Standing on a public road or pavement? The municipality must issue a permit first — about 20 working days in Limassol, a few days on side streets in Nicosia. On your own land no permit is needed.
A cherry picker — a boom lift, an aerial platform, a truck-mounted lift — puts one or two people with their tools at a height, over whatever is in the way: a balcony, a tree, a roof edge. On the island it is the machine for facades and render, signs and shopfronts, air-conditioning units on blocks of flats, palm and pine trimming, street lights and cabling, and the odd gutter or roof repair that a ladder cannot reach safely.
Two families are on hire here. The truck-mounted lift drives to the site on its own and comes with its driver, who runs the boom: the usual choice for a one-day job on a street, 16 to 40 m of working height. The self-propelled boom lift — articulating or telescopic, electric or diesel — is delivered on a low-loader and stays for the days you need it, with an operator or with your own trained person; 12 to 22 m is the common range, and the electric ones work indoors on finished floors.
When you book, the form asks for the working height (pick it from the building), where the machine will stand — indoors, on asphalt, on soil — and whether that is a public road. The operator confirms the machine, the day and the price; you pay them directly after the job.
