Spider boom lifts (also known as spider lifts, tracked spider booms, or compact cherry pickers) are designed to go where conventional booms can’t. Unlike standard boom lifts, spider booms feature articulating arms with multiple hinges, allowing operators to navigate around obstacles with exceptional flexibility.
Their compact footprint and lightweight design make them ideal for narrow alleys, indoor floors, turf, or soft ground. The low ground pressure from non-marking tracks helps distribute the machine’s weight to reduce surface damage, while self-levelling outriggers provide added safety and traction on uneven or sloped terrain (up to 25° on some models).
Spider lifts are also highly portable on-site, making them easy to relocate, and some models can even be transported on a trailer.

Spider boom lifts feature tracked undercarriages and articulating arms with multiple hinges, making them ideal for tight spaces and delicate surfaces. Traditional cherry pickers typically have wheeled bases and fewer articulation points. For comprehensive information about different cherry picker types, check out our complete guide to cherry pickers.
Yes, our tracked spider boom hire equipment is specifically designed for challenging terrain. The rubber tracks provide excellent traction on grass, gravel, and uneven surfaces while distributing weight to prevent ground damage. Most models can handle slopes up to 25 degrees and work effectively on soft ground where wheeled equipment would struggle or sink.
In Victoria and South Australia, operators must hold either an EWP (Elevated Work Platform) license or complete appropriate training before operating spider lifts above 11 metres. We offer comprehensive training services and can arrange certification through approved providers. For work under 11 metres, familiarisation training is typically sufficient, though we always recommend proper instruction for safety and equipment longevity.
Yes. Our electric spider lifts are perfect for indoor projects, with non-marking tracks, low noise operation, and compact dimensions that allow them to fit through a standard doorway.
Our fleet ranges from 50′ spider lifts (approx. 15m working height) through to 80′ spider lifts (26m working height). This makes them suitable for everything from indoor maintenance to large-scale construction projects. If you’re not sure which machine you want, we can help by conducting a free site assessment that will help determine which model is best for your site requirements. Reach out today.
