Every single hire comes with our fully qualified and insured operator, allowing you to focus entirely on your trade while we handle the navigation.

Reaching High Places Safely with Our Cherry Picker Hire
Working at height is inherently dangerous, and taking shortcuts simply isn't an option for professional tradespeople. At Tyning Landscapes, our goal is to eliminate the stress of high-access logistics. By providing cherry picker hire complete with a fully qualified and insured operator, we ensure that you can safely reach the most difficult areas of any property without having to worry about operating heavy machinery yourself.
We know that different sites present entirely different challenges, which is why our fleet includes two distinct machines tailored for varying terrains and heights. Our Land Rover mount is an exceptional piece of engineering, boasting a 14.5m maximum height with 6m outreach and a 6m "up-and-over" capability. Because it is mounted on a rugged 4x4 chassis, it is perfect for reaching awkward, off-road locations that standard vehicles simply cannot access.
For jobs that demand extreme elevation, our Cabstar mount is the ultimate workhorse. Delivering a staggering 21m straight up and a 10m outreach, it is ideal for towering residential blocks, large commercial premises, and deep setbacks. With our expert operators at the helm of these machines, tradesmen can confidently ascend to their working height, knowing they are entirely secure and supported.
Operator Expertise: Our operators handle the setup, levelling, and precise movement of the basket, letting you focus on your work.
Insured Reliability: Full insurance and certification mean complete peace of mind for you and your clients.
Bespoke Fleet: From the all-terrain 14.5m Land Rover to the soaring 21m Cabstar, we have the right machine for the job.
Cherry Picker Hire vs. Traditional Scaffolding
We hold a strong opinion in the access industry: for the vast majority of short-to-medium-term maintenance and installation tasks, traditional scaffolding is an expensive, outdated overkill. Scaffolding takes days to erect, is an eyesore for the property owner, and often blocks access to driveways and pathways. Furthermore, it invites security risks by providing an open ladder to the upper levels of a property during the night.
In stark contrast, our cherry picker hire is dynamic and immediate. We can arrive on-site, set up safely within minutes, elevate you to complete your work, and be gone the very same day. There is no waiting for a scaffolding gang to arrive, no ugly metal framework left on your client’s property for weeks, and no lengthy permit applications for long-term pavement blockages.
When factoring in the time saved, our service represents exceptional value for money for local trades. You pay for the precise time you need to safely complete the task.
"Tradesmen frequently tell us that what would have taken them a week of waiting on scaffolders took just three hours in the basket of our Cabstar. It completely revolutionises their project timelines and profit margins." — Tyning Landscapes Operator
Cherry Picker Hire for Window Cleaners and Exterior Cleaners
Window cleaners and exterior cleaning specialists face unique challenges when dealing with modern, multi-storey properties or heritage homes with delicate facades. While water-fed poles are excellent for standard work, they often lack the precision needed for deep restoration or reaching awkward architectural angles. Using our cherry picker hire means exterior cleaners can get face-to-face with the masonry or glass, allowing for meticulous soft-washing, render cleaning, and detailed manual scrubbing that leaves a flawless finish.
Beyond just the windows and brickwork, accessing the very edges of a roofline is vital for comprehensive property care. Our operators frequently assist teams with gutter cleaning on properties where the sheer drop or fragile roof tiles make ladders incredibly hazardous. In the basket, cleaners can easily scoop out heavy debris, flush downpipes, and even carry out minor fascia repairs without ever stepping foot on a fragile roof.
Furthermore, the rise of renewable energy has created a massive demand for cleaning solar panels. Solar panels are incredibly slippery and delicate, meaning nobody should be walking on a roof to clean them. Our cherry pickers provide the perfect stable platform, allowing cleaners to use specialised, non-abrasive tools to remove moss, bird droppings, and grime, ensuring the panels return to maximum efficiency safely.
Expert Cherry Picker Hire for Tree Surgeons
Arboriculture is undeniably one of the most hazardous trades in the UK. Climbing decaying trees, dealing with heavy limbs, and operating chainsaws simultaneously requires immense skill and involves significant risk. Our cherry picker hire provides tree surgeons with a secure, stable haven. Instead of relying solely on ropes and spikes—especially on dead or diseased ash trees where the structural integrity is compromised—the surgeon can work comfortably from the basket.
