At Spider Platform Hire, we understand the challenges of tree work because our owner is a former arborist. We know that safe, reliable access is crucial for working efficiently at height, which is why we provide specialist arborist platform hire with trained operators.
Our spider lifts are designed to navigate tight access areas, rough terrain, and delicate ground surfaces, making them the ideal solution for tree surgery, pruning, felling, and maintenance.
Why Our Spider Lifts Are Perfect for Arborists
• Designed for Tree Work – Our lifts provide access to canopies, overhanging branches, and dense foliage, even in restricted spaces.
• Compact & Lightweight – Easily manoeuvre through narrow gateways, woodland, and gardens with minimal impact.
• Low Ground Pressure – Avoid damage to lawns, tree roots, and soft ground thanks to specialist tracked movement.
• Stable on Uneven Terrain – Our platforms handle hillsides, embankments, and rough ground, where traditional MEWPs struggle.
• Fully Operated Hire – No need to worry about setup or positioning—our trained operators ensure maximum safety and efficiency so you can focus on the job.
Trusted by Professional Tree Surgeons
We work with arborists, tree surgeons, estate managers, local authorities, and commercial landowners who need reliable platform hire for:
• Tree pruning and crown reductions
• Sectional tree dismantling and felling
• Site clearance and forestry work
• Emergency storm damage response
• Hedge and canopy trimming at height
Why Operated Hire?
Having worked in the tree surgery industry, we know that using the right equipment correctly is essential for safety and efficiency. Self-hire can be risky, time-consuming, and costly if not used correctly. That’s why we provide fully operated hire—our trained operators take care of setup, positioning, and lift operation, allowing you to focus entirely on tree work without worrying about access.
