GENERAL INFORMATION

What is the difference between a cherry picker and a spider lift?

Expert Answer

Cherry picker is a general term for a boom-type access platform. A spider lift usually has tracks for travel and outriggers for setup. A wheeled boom or truck mount may be a better choice where access and setup space are generous. Compare both the travel route and the work position.
