About Cherry Pickers from MCM Group+

Cherry pickers for sale in South Africa

MCM Group stocks 7 cherry picker models for sale across South Africa, ready for collection at our branches in Cape Town, George, Bloemfontein, Midrand or for delivery to any of the nine provinces. Every cherry picker we supply is selected and specified for tough local working conditions, and backed by in-country parts and service so you are never waiting on an overseas supplier when you need to keep working.

Cherry pickers are used for safe working at height for maintenance, installation, painting and inspection. Whether you are a contractor, farmer, plant-hire operator or municipality, our team will help you match the right machine to your application and budget rather than over- or under-speccing the job.

How to choose the right cherry picker

Start with the work the machine will do most often. Matching engine power, operating weight and lift or dig capacity to your typical tasks keeps running costs down and avoids paying for capability you will rarely use. If you run attachments, check the hydraulic flow and coupler type up front, and think about transport — how you will move the cherry picker between sites affects which size class makes sense.

Compare the full specification of each model on its product page, then weigh up availability of parts, ease of servicing and resale value. A slightly higher purchase price often pays back through lower downtime and better support, which is exactly where buying a cherry picker with a local warranty and a national parts network has the edge over a grey import.

Pricing for cherry pickers at MCM Group starts from R 425 000 excl. VAT, with the final figure depending on configuration, attachments and any current specials. Request a quote on any model for an up-to-date, all-in price including VAT and delivery to your area.

MCM cherry pickers are trailer-mounted towable boom lifts (also called elevated work platforms) that provide safe access to heights for maintenance, construction, painting, electrical work, tree trimming and signage installation. They offer a stable, controlled platform that eliminates the risks associated with ladders and scaffolding. MCM Group supplies the TCP range of cherry pickers / trailer-mounted towable boom lifts for sale in South Africa: seven articulated models from 12 m to 24 m working height, each with a 200 kg platform on a towable trailer chassis. Our cherry pickers are built for safety, reliability and ease of operation. All cherry pickers from MCM Group come with local warranty, parts availability and after-sales support from our branches in Cape Town, George, Gauteng and Bloemfontein. Browse the range below or contact us for a quote. In South Africa, cherry pickers (boom lifts) are commonly used for telecommunications tower maintenance, overhead power line inspection, building façade cleaning and repair, tree felling at height and stadium lighting maintenance. Their ability to position a worker precisely at any point within their outreach arc — over obstacles, across rooflines and behind parapets — makes them far more versatile than scaffolding or scissor lifts for access work on complex structures. Boom lifts are classified as straight-boom (telescopic) or articulated. Straight-boom models extend in a straight line, achieving the greatest horizontal outreach for their size. Articulating boom lifts have a jointed arm that can go up-and-over obstacles — ideal for accessing areas beneath overhangs, through tree canopies or around building features that block a straight-boom reach. Working height for MCM Group cherry pickers ranges from 12 to 24 metres depending on the model. Every model has a 200 kg platform capacity, enough for one or two workers with tools. Working radius (the horizontal distance from the base to the platform) ranges from 5.5 m (TCP10) to 12 m (TCP22). Contact our branches in Cape Town, George, Gauteng or Bloemfontein for a model recommendation based on your required height, outreach and site access constraints.
