National spider lift hire,
from 15m to 40m.

Every job is different. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for a spider lift, so I don't use a standard price sheet. Outreach, ground conditions, and site access all change which machine is right for the job. Contact me for a two-minute chat and I'll get a firm quote to you within hours.

A spider lift is a tracked MEWP (Mobile Elevating Work Platform) that walks on rubber crawlers and sets up on four outriggers. It is built for tight access and ground that a truck mount or scissor can't reach. Transport widths can go under 800mm, so they fit through standard doorways. Working heights range from about 13m up to 52m on the biggest machines.

A properly set-up spider lift on a stable surface, with outriggers correctly deployed and spreader pads where the ground bearing demands it, is extremely stable. Tip-overs are almost always down to skipped outrigger checks, slopes outside the rated envelope, or moving the basket past the chassis limit. Familiarisation before the job and a sensible operator solve 99% of the risk.

Cherry picker is the everyday term most people use for any boom lift. A spider lift is a specific type, tracked rather than wheeled, with outriggers instead of a heavy chassis. The advantage is weight, footprint, and the ability to reach places a van-mounted or truck-mounted boom physically cannot get to. They are slower to set up but unlock jobs other kit can't.

Nationally. Scotland to Southampton. Our fleet sits across UK depots within the AFI Rentals Group, so we can deploy machines to most sites within a working day.

Both. Operated hire means the machine arrives with a trained operator and you focus on the work. Self drive means we supply the machine and your IPAF-trained operator runs it. Familiarisation is included on every self drive.
