Want to hire a boom lift, but don’t know how much it costs? In this article, we’ll discuss whether there’s a standard estimated hire cost, the factors to consider and where to go.
How Much Can You Expect to Pay for a Boom Lift Hire?
Like cherry picker hire, boom lift hire costs can vary depending on a number of different factors. On average, you can expect to pay a couple of hundred dollars per day, though you may find this differs from place to place.
What Factors Do You Need to Consider When Estimating the Price You’ll Pay for Boom Lift Hire?
There are a number of factors that influence the hire price of your boom lift. Here, we’ll break them down, and discuss why they’re so important.
Types of Boom Lifts
type of boom lift you require will depend on the kind of work your team is completing, the height capacity and even the anticipated weight expected on the platform.
This will influence the cost you can expect to pay when hiring from a reputable company like ours.
Height & Levels
As we said, the height and levels you want to reach will influence the type of boom lift required to complete the job and by extension, the estimated cost.
For instance, if you only need to work at 20m, it may cost you less than if you needed a higher reach.
Duration & Time
Many companies estimate your potential cost by the amount of hours you’ll need it. As such, a machine you require for only a couple of hours will likely be less than one you need for a day or even a week.
Location
Where you need the cherry picker to be delivered is something hire companies have to consider when estimating the cost of providing you the service. Many companies only provide services in a certain area – e.g. North Brisbane or Brisbane metro – so charge extra to hire to places outside this location.
Access
Is our team able to get to your site easily, or are there a few obstacles they need to get over?
Maybe the ground is uneven or there’s a gate blocking the driveway. This may influence the projected cost of your hire services and something you need to factor in.
Weight
Different types of boom lifts are suited to different types of work and hold different weight capacities.
As such, you need to be aware of your projected weight capacity before you hire the machinery as it helps us get an idea of the kind of boom lift you require.
Licensed Operator
Whether you need a licensed operator to operate the machinery is also another consideration that may affect cost.
Luckily, when you choose to work with Performance Tower Hire, this is not something you need to worry about, as all our machinery comes equipped with a qualified staff member to take care of all operations.
