Is your MEWP broken and in need of repair, not working to its full potential, or in need of a service? It can be detrimental to the success of your business if your MEWP or mobile elevated work platform breaks down, and it is important to get it back up and running as soon as possible so that you can continue with your daily operations. 

It’s a legal requirement to have a “Report of Thorough Examination” (GA1) carried out every six months by a qualified engineer and this can help to prevent downtime. Should you experience any problems with your MEWP in between inspections, instead of attempting to fix or repair your MEWP on your own, it is best to speak to the experts. This is where Cherry Picker can help. We specialise in providing repairs, maintenance, servicing and certification for MEWPs to ensure that your business operations don’t suffer and your team can benefit as usual. 

We have put together a complete guide to MEWP repairs and maintenance services. We are Ireland’s leading supplier of access platform lifts and machinery, offering our machinery and equipment for sales and hire to meet our customer’s requirements.

Safety and productivity are the two most important objectives in any warehouse environment. If you’re an owner of a warehouse looking to increase overall health and safety, and simultaneously become more efficient, then one of the best choices you can make is to invest in stackers. Pallet stackers can upgrade your warehouse safety and help your staff become more productive in the short and long term.

Below, the team at Cherry Picker looks at why you must utilise pallet stackers in your warehouse – whether you’re a manufacturer, importer, wholesaler or retailer. Read on to learn more, and if you’d like to find out more about our stackers and lifting equipment – please contact the Cherry Picker team via the details at the bottom. 

The Various Types of Stackers Available

Stackers come in many different forms, so there is plenty of choice available when you’re looking for a solution for your specific application. At Cherry Picker, we can provide both light duty and heavy-duty solutions, depending on your individual stacking needs and requirements. We offer bespoke stackers which are tailored to your warehouse setting, and will substantially increase the level of safety in your space. Whether you require manual stackers or semi electric stackers, Cherry Picker can help you find the optimal solution.

Alongside this, we can also provide bespoke solutions to clients who have minimal and limited ground space. Our team can build custom-designed lifting equipment which is adapted and suited to your lack of space. Furthermore, we can also provide wide straddle units for environments where materials are being lifted from closed-ended pallets. To discuss our pallet stackers – please get in touch with us today. 

Reasons to Use Pallet Stackers

The biggest reason to use stackers is safety. When you’re operating in a warehouse environment and transporting heavy loads of packaging to and from storage, it’s imperative that this is performed with the utmost level of safety and care. There are risks associated with warehouse transportation, and it’s vital that these are minimised to protect all staff and customers. 

Choosing the right pallet stacker will allow you to meet all health and safety regulations and achieve necessary safety certifications. It will reduce risks for employees and contribute to a more safe, secure and efficient workplace. Another huge benefit of stackers is that they’ll give you productivity and efficiency gains, speeding up transportation and enabling you to operate quicker. You’ll be able to achieve faster turnaround times, and in turn, your warehouse will run more smoothly and efficiently. 

All in all, pallet stackers are a superb option for your warehouse environment. They’ll make lifting, moving and handling all your palletised materials a complete dream. As they don’t take up considerable amounts of physical space, they can be manoeuvred into a diverse array of scenarios – making them a brilliant piece of equipment to have at your disposal. They’re also really cost-effective, they don’t require a large initial investment or any significant maintenance, so they’re a smart solution to go for.

Lifting equipment is designed to handle heavyweight and delicate goods with the utmost care and precision. Whether you’re working in an industrial environment or an office-based one, it’s essential that you use lifting equipment if you’re looking to move and handle large and fragile items. Ultimately, the right lifting equipment will improve the safety of employees by removing manual handling and it also has the added benefit of increasing efficiency.

Below, the Cherry Picker team has written an informative post that explores the various types of lifting equipment that can be used. Read on to learn more about, and if you’d like to make an inquiry about our lifting equipment of the highest quality, please contact us via the details below. 

Stackers

Stackers are typically used in warehouse environments where lots of heavy items need to be safely lifted to and from storage areas. They come in both light duty and heavy duty solutions, so whatever your individual stacking needs, the exact stacker is available. 

All in all, stackers maximise safety and productivity, reducing injuries and damage in commercial and industrial settings. Stackers can also be custom-designed to suit environments where ground space is particularly limited. 

Goods Lifts

Goods lifts are designed to make it easier to move and transfer goods from a ground floor to a mezzanine floor, or second floor. These types of lifts come in various sizes ranging from smaller goods lifts to larger mezzanine goods lifts that are capable of lifting much heavier items. 

In addition to this, mesh cages can be fitted to goods lifts to prevent materials from falling and causing damage during the lifting process. If you’re moving items up to the mezzanine floor, a goods lift can be modified to provide greater protection and safety. 

Scissor Lift Tables

Scissor lift tables are ideal for positioning loads at different locations and heights. They’re a popular type of aerial platform lift that is commonly used in manufacturing and industrial environments. Using a mobile scissor lift table will optimise safety and productivity in your workspace, as your workers will be able to move and lift at various heights – with ease. 

Scissor lift tables come in an array of sizes from smaller options to larger options. Furthermore, if extra safety is required, mesh cages or bellows can be installed underneath the platform to lower the risk of personal injuries or damage. 

Server Lifting

Server lifts are designed to be used by clients working in data centre environments. In essence, these types of lifts are used to improve on-site safety and productivity when individuals are working with heavy and valuable server modules. 

If you need to regularly transfer server modules in and out of your storage racking, then a server lift is a necessity. Roller platforms can also be added to server lifts to ensure smoother user experience, and to decrease the impact on the material being lifted.

Aerial platforms, also commonly referred to as cherry pickers or mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs), are used in a broad range of industries to enable individuals and equipment to temporarily access areas that are inaccessible – due to height. From construction sites to office buildings, aerial platforms have a number of applications. 

In this post, the Cherry Picker team takes a look at four common applications of aerial platforms. Read below to learn more about aerial platform hire, and if you’d like to make an inquiry into hiring one of Cherry Picker’s boom lifts or scissor lifts, then please do not hesitate to get in touch with us today. You can reach us by phone on 0818 228 229, to speak with one of our experts.

Construction

Aerial platforms are commonly used in the construction industry by companies of all sizes and scales. Whether it’s a large-scale commercial construction project, or a smaller-scale residential build, hiring an aerial platform is a smart choice. It will allow you to reach big heights, which is especially important if you are working on a tall building development. If you’re working up high, having an aerial lift will ensure that your workers can operate smoothly and comfortably, with better safety and security too. 

Maintenance

The maintenance industry is another sector that uses aerial platforms on a regular basis. Again, this is because of the impressive ease at which an aerial platform allows individuals and equipment to reach large heights. Specific applications in maintenance include ship maintenance, and at large industrial plants where maintenance workers need to access high locations for example, an annual safety inspection or repair job. If your maintenance company needs reliability, then an aerial platform from Cherry Picker is a great choice. 

Cleaning

What’s more, aerial platforms are popular in the cleaning industry. Many cleaning companies hire an aerial platform to make their external and internal cleaning easier. Whether it’s cleaning windows on a high-rise building, cleaning a statue, or accessing a roof to clean, an aerial platform can be utilised in a myriad of ways by a cleaning company. 

Painting

Finally, a fourth industry where aerial platforms are highly popular is the painting industry. Painting companies usually need to access high parts of buildings, to carefully oversee painting at awkward heights and levels. An aerial lift will provide optimum safety, reliability and efficiency – helping painters to seamlessly paint high walls and ensure a high-quality painting finish.
