Cherry picker hire in Kent
Up and over. Cherry picker is the everyday name for a jointed boom that reaches past canopies, gutters and rooflines, whether it drives on wheels, sets up on tracks or arrives on a van, truck or trailer.
Kent runs from the Medway towns and Maidstone to the cathedral city of Canterbury and the Channel ports, with Victorian terraces, orchard and farm buildings, and large logistics sheds near the M2, M20 and Dartford crossing.
Typical Kent work: Rooflines, brickwork and signage on terraces and high street frontages, and high work on farm and port buildings where reach matters more than deck space.
Boom lift is the machine type. Cherry picker is the everyday name, used most accurately for jointed, up-and-over booms; straight telescopic booms are usually just called boom lifts. Scissor and mast lifts go straight up and are never cherry pickers.
