A truck mounted cherry picker is a mobile elevating work platform mounted onto a road-going vehicle. It is designed for projects where safe working at height, fast travel between sites and efficient set-up are all important.
Also known as a lorry mounted cherry picker, truck mounted MEWP, lorry mounted MEWP or truck mounted boom lift, this type of access platform is ideal for projects that need strong outreach, high working height and road-to-road flexibility.
Prime Plant Hire can help source truck mounted MEWPs from around 20m through to specialist high-reach machines up to approximately 104m, depending on availability, site conditions and project requirements.
Road-going platforms can travel directly to site, set up efficiently and move between locations quickly.
Suitable for everything from local maintenance work to extreme-height infrastructure and industrial projects.
Useful when the work area is set back from the vehicle or positioned above obstacles, roads, buildings or restricted areas.
Ideal when standard boom lifts, scaffolding or self-propelled platforms cannot provide the required height, reach or mobility.
Pylon work, overhead line inspection, substations and emergency repairs.
Mast work, antenna installation, network upgrades and emergency access.
Façade works, glazing, cladding, roofing, snagging and finishing works.
Gutters, rooflines, soffits, panels, flashing and high-level repairs.
Retail parks, high streets, petrol stations, banners and illuminated signs.
Building inspections, reactive repairs, gutter cleaning and planned maintenance.
Lighting rigs, camera positions, temporary structures and stadium events.
Vessel maintenance, industrial access, docks, factories and infrastructure.

Yes. Prime Plant Hire supplies truck mounted cherry picker hire nationwide across the UK, so we can help source a suitable machine for your location.
Many truck mounted MEWPs, especially larger or more specialist machines, are supplied with experienced operators. Smaller options may vary depending on machine type, licence requirements and site conditions.
Truck mounted MEWPs are used across utilities, telecoms, wind energy, construction, roofing, cladding, signage, facilities management, ports, events, film, TV, local authorities, highways and industrial maintenance.
They are better for some jobs, especially where road mobility, fast repositioning, high outreach or short-duration access is important. A self-propelled boom lift may be better for enclosed long-term site work.
