How much does boom lift hire cost in Essex?

A week's hire starts from £481.60 ex VAT (£577.92 inc VAT), optional damage waiver included, for the Skyjack SJ45 T 15.6m diesel telescopic boom lift. Delivery and collection to your Essex postcode is priced before you pay. Every machine page shows its own prices by hire length.

Do you have a depot in Essex?

No. Hire a Lift delivers nationwide, so we deliver to sites in Essex rather than running a local depot. Enter your site postcode on any machine page to see delivery and any area surcharge before you book.

Do I need a permit to use a boom lift on a road or pavement in Essex?

Usually, yes. If the machine will stand on the road or pavement, ask Essex County Council, the highway authority, or the borough or district council for the street about a highway permit before your hire, and allow time for it to be granted. On private land, such as a yard, car park or inside a building, the landowner's permission is enough.

Will I get a particular make or model?

Each listing is a size and type of machine, described by working height, reach and power. The make supplied can vary, so check the machine details with us before your hire if a particular model matters. Call 0333 038 4946 with any questions.

Boom lift hire in Essex

Height and reach on a self-propelled base. Articulated booms bend up and over obstacles; telescopic booms reach furthest in a straight line from one spot.

Essex stretches from the Thames estuary and Southend seafront to Chelmsford, Colchester and the rural north, with Victorian terraces, new housing and large distribution sheds near the A12 and M25. Coastal and estuary sites bring salt air and exposed ground.

Typical Essex work: Gutters, fascias and roof work on terraces and new builds, and cladding and signage on sheds and retail parks, where up and over reach clears parked cars and yards.

Boom lift is the machine type. Cherry picker is the everyday name, used most accurately for jointed, up-and-over booms, so articulated booms are often called cherry pickers and straight telescopic booms are usually just called boom lifts.
