Cherry Picker Hire for Tree Trimming & Cutting

Need to reach high branches safely for tree trimming, pruning or cutting? Hire a cherry picker for professional tree maintenance and cutting projects across Gauteng.

A cherry picker provides an elevated working platform that can give tree-cutting teams access to branches and sections of trees that are difficult or dangerous to reach from the ground.

Whether you are carrying out routine tree trimming, removing damaged branches or cutting back trees around buildings, roads and power lines, having the right access equipment can make the work more efficient.

Tell us the height of the tree, the location and the work you need to carry out, and we can help determine the appropriate cherry picker for the job.

Cherry picker hire for professional tree work

Tree trimming and cutting frequently involves working at considerable height. Large trees can have branches that extend well beyond the reach of conventional ladders and smaller access equipment.

A truck-mounted cherry picker can provide mobile elevated access, allowing trained tree-care professionals to reach higher sections of a tree while working from a purpose-designed platform.

Cherry picker hire is suitable for a variety of tree maintenance applications, including:

Tree trimming and pruning
Tree cutting
Removing dead or damaged branches
Removing dangerous branches
Storm-damaged tree maintenance
Tree maintenance around buildings
Tree work alongside roads and properties
Cutting branches away from power lines
Large tree maintenance
High-level garden and estate maintenance

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

Reach high branches without ladders

For tall trees, ladders may not provide the reach, stability or positioning required for professional tree work. A cherry picker can provide a raised working platform and can be repositioned as the work progresses, subject to site conditions.

This can be particularly useful when branches are located high above the ground or where the tree is difficult to access from underneath.

The machine’s reach is also important. A tree may be 20m high, for example, but the branches requiring attention may be several metres away from where the truck can safely position itself.

Working height and horizontal outreach should therefore both be considered when selecting the right cherry picker.

Tree trimming and pruning

Regular pruning and trimming can require access to branches throughout the crown of a mature tree. A cherry picker can give professional tree-care teams access to higher branches without requiring extensive temporary access equipment.

Applications can include removing overgrown branches, reducing unwanted growth, removing deadwood and maintaining trees around properties and infrastructure.

If you are planning a large tree-pruning project, provide us with the tree height, location and photographs of the work area so we can assess the access requirements.

Tree cutting and removal

Some tree-cutting projects require access to the upper sections of a tree before larger branches or sections can be removed.

A cherry picker can provide access for suitably trained professionals carrying out this type of work, particularly where the tree is located next to buildings, roads, walls or other obstacles.

For tree removal projects, the access requirements should be assessed carefully before equipment is hired. The weight and size of branches being removed, available ground space, surrounding structures and the position of the machine all need to be considered.

Our cherry picker provides access to the work area; tree cutting and removal should be carried out by appropriately trained professionals using suitable equipment and procedures.

Tree trimming around power lines

Trees growing close to electrical infrastructure can create particularly challenging access requirements. A suitable cherry picker may provide access to branches that need to be trimmed away from overhead infrastructure.

However, working near electrical power lines presents serious hazards. Appropriate safety procedures, clearances, equipment suitability and the requirements of the relevant electricity provider must be considered before work begins.

Contact us with details of the site and the height of the tree so that we can discuss the access requirements for your project.

Suitable for large trees and difficult access

Our cherry pickers can be useful where conventional access methods cannot provide sufficient height or reach.

Before hiring, consider:

Height of the tree
Height of the branches requiring access
Horizontal distance from the proposed machine position
Width and accessibility of the entrance to the property
Ground conditions
Position of buildings, walls and other obstacles
Nearby power lines and other infrastructure
Where branches and cut material will be lowered
Required duration of the hire

Send us photographs of the tree and access area whenever possible. This makes it easier to assess which cherry picker may be suitable.
