What is a cherry picker?

A cherry picker, also known as a boom, is a machine used to provide temporary access for people and equipment, to difficult to reach, or inaccessible areas at height. It enables operators to move up and over obstacles, providing precision and versatility in accessing hard to reach areas.

The phrase ‘cherry picker’ is broad term used to also refer to booms, stick booms, stick boom lifts, aerial work platforms (AWPs), elevating work platforms (EWPs), and mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs).

The term cherry picker originates from the use of the machines in orchards, to do what it says on the tin and pick cherries.

What applications are cherry pickers useful for?

Accessing areas of height in confined spaces
Working indoors, as the electric options provide clean burning fuel and non-marking tyres
When you need to reach over an obstacle or barrier
Rough terrain with the 4×4 options
When you need extra reach, as some booms, or cherry pickers, come with an extension called a ‘jib’. This adds another point of movement and allows the boom to be even more flexible in tight working spaces

What training do I need to use a cherry picker?

In order to operate a cherry picker, you will need to have category 3b IPAF training. We can provide training in just the area you require, or we can provide IPAF training for 2 subjects, which will qualify you to operate machines that fall into the 1a, 1b, 3a and 3b categories, such as a scissor lift.

If you have previously been IPAF trained, we also provide refresher IPAF training.
