Van Mounted Access Platforms and MEWPs
Van-mounted access platforms for sale can be useful for businesses working across multiple locations because the access equipment is mounted on a road-going vehicle. This can make the configuration suitable for applications where travelling between sites is an important part of the operation.
Select a van-mounted MEWP for sale based on the full working envelope. Working height and outreach are important, but platform capacity, vehicle dimensions, access restrictions and the operating environment should also be considered.
Businesses looking for small van-mounted cherry pickers for sale may need to pay particular attention to vehicle dimensions and access requirements. A compact vehicle configuration can be useful where the machine needs to reach locations with restricted access, although the exact specification must be checked against the site.
Van Mounted Cherry Picker for Sale UK
When purchasing a van-mounted access platform, start by establishing the working position you need to reach. The machine should provide sufficient working height and outreach while remaining suitable for the roads, access routes and locations where it will operate.
The vehicle itself is also part of the equipment specification. Consider its overall dimensions, operating weight, parking requirements and access to the intended work areas. Where the machine will be used regularly across different sites, these factors can be particularly important.
For businesses buying used equipment, consider the condition of both the vehicle and the access platform. Maintenance information, inspection records and the machine's overall history can help inform the purchase decision.
Choosing the Right Van Mounted Platform
The term 135 articulating boom lift is commonly associated with machines in the 135ft-class range. Rapid Platforms' BA135DS is the Genie G135DS, with a 43.15m reach height and 21.26m horizontal reach.
For projects at this scale, transport dimensions, ground conditions, working radius and lifting capacity all need to be assessed before hire.
Applications for Van Mounted Cherry Pickers
Van-mounted cherry pickers can be considered for applications that require elevated access at multiple locations. Depending on the machine specification, this can include suitable maintenance, inspection, installation, facilities and infrastructure work.
The ability to travel between locations can make a van-mounted configuration useful for businesses whose work involves visiting different sites during normal operations. However, the platform's working envelope and vehicle configuration should always match the project's actual requirements.
Other Access Equipment for Sale
A van-mounted cherry picker is one of several options available for businesses purchasing powered access equipment. Where a project requires a different configuration, a truck-mounted cherry picker for sale can provide another vehicle-mounted access solution.
For applications requiring long, straight-line reach, a telescopic boom lift for sale may be more appropriate. Where restricted access is important, spider lifts for sale can provide an alternative configuration.
Businesses requiring primarily vertical access can also consider a new scissor lift for sale, depending on the required working height, platform capacity and operating environment.
Buying a Used Van Mounted Cherry Picker
When considering a pre-owned machine, assess the vehicle and access platform as a complete unit. Working hours, maintenance history, inspection information, vehicle condition and platform specification can all be relevant when determining suitability.
The machine should also meet your expected future requirements. A platform that provides adequate height but insufficient outreach or capacity may not be suitable for the work you intend to undertake.