The versatility of our fleet truly shines in arboreal work. Often, problem trees are located at the bottom of muddy paddocks or overhanging difficult boundaries. This is where our 4x4 Land Rover cherry picker becomes invaluable. Its off-road capabilities allow us to navigate rough terrain to get right to the base of the tree, while the 6m up-and-over boom can articulate gracefully over hedges, outbuildings, and fences.
By utilising our machines and qualified operators, tree surgeons can perform sectional dismantling, crown reductions, and deadwooding much faster. The operator anticipates the cuts, moving the basket precisely to avoid falling timber and repositioning smoothly to keep the surgeon at the optimal, safest cutting angle throughout the job.
Hazard Reduction: Eliminates the need to climb structurally unsound or dying trees.
Off-Road Access: The Land Rover easily traverses muddy fields and woodland edges.
Operator Synergy: Our operators work seamlessly with tree surgeons to position the basket away from drop zones.
Secure Cherry Picker Hire for Electricians
For electricians, working at height often involves intricate wiring, heavy components, and a need for extreme precision. Whether installing commercial security cameras, fixing street lighting, or maintaining high-bay lighting in warehouses, trying to balance on a ladder while using two hands to strip wires is simply not safe or compliant with modern health and safety standards. Our cherry picker hire solves this problem instantly.
The safety cage provides a stable, level platform where electricians have the freedom to use both hands securely. They can bring up heavy tool bags, conduit, and replacement fixtures right alongside them, saving exhausting trips up and down a ladder. Our Cabstar, reaching up to 21 metres, is particularly popular for electricians dealing with large-scale industrial units or high-mast floodlighting.
Furthermore, electrical fault finding at height can be time-consuming. Because our fully qualified operator handles all the manoeuvring, the electrician can focus entirely on reading their multi-meter, tracing cables, and executing repairs. It turns a stressful, precarious job into a comfortable, ground-level-equivalent working environment.
Precision Cherry Picker Hire for Burner and Gas Flue Installers
Installing heavy, unwieldy gas flues or solid fuel liners on the outside of a property requires exceptional stability. Burner and gas flue installers often have to drill deep into tough masonry to secure brackets, a task that demands leverage and physical force that simply cannot be safely generated from a ladder. With our cherry picker hire, installers have a rigid, unmoving base from which they can safely operate heavy SDS drills and manoeuvre long sections of flue into place.
These installations often require working directly at the chimney stack, which brings its own set of dangers. Installers frequently encounter unexpected chimney damage, such as crumbling mortar, loose pots, or compromised brickwork. Our cherry pickers allow tradesmen to inspect the stack closely and safely before committing their weight to the area, ensuring that a simple flue installation doesn't turn into a structural disaster.
Our operators are highly skilled at tucking the basket right up against the roofline or chimney stack. This precise positioning means the installer isn't overreaching or straining their back. They can drop liners down the chimney pot safely, seal cowls, and finish the job knowing they are guarded by a robust safety rail at all times.
Specialist Cherry Picker Hire for TV and Film
Beyond the standard construction and maintenance trades, Tyning Landscapes is proud to support the creative industries. The right lighting and camera angles are everything in production, and standard scaffolding towers are often too inflexible for dynamic shoots. By hiring a cherry picker for TV and film with us, lighting technicians can safely rig massive diffusion frames or high-powered lights to simulate moonlight, while camera operators can capture sweeping, high-angle establishing shots. Our operators are accustomed to the quiet, precise movements required on set, ensuring your production stays on schedule and your crew stays safe.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Cherry Picker Hire
Do I need a special licence to use your cherry picker hire?
No, you do not. Every single one of our cherry pickers is supplied with our own fully qualified, insured, and experienced operator. We drive the vehicle to your site, set it up, and operate the boom, leaving you to focus entirely on your trade.
Which machine should I choose for my cherry picker hire?
It depends entirely on your access needs! If you need to go off-road, cross a muddy field, or navigate a tight country lane, our 4x4 Land Rover (14.5m height) is perfect. If you are working on a high commercial building or a three-storey townhouse from a solid surface, our Cabstar (21m height) will get you exactly where you need to be.
Can your cherry picker hire be used in bad weather?
Your safety is our absolute priority. While we can operate in many conditions, we cannot elevate the basket during high winds, lightning storms, or torrential rain that obscures visibility. Our operator will assess the site on the day to ensure conditions are completely safe for elevation.
