Are you planning to hire a knuckle boom EWP but are unsure how to? Don’t worry; the process is easy. It involves a few steps and some information from you about the job. This guide will help you hire a knuckle boom EWP seamlessly.
The knuckle boom EWP (also known as a cherry picker, telescopic handler or knuckle boom) is used to carry out work at a height that is otherwise difficult to reach areas such as electrical work, roof restoration, warehousing services, etc.
Before hiring a Knuckle boom EWP
Before you hire a knuckle boom EWP, you need to be able to provide information on which size and type of boom lift you need for your project. Firstly, how much work it will be doing? The type of lift you need for electrical work is different from the type of lift you need to restore a roof. Sharing your project details will help your boom lift hire company decide what size boom lift you need. Don’t forget to consider different height limitations, such as powerlines, roofs and eaves, and trees. Don't forget widths as well - will the boom lift have to fit into a narrow space? Sometimes you need to hire a smaller knuckle boom lift than normal just so it can fit.
How to hire a knuckle boom EWP
1. Choose your project location
The first step to hiring a knuckle boom EWP is deciding on the location of the project. The location is essential to determine the final pricing. Extra movement can cost you extra charges as the machine operator will have to factor in a long workday and use more fuel.

3. Identify if you need an operator
When you’re hiring a knuckle boom EWP, one of the first questions companies ask is if you need your boom lift wet-hired (with an operator) or dry-hired (just the machine). Hiring a boom lift with an operator is more expensive as you’re paying for the operator's time and expertise.
