Which MEWP? Which Cherrypicker? Working at Height!

[TrackedAccessPlatforms]

If anyone needs help with specifications of cherrypickers, specifically tracked and rough-terrain; please give us a shout where we can help direct you to the ideal peice of equipment!

 

We are also looking for arborists' thoughts and opinions of current cherrypicker problems and solutions into improving our own fleet of tracked access platforms and creating with our manufacturer an Arb-Specific Machine (Average Working Height: 24m)

 

Ideas, preferences would be much appreciated.

 

Best Regards

Hello Alex,

 

just saw your other thread, then this one.

 

We have a trailed Denka DL28.

 

Good height & outreach but next to useless for setting up.

Just not designed for off road terrain.

 

Tracked are the best options for sure.

 

Occasionally use Teupens at a couple of our sites.

Which (if budget allowed) would be my prefered replacement for the Denka.

Hi David,

 

Thanks for your message. What would you say the average height required is, from your experience?

 

We are currently looking at having two narrow-width tracked arb-models, a 24m and a 32m (Both articulated with impressive outreach).

 

If you can think of any other issues with the tracked machines you have used in the past or perhaps new features, please let me know and I can make sure your invited to the testing days.

 

Best Regards

If i was going to have two models i would have a 17 m and the 32m, 17m will do most average size trees, but would be a bit cheaper to rent out, Also i always think it would be handy if cherry pickers could be controlled from the ground to lift bits of timber onto a trailer etc, as you say arb specific.

A 19m & 32m would fit my needs comfortably.

 

 

I guess different Arbs need Mewps for different things.

 

We possibly only use platforms perhaps 6 times a year.

 

Currently most of our mewp work is re-reducing dead standing monoliths that can't be climbed.

 

Probably don't really need anything bigger than a 19m for that.

Think a mini crane would best suit that application.

 

 

Get your self one of these
