Nissan Cabstar cherry picker advice

Alright Guys

 

Just wondering if anyone has one of this cherry pickers or has used one for a period of time? looking at buying one but want to know how reliable they are as there seems to be alot of electrics? Any advice would be appreciated

Company I work for has one. I never use it but its often on jobs i'm on. It seems a pretty good unit as far as access goes. It does seem to have issues here and there with switches/sensors needing replacing. I doubt any of the others are any different though

Thanks Steve

 

Yer heard about the sensors...

I've used one many times. In a period of 4 years I had to brig the basket down once manually due to a failure. Always found it to be a good bit of kit TBH

cheers for the reply Sean, They look handy!

I always found them really good to get in to tight spaces also and good for worming ones way through the crown of a tree.

hello mate.

 

did you buy a cherry picker? I'm thinking of buying one myself but one on the back of a land rover. did you find them issues with using them

i ended up buying a tracked one. A platform basket rqg 18. Best buy, life is much easier and money is good!

If you do get one on a landrover, please drive it carefully. I've seen some right idiots ragging them about round corners, they look like they could easily tip over!
