Your Working Environment Before hiring any height equipment, you need to think about
your site. You need to consider whether you are working inside or outside, on
flat ground or uneven, alongside obstructions and space.
By carrying out a check on your environment, you can settle
on the most suited machine This should help avoid any hazards before any work
starts.
The Job Specifics You also need to consider the job at hand and what height
and reach you need to complete the job safely. The cherry picker’s height is
the height from the surface on which it is placed, right up to the maximum
height it can reach. However, the reach of the machine is the measurement of
the distance from the lifting arm to the place where the average person can
stretch their arm.
This will reduce the risk of accidents in the workplace.
Operator Certifications Whatever access equipment you choose, if you are working at
a height, you require a qualified and competent individual to operate it. This
means holding an IPAF PAL Card for this machine category.

assistance.
