Why Cherry Pickers Are the Secret Weapon for Christmas Light Installations

As the festive season approaches, towns, retail parks, and venues across the UK prepare for the magic of Christmas lights. But installing them safely and efficiently? That takes the right equipment - and cherry pickers (MEWPs) are often the answer.

The Challenge

Christmas light installs require working at height, tight timeframes, unpredictable weather, and high-traffic areas. Scaffolding is slow, and ladders are risky.

The Solution

Hiring a MEWP makes the job quicker, safer, and more cost-effective. Our most popular cherry pickers for lighting jobs:

• 3.5T Truck Mounted MEWP – Compact, road-legal, easy to park

• 5.5T Van Mounted MEWP – More height, more capacity

• 4x4 Pickup MEWP – Perfect for off-road or rural sites
  

MEWPs let you drive up, elevate, install, and move on - safely and efficiently.
