Why choose ACS Access?
Our comprehensive cherry picker fleet has been devised to suit all your needs.
We hire out safe and reliable truck-mounted platforms for use in a wide range of industries including general maintenance, telecommunications, TV & film, industrial cleaning, utilities and agriculture.
Smaller units such as the truck mounted Ascendant 22 are great value and perfect for tasks you might associate with a cherry picker van but with additional reach, stability and lift capacity.
We are based near Bolton and have a strong base of clients who need powered access hire and boom truck rental in the North West, but we have customers nationwide and offer timely delivery wherever you are in the mainland UK.
How much does it cost to hire a boom lift?
The price you pay will depend on the cherry picker you need and how long you need it for. Tell us what you need and ACS Access will provide a quote and find the ideal powered access hire deal for you. You can also call 01254 693 131 to speak to one of our friendly team.
Do I or my staff need training in order to operate a truck mounted platform?
If you have a standard UK driving license, you are legally able to drive a cherry picker that weighs under 3 and a half tons. On top of this, if you acquired your driving license before 1994, you are able to operate cherry pickers that weigh up to 7.5 tons. To operate heavier, more specialised machinery, you must undergo sufficient training. ACS Access recommend that the operator is competent, including any relevant training, before driving any cherry picker or operating a boom lift.
What is the tallest truck mounted platform available?
The tallest truck mounted platform that we have available at ACS Access is the highly popular Palfinger WT700, that has a maximum working height of 70m.
What is the smallest truck mounted platform available?
With a closed length of 8.7m and a maximum reach height of 22m, our Ascendant truck is a real hit with customers who were initially looking for a transit cherry picker or other van mounted bucket lift. The dimensions compare favourably and this sturdy platform is perfect for similar maintenance tasks at height including signage, lighting, foliage control and roof inspections.
