If you’ve ever wondered what a modern, compact cherry picker is truly capable of, the Platform Basket Spider 2095 might just surprise you. This hybrid-powered tracked machine brings together impressive height, smart engineering, and flexibility all wrapped up in a design that can fit through a garden gate.
In this week’s video, I take a closer look at the 2095’s specifications and key features, giving you a detailed rundown of what makes this model one of the most capable compact cherry pickers on the market.

Compact Power and Big Reach
The Spider 2095 offers a maximum working height of 20 metres with an outreach of up to 9.5 metres, depending on basket load. That’s enough reach to handle roof surveys, tree work, or maintenance on tall buildings with ease.
Despite its capabilities, the unit weighs just under three tonnes and can fit through gaps as narrow as 79 centimetres wide, meaning it’ll roll straight through a standard garden gate. When stowed, it measures under 2 metres tall and around 5 metres long, making transport and storage refreshingly simple.
Hybrid Power and Smooth Control
The Spider 2095 runs on non-marking rubber tracks, so it’s gentle on surfaces like patios, lawns, and indoor floors. Power comes from a dual system, an electric motor for quiet, emission-free indoor work and a Kabuto diesel engine for more demanding outdoor jobs.
The entire machine can be operated via remote control, giving full visibility while positioning or manoeuvring. Its boom system features a telescopic main boom, riser boom, and articulated fly jib, offering incredible flexibility to reach up and over obstacles like roof ridges and tree canopies.
All hydraulic lines and chains are housed internally, reducing the risk of snagging or damage, a great touch when working in confined or wooded areas.
Spacious Basket and Smart Design
The two-man basket feels roomy and practical, with a quick-release system that lets you detach it easily and wheel it around on its built-in transport wheels. It rotates 180°, and the boom itself has a wide slewing range to cover large working areas without repositioning the whole machine.
Controls are fully proportional hydraulic, meaning smooth and precise movements both from the basket and ground controls. A return-to-home button automatically retracts the lift to its base position, handy at the end of the job and there’s even a horn, emergency stop, and ground-level emergency lowering system for safety.
Quick Setup and Rock-Solid Stability
The 2095’s outriggers adjust independently for perfect balance on uneven ground, and the auto-levelling system ensures the machine is stable before operation. The outriggers extend and retract faster than previous models, cutting down setup time and getting you working quicker.
The solid steel construction feels strong and stable, even when fully extended with two people in the basket. It’s confidence-inspiring to operate especially when you’re working at full height.
Easy to Transport and Built for Performance
For such a capable machine, the Spider 2095 is surprisingly easy to move. It’s towable behind a standard 3.5-tonne pickup or van, making it a great choice for contractors and operators who need professional reach without the bulk of a van-mounted lift.
It’s a real all-rounder perfect for roofing, tree work, and property maintenance combining height, reach, and compact design into one impressive package.
