Learn the difference between truck mounts, cherry pickers, and boom lifts

The terms “truck mounts,” “cherry pickers,” and “boom lifts” are often used interchangeably, but there are some key differences between them:

Truck mounts:

• technically not a type of aerial lift itself, but rather a mounting platform for other types of lifts.
• can be used with both cherry pickers and boom lifts.
• typically mounted on the bed of a truck, allowing for transportation between job sites.
• offer increased stability due to the truck’s weight and outriggers.

Cherry pickers:

• specific type of aerial lift characterised by a telescopic boom and platform/basket for workers.
• can be trailer-mounted, truck-mounted, or self-propelled.
• typically offer limited horizontal reach compared to boom lifts.
• often used for construction, maintenance, and window cleaning.

Boom lifts:

• broader category of aerial lifts that includes cherry pickers and other types with different boom configurations.
• can be trailer-mounted, self-propelled, or scissor lifts.
• offer a wider range of boom types like telescopic, articulating, and knuckle booms.
• provide greater horizontal reach and versatility compared to cherry pickers.
• used in various applications, including construction, utilities, and events.

Ultimately, the best choice for your needs depends on the specific task, required height and reach, mobility needed, and budget.
