A trailer mounted cherry picker consists of a hydraulic boom system mounted on a road-legal trailer, providing cost-effective aerial access without requiring a dedicated self-propelled machine. This towable solution offers flexibility for contractors and maintenance crews who need occasional height access across multiple sites throughout New Zealand without specialized transport vehicles.

Key features of a Trailer Mounted Cherry Picker

• Road-Legal Trailer Base: Standard trailer configuration allows towing with appropriate vehicles, no special transport required.
• Hydraulic Boom System: Articulated or telescopic boom options provide versatile reach capabilities.
• Manual or Powered Setup: Outriggers deploy manually or hydraulically depending on model specification.
• Lower Operating Costs: Reduced purchase price, maintenance, and insurance compared to self-propelled units.
• Versatile Power Options: Battery, mains power, or petrol/diesel power packs available.

Trailer Mounted Cherry Picker Considerations

• Towing Requirements: Vehicle capacity and driver licensing affect equipment selection and operation.
• Setup Location: Level ground and outrigger space requirements influence job site selection.
• Working Height Limitations: Heights typically limited to 12-20m compared to larger self-propelled units.
• Weather Restrictions: Lighter construction makes these more susceptible to wind conditions.
• Mobility at Height: Lack of drive capability while elevated affects work efficiency and planning.
