When buying a used vehicle-mounted  aerial work platforms, you need to make sure that the equipment is 100% operational – check that the relevant LOLER testing certificates are in place. Why are these commercial vehicles called cherry pickers? Well, it was actually to pick cherries – not in the UK, but in the USA – where they don’t call them cherry pickers any more. The Americans prefer the term ‘Vehicle mounted aerial work platform’. Cherry Picker just sounds better.
