Cherry pickers and boom lifts for hire in Malaysia

Updated 4 November 2026

Approximately, according to rental companies' websites in November 2026, a cherry picker hire starts at about RM 400 a day, RM 1,500 a week or RM 4,000 a month, and goes up to about RM 5,500 a day and RM 45,000 a month for the largest units. For a price for your site, send a request on BlaBlaPrice: its AI asks for the lift height, the dates and the access, then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Malaysia.

Operator training and licence

Operating a cherry picker needs trained staff. Malaysian training providers quote costs that depend on group size and location for mobile elevating work platforms (MEWP). For comparison, forklift operator courses in Malaysia cost about RM 400 to RM 1,500 per course, depending on the level, and a Green Card registration is charged separately. Ask the rental company whether the hire includes an operator and who holds the licence on site.

Season and wet weather

The climate is hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season, so rain and storms are a real planning point for outdoor work at height. Book the hire for a dry spell where you can, and ask the company what it does about wind or wet ground. Heavy machines on soft ground need a firm base, so check site access before the date.

Units, delivery and how it is priced

Lift height is given in metres, as working height and outreach, so ask for both. Rental is priced per day, per week or per month, and a monthly rate works out cheaper per day than a daily rate. Write the site address in the request, including the city, and ask whether delivery to Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam, George Town, Johor Bahru or Ipoh is included.

What to write in your request

Say what the lift is for, the working height you need in metres, the platform type, the start date and the number of days or months, the site address and its access, such as narrow streets or a ground floor. State whether you need a monthly rent or a short hire, so that companies can quote the right rate.
