Spider Lift Hire

Spider MEWP Hire From Hire Safe Solutions

Our highly maintained in-house fleet of spider lifts are powerful MEWPs that are ideal for uneven terrain and narrow areas where access is limited. Fitted with non-marking tracks as standard, they perform exceptionally well on challenging terrain or environments where flooring may be damaged by weight, such as grass pitches or showroom floors. When in position, four hydraulic outriggers extend from the spider lift, allowing it to evenly distribute its weight across the ground, minimising surface pressure.

Thanks to their versatile design, spider lift MEWP hire is suitable for a range of indoor and outdoor applications in construction, facilities management, arboriculture and property maintenance. Spider lifts have a thin profile by design, which allows them to work in tighter areas and enter buildings where other platforms may not. Their 360-degree rotation further enhances their ability to perform work in smaller areas.

Available in lithium-powered electric, dual-fuel and hybrid power options, our spider lifts for hire feature compact designs to meet various challenging access requirements, all sharing reliable, stable lifting and great manoeuvrability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do spider lifts work?

Spider lifts use a tracked crawler chassis to travel over uneven ground and through narrow access points before deploying stabiliser legs to create a secure working platform. Once positioned, the articulated boom extends to provide safe access at height while maintaining stability on challenging terrain.

What are spider lifts used for?

Spider lifts are commonly used for tree surgery, building maintenance, roofing, glazing, electrical work, telecommunications, inspections and high-level cleaning. Their tracked design makes them particularly suitable for rough or uneven terrain, as well as sites with restricted access where larger powered access platforms can’t operate safely.

How high can a spider lift reach?

Spider lifts offer both great working height and maximum outreach. Hire Safe Solutions has a fleet of spider lift MEWPs for hire that have working heights ranging between 10m and 42m. Our standout models include the Teupen Leo 39GT Plus which provides the highest maximum outreach of 23.3m, classed as part of our Super MEWPs to hire.

Do I need training to operate a spider lift?

Before hiring a spider lift, employers need to ensure operators complete an IPAF 1b Static Boom training course to become certified. Although having a license is not a legal requirement, completing training to ensure safety and responsible usage is a legal requirement under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974. Hire Safe Solutions offers training courses across the UK to ensure your commitment to safety is upheld and your operators are competent to use your hired spider lifts.

Can I hire a spider boom lift with an operator?

Yes, we can supply trained operators with your spider lift hire. Due to their nature, the applications in which spider lifts are used often pose many obstacles for an inexperienced operator. Hiring a trained operator provides peace of mind that work will be carried out safely and efficiently even if unexpected challenges arise, allowing you to focus entirely on the task at hand. If we can, we will support you in any way we can with our range of services.
