MEWP & Operator Hire in The North West & North Wales
Safe Access Solutions by Frodsham Tree Solutions
Some tree surgeries and tree care cannot be carried out safely from the ground or by climbing. Whether the tree is storm-damaged, structurally compromised or located in a complex position, elevated access becomes essential. In these situations, a MEWP (Mobile Elevated Work Platform) provides the safest and most controlled way to work at height.
At Frodsham Tree Solutions, we offer MEWP hire with a qualified operator across The North West & North Wales. For insurance and safety reasons, we do not hire MEWPs without an operator. Every hire includes a trained, experienced and insured professional to ensure the equipment is used correctly and the work is completed to the highest standard of care.
Why Choose a MEWP with Operator?
Tree work at height carries significant risks, especially when dealing with weakened, storm-damaged or diseased trees. Using a MEWP without the required training or certification can put people and property at risk, and insurance typically does not cover unaccompanied MEWP hire for arboriculture.
By providing a qualified operator with the MEWP, we ensure:
• Safe positioning and movement of the platform
• Compliance with industry standards and insurance requirements
• Correct handling around buildings, utilities and confined spaces
• Comfortable access to complex or high-risk sections of the tree
• A secure and stable working environment for aerial arborists
This approach protects you, your property and the wider public while allowing our team to work with precision at height.
When MEWP Access Is the Best Option
MEWP access is ideal when climbing is unsafe or impractical, including:
• Trees with storm or wind damage
• Trees with decay or structural weakness
• Trees overhanging buildings, greenhouses or utilities
• Sites with restricted climbing access
• Emergency tree surgery situations
• Large dismantling operations requiring high-level control
• Work near roadways or public footpaths
In these scenarios, a MEWP offers a stable, controlled vantage point and significantly improves safety for both arborists and the surrounding environment.
Professional, Insured Operators
All MEWP hire includes a trained and insured operator who:
• Holds the required access platform credentials
• Understands arboricultural best practice
• Has experience navigating complex tree structures
• Works closely with our climbing arborists or ground crew
• Ensures safe deployment, elevation and manoeuvring of the equipment
Your safety and the safe operation of the MEWP depend on professional handling, which is why operator inclusion is essential.
