MEWP Hire

Quick & Easy Access Up to 27 Metres

MEWPs (Mobile Elevating Work Platforms), sometimes called mobile access platforms, offer an incredibly adaptable and flexible solution for various purposes. They can help you reach up to 27 metres, ideal for projects requiring great heights. 

Hi-Point has provided MEWPs in Sheffield for many projects, including stadium work at Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday. Unlike scaffolding, MEWPs offer a flexible option that allows you to manoeuvre around projects efficiently, perfect for short jobs or emergency tasks. We have two kinds of cherry pickers for hire that are suitable for different purposes; contact our team to find the right solution for your project.

Why Choose a Mobile Elevating Work Platform?

MEWPs (also known as Cherry Pickers) offer a convenient alternative to fixed scaffolding, enabling you to reach more areas without needing fixed scaffolding construction. Here are some examples of jobs where you may consider Cherry Picker hire:

  • Building maintenance at heights, including window cleaning, roofing repairs or renovation.
  • Fitting lights, electrics or CCTV at height, enabling you to move from one area to the next in a safe manner.
  • Fitting or removing temporary or permanent signage at any height.
  • Setting up equipment and temporary structures for a live event.
  • Performing tree surgery tasks including felling and dismantling.
  • Window cleaning jobs that require safe access to windows at height.

If you’re unsure which of our available Cherry pickers is suitable for your job or project, be sure to contact us. A member of our expert team will be in touch to discuss your requirements and provide the optimal solution.

MEWP Hire FAQs

MEWP stands for Mobile Elevated Work Platform. MEWPs are used for projects that require safe work at height. They typically fall into three categories: unpowered, self-propelled, and vehicle-mounted. MEWPs are also sometimes referred to as Cherry Pickers. Check out our in-depth blog for more information on the different types of MEWPs.

The benefits of using MEWPs include:

  • Easy to use – MEWPs are easy to manoeuvre around a building as they can be towed or mounted;
  • Safety – there is no dismantling process with MEWPs, and they come with built-in guard rails, reducing the risk of injury or accident;
  • Flexible use – there are different types of MEWPs available that can be used in both internal and external projects;
  • Cost-effective – MEWPs can significantly boost productivity on short-term jobs due to being easy to move. This can minimise costs for your business as you can complete more projects quicker and reduce hire costs.

MEWPs are ideal for small-scale projects that require a lot of moving around the building, both internally and externally. Alternatively, they can be used to transport heavy equipment and materials to a high part of the building in a safe manner.

Other applications for a cherry picker include:

  • Events
  • Tree Surgery
  • Window Cleaning

When set up and maintained correctly, MEWPs provide a safe working platform for jobs that require working at heights.

You do not require a licence to operate a mobile elevating work platform other than a regular car licence. This licence will provide sufficient coverage for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. If you happened to pass your driving test before 1994, you can operate a cherry picker up to 7.5 tonnes. However, before you can use a cherry picker, you must receive training in accordance with ISO 18878.
