MEWP Access Work
MEWP Access Work in Horncastle
Platform access for tall or awkward trees where climbing isn't the safest or most practical way in.
Some trees are better reached by platform than by rope - particularly tall specimens, isolated trees with nothing to rig from, or jobs where climbing would simply take longer than it needs to. We assess access to the site beforehand to make sure a MEWP can get where it needs to.
Once in position, the platform lets us work at height with both hands free, which speeds up jobs like crown reduction or deadwooding on larger trees.
What's included

Our platforms
New Leaf Arb runs a CMC S23 tracked spider lift with a 23m working height. It folds narrow enough to fit through a standard gateway, tracks across lawns and soft ground, and sets up on outriggers to stay level on uneven sites. For fields, field margins and rough access, the 13m 4x4 MEWP gets where a road-going truck would struggle.
When a platform is the better option
A platform keeps the arborist in a guarded basket rather than on the tree, which matters with dead wood, decay, ash dieback or storm damage. It suits isolated trees with nothing safe to rig from, long conifer hedges that need a straight line, and big reductions where both hands free speeds the job up. Much of the land between Horncastle, Coningsby and the fens gets soft in winter, and tracks spread the weight better than wheels. Ground protection can be laid where needed.

FAQs
MEWP Access Work questions
What does MEWP stand for?
Mobile elevating work platform. In tree work it is a basket on a boom that lifts the arborist into the crown.
Will the spider lift fit into my garden?
It fits through a standard gateway. Access is checked at the site visit, including gate width, slopes and anything overhead.
Will it damage my lawn?
The tracks and outriggers spread the weight, and ground protection mats can be used on soft or fine lawns.
How high can you reach?
The tracked spider lift has a 23m working height, and the 4x4 MEWP reaches 13m.
Is a platform always used?
No. Some trees are better climbed. The method is chosen for each job based on access, the tree and what is underneath.
