Why Use a Cherry Picker for Inspection Work?

Scaffolding is often overkill for a 20-minute inspection, and drones can’t always get the right angles, especially in built-up areas or conservation zones.

Our spider lift gives you:

  • Precise access to hard-to-reach elevations
  • A stable working platform at height
  • Quick setup with minimal disruption
  • A clear line of sight, no guesswork or digital zooms
  • Quiet operation for residential or listed properties

Perfect for:

Built for Safe, Compact Access

Our Teupen Leo 21 GT tracked lift fits through gates, side alleys and tight entrances. It sets up quickly on sloped driveways, gardens or soft ground and creates minimal impact, ideal for residential surveys, schools, historic buildings and commercial properties.

We use non-marking tracks and ground mats where needed, so your inspection won’t leave a trace.

Focus on the Inspection

Every job includes John, our IPAF-certified operator, who’ll handle positioning, setup, and lift movement, leaving you free to take measurements, photos or notes from a secure, elevated platform.

You won’t need to worry about controls or safety, just focus on the job while we manage the access.
