Our compact tracked spider lifts are designed for restricted access and can pass through standard garden gates and doorways. The CTE Traccess 170 has an 800mm transit width, and our wider spider lifts fit openings as narrow as 900mm. Send us the access width and we will confirm the right machine.

Modern access equipment covering different heights, outreach requirements and site conditions — from 51m truck mounts to compact spider lifts.
Choosing the right access equipment is about more than picking the machine with the highest working height. When customers approach us for cherry picker hire in Essex, the first thing we look at is the whole site: how far the platform needs to reach horizontally, how wide the access route is, and what the ground can safely support.
A 51m truck mount is unbeatable on an open industrial yard, but a compact tracked spider lift is the right answer for a rear garden, an atrium or a heritage floor. Overhead obstacles, public highways, traffic management, forecast wind speeds, machine weight and hire duration all shape the recommendation — which is why our access hire in Essex always starts with a conversation or a site survey.
The height you actually need to reach, including the operator's reach above the platform.
How far the platform must extend from where the machine can be positioned.
Gates, doorways and passageways the machine must pass through to reach the work.
Soft ground, paving, slopes and basements all affect outrigger loading and machine choice.
Trees, cables and building features that limit boom movement.
Roadside work may need council permits and traffic management.
Wind speed limits and forecast conditions on the day of hire.
Total weight, footprint and the space needed to set up safely.
Half-day, full-day or multi-day hire affects the best logistics and machine choice.
Powered access and MEWP hire in Essex done properly means matching the machine to all of the above — not just the tallest number on the spec sheet.
We provide professional cherry picker and powered access hire throughout Essex, supporting residential, commercial and industrial projects with reliable equipment, experienced operators and rapid response.
