What is Cherry Picker Training?
Training for boom-type Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs). Essential for reaching over obstacles and working at height.
3b Mobile Boom
The core IPAF category for cherry pickers. Covers self-propelled booms that can be driven while elevated. Learn articulation, outreach, and safe driving.
1b Static Boom
For vehicle-mounted or trailer-mounted cherry pickers that use outriggers. Often required for highways, tree surgery, and facilities management.
Harness Awareness
Unlike scissor lifts, a full body harness with an adjustable restraint lanyard is mandatory in all boom type platforms. This module is included.
Emergency Rescue
Learn critical ground controls and emergency lowering procedures to rescue an operator stuck at height.
Types of Cherry Pickers
We train you on the specific boom lifts you will encounter on site.
Z-Boom
Articulated Boom

Telescopic Boom
Straight boom extending directly out. Offers maximum outreach distance for working at extreme height.

Why Use a Cherry Picker?
Understanding the unique capabilities of boom lifts.
Obstacle Clearance
Unlike scissor lifts which go straight up, booms can reach over walls, machinery, or structural steelwork to access difficult areas.
Height & Reach
Telescopic booms provide significant horizontal outreach, allowing operators to work at height without being positioned directly underneath the job.
Catapult Effect
Our training specifically covers the ‘catapult effect’ – a major risk in booms – ensuring operators know why harnesses are life-saving in this machine type.
Student Reviews
“I was nervous about the height of the boom lift, but the instructor was patient and clear. I now feel fully confident operating the machine.”
“The harness training part was an eye-opener. I didn’t realize how important the correct lanyard length was until this course.”
“Great day. We covered both 3a and 3b, but the boom section was definitely the highlight. Good machines to learn on.”
Boom Training FAQ
Common questions about cherry picker courses.
Do I need a harness for a cherry picker?
Yes. It is IPAF and HSE best practice to wear a full body harness with a short, adjustable restraint lanyard in all boom-type platforms.
How high can I go with this license?
The 3b license covers you for Mobile Booms of any height. However, you should always have a familiarisation session if moving to a much larger machine than you trained on.
Is it windy up there?
Outdoor booms are rated for wind (usually up to 12.5 m/s). Our training covers how to use an anemometer and check wind ratings on the machine data plate.
Can I add Scissor Lift (3a) to this?
Yes, we highly recommend the 3a & 3b Combo course. It covers both machine types in a single day and is much more cost-effective.
