Cherry pickers, also known as telescopic boom lifts, are very popular types of access equipment, and are commonly used on construction sites around the world. Have you recently been browsing cherry pickers for sale, wondering if it is the right investment for your construction business? A cherry picker, especially a new one, is by no means a small purchase and the decision should not be taken lightly.
In this article by Sterling Access, we’ll look at some of the signs indicating that you should invest for your business.
You can Realistically Afford the Cost
A cherry picker is not cheap. Are you able to pay for it upfront? If not, would you be happy to take out an equipment loan to cover the cost? Ensure that you can afford the monthly repayments.
There is Sufficient Storage Space on Your Premises
Cherry pickers are rather large, and storage can often be an issue. It is important that you have secure storage for your cherry picker, to protect it from harsh weather, thieves, and vandals.
You Have Regular Need for Vertical Access
Have you had to hire vertical access equipment on a regular basis? Do you feel your business needs a cherry picker to fulfil its needs? Make sure you are noy purchasing access equipment that does not fulfil your business needs.
You Understand the Maintenance Needs of a Cherry Picker
Before you invest, you should ensure you understand maintenance needs and safety requirements so that you can prepare yourself to meet them.
