The Smart, Safe & Hassle-Free Alternative to Scaffolding & Traditional MEWPs

   
 

When working at height, safety, accessibility, and efficiency are key. At Spider Platform Hire, we specialise in providing fully operated spider lift hire services to businesses, contractors, and councils across Yorkshire and the North of England. Our tracked spider platforms are lightweight, compact, and versatile, making them the ideal choice for jobs in confined spaces, delicate indoor environments, or uneven outdoor terrain.

Unlike traditional scissor lifts, cherry pickers, or scaffolding, our spider lifts provide exceptional reach and stability while minimising disruption. Their compact design allows them to fit through narrow doorways, gates, and tight access areas, making them ideal for locations where conventional access equipment simply won’t work. Whether you’re a facilities manager, tree surgeon, roofing contractor, or property maintenance professional, our spider platforms will get you where you need to be quickly, safely, and efficiently.

Testimonials

Cannot recommend Dom and SPH enough. The time saved by having an operator that knew where I needed to be and when is unreal. If I had anyone else or if I had to instruct the operator while cutting I wouldn’t have been able to get this mature Beech tree done in one day. A skilled operator that brings a great bit of kit and also an experienced perspective on complex jobs.

  • What is a spider platform and why should I consider using one?
    A spider platform is a compact, tracked access solution designed for working at height in confined or challenging spaces. Unlike traditional scaffolding or cherry pickers, our fully operated spider lifts can navigate narrow doorways, uneven terrain, and delicate surfaces—making them ideal for tree surgery, roofing, property maintenance, and more.
  • How does operated hire differ from self-hire?
    With our operated hire service, you don’t need to worry about training or operating the equipment yourself. Our experienced and fully certified operators handle everything from setup to dismantling, ensuring the lift is used safely and efficiently. This allows you to focus solely on your project while we take care of the technical details.
  • What working height and outreach do your spider lifts offer?
    Our range includes models like the Spider 22.10 and Spider 20.95, offering working heights of up to 22m and outreach distances of up to 10m and 9.5m respectively. These specifications ensure that you have the right tool for accessing high or difficult-to-reach areas safely.
  • Are your spider platforms safe for indoor use?
    Yes. Our spider lifts are designed with non-marking tracks and low ground pressure, making them ideal for indoor applications. Whether it’s for window cleaning, lighting maintenance, or other indoor tasks, our platforms provide a safe and stable work environment without damaging floors or surfaces.
  • How quickly can you deliver and set up a spider lift?
    We pride ourselves on fast, reliable service. Once you contact us with your project details, our team will recommend the best spider lift for your needs, deliver it promptly, and handle the setup—often within minutes. This rapid deployment helps keep your project on schedule and minimizes downtime.
