About Cherry Picker from MCM Group+

Cherry pickers for sale in South Africa

MCM Group stocks 6 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cherry Pickers

What is a cherry picker?
A cherry picker (also called a boom lift or elevated work platform) is a hydraulic lifting machine with a platform or bucket that raises workers to height for tasks like tree trimming, electrical work, painting, and building maintenance.
How high can a cherry picker reach?
MCM cherry pickers offer working heights ranging from 12 metres to over 20 metres depending on the model. The right height depends on your specific application and access requirements.
Do I need a licence to operate a cherry picker in South Africa?
Yes, operators of cherry pickers and elevated work platforms in South Africa must hold a valid certificate of competency as required by the Occupational Health and Safety Act. MCM recommends all operators complete accredited training before use.
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 40+ metres depending on the model. Platform capacity typically ranges from 200 to 450 kg — enough for two operators with tools and materials on most models. Outreach (the horizontal distance from the base to the platform) ranges from 6 to 20+ metres on articulating boom lifts. All MCM Group cherry pickers meet SANS/OHS Act requirements for working-at-height equipment. Contact our branches in Cape Town, George, Gauteng or Bloemfontein for a model recommendation based on your required height, outreach and site access constraints.
