for a specific installation or repair.

Choosing the right cherry picker for construction work

The required working height is an important consideration, but it is not the only one. The position of the work area, horizontal outreach, ground conditions and available space can all affect which machine is appropriate.

For example, a building may be 20m high but the area requiring maintenance may be set back from the edge of the building. In this situation, the machine needs sufficient horizontal reach as well as working height.

Before hiring, consider:

Required working height
Horizontal outreach required
Ground conditions
Available space for positioning the machine
Access through gates or entrances
Whether the work is indoors or outdoors
Duration of the project
Number of locations requiring access
Site restrictions and surrounding obstacles

If you are unsure which machine you require, send us photographs of the building and work area along with the approximate height. We can help you assess the access requirements.
