Long-term hire
Some machines carry a published long-term rate. Where one applies in this category it is named below, with its minimum hire period. Shorter hires are quoted for your hire period.
A scissor lift raises a full platform straight up, so two people and their materials work at height with room to move. It is the cheapest way to reach a ceiling, a service run or a facade when the work sits directly above the machine. Our range covers finished slab indoors and unsealed ground outdoors.
Measured across the machines currently available for hire in this category. Where a specification is not recorded we leave it out rather than estimate it.
Counted from the machines listed below, each one currently available to hire.
Platform height plus about 2 m for a person on the platform. Indicative, and not a safe working limit.
Measured across the machine. Add a working clearance before comparing it to an opening.
People, tools and materials together, as rated by the manufacturer.
The platform floor at full elevation. The feet figure in a machine name is this one.
What the floor, the ground and the trailer have to carry. Figures available for 28 of 29 machines.
Downloadable from each machine page for your SWMS.
A starting figure so you can budget before you enquire. The quote is still priced on the job, because delivery suburb, hire duration and availability all move it.
Excludes GST
The figures customers decide on, side by side. A cell reading "Ask us" means the specification is not recorded for that machine, so we confirm it from the manufacturer sheet rather than print an estimate.

The seven questions from every machine page, side by side, each answered from that machine’s own verified specification. 1 figure is still to confirm with the hire team.

A Confirm mark means the decisive figure is not on that record. Open the machine for the full seven-question panel and its manufacturer sheet; we never guess a specification.
The three things that decide whether a machine can actually do your job, answered before you get to the quote form.
Electric machines run on non marking tyres and need a sound, level surface: structural slab, sealed hardstand or smooth compacted ground. Diesel rough terrain machines carry lugged tyres and ground clearance for site dirt, gravel and grades within their rating. Tracked machines spread their weight on rubber tracks for uneven ground, dirt and light mud, and level themselves on a slope: some on outriggers while parked, the Athena models on their tracks. Ground still has to be checked first.
The controlling figure is the machine width against the tightest point on the route in, not the width of the work area. Measure the narrowest gate, doorway or corridor and tell us that number. Ramps, thresholds, lift dimensions and floor loading matter as much as the opening.
Scissor lifts and vertical mast lifts are not boom type platforms, so no High Risk Work Licence applies to them in NSW at any height. Machines in this category reach 6.5 to 17.98 metres working height, and that does not change the answer.
Sites normally require recognised EWP operator training, commonly asked for as a Yellow Card, together with a site induction. The employer is responsible for verifying competency on the specific machine.
We can supply the machine specification sheet and risk assessment for your SWMS, and arrange a licensed operator with the machine if you would rather not operate it yourself.
Our depot is at Berkshire Park in Western Sydney and we deliver across Sydney and throughout NSW. Delivery is quoted with the hire, by suburb, access and the transport the machine needs, so you see one figure rather than a surprise on the invoice.
Tell us the tightest access width and whether a tilt tray can reach a firm, level unloading point.
No machine in this category is currently approved for depot pickup. Approval needs a verified machine weight and a trailer rated to carry it, and where we do not hold both we deliver on our own truck instead of letting a customer find out on the ramp.
We deliver from one depot at Berkshire Park in Western Sydney, so most Sydney suburbs are a single run for us rather than a transfer between branches.
We deliver from one depot at Berkshire Park in Western Sydney. Enter your suburb or postcode and we will tell you where you stand before you ask for a quote.
Where we deliver across Sydney and NSW Boom lift and cherry picker hire
Written by the people who deliver and service these machines.
Answer a few quick questions about the job, the height, the ground and the tightest opening. We match it against the recorded specifications of every machine we can verify, and show you what fits and what does not.
Answered from the recorded specifications of the machines above and from the rules that apply in NSW, not from a general article.
Working height across the scissor lifts we hire is 6.5 to 17.98 metres. Working height is where your hands reach, which is about two metres above the platform floor. Platform height is the deck itself, and it is the smaller figure in every specification.
Recorded machine width runs from 0.76 m to 2.3 m. The narrowest machine here clears a standard 0.82 m (820 mm) doorway, and we confirm it against the actual opening you measure. Measure the clear opening rather than the door frame, and tell us the tightest point on the whole route in.
Between 880 kg and 8,045 kg for 28 of 29 machines here; the others are not yet recorded. Weight decides two things: whether the floor or ground carries the machine, and what has to be on site to unload it. Ask us for the figure for a specific machine if a slab rating or a suspended floor is involved.
Platform capacity is 227 kg to 680 kg, and that figure includes the people on the platform as well as their tools and materials. Where a machine has a deck extension, the capacity on the extension is lower than the capacity on the main deck.
Not in this category. Pickup is only approved where we hold a verified machine weight and a trailer rated to carry it, and no machine here currently meets both. These are delivered on our own truck, with delivery quoted by suburb.
