MEWPs 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.
