Chinese manufacturer Dingli has launched two new narrow aisle articulated electric boom lifts, the 44ft BA15NE and 49ft BA17NE, with maximum working heights of 15.5 and 17 metres respectively.
Both models have an overall width of 1.5 metres, and a transport length with jib tucked of 5.06 metres, with an overall height just over two metres. Total weight is 7,580kg on the BA15 and 7,950kg for the BA17.
The new Dingli BA17NE
Both units employ a classic sigma type dual riser, two section telescopic boom and jib with 130 degrees of articulation. Outreach is 9.7 metres on both, at an up & over clearance height of 5.5 metres on the BA15 and seven metres on the BA17 – the difference between the two is the length of the riser arms. They also feature zero tailswing, with the risers fully contained within the width of the machine width when they are fully raised. Maximum unrestricted platform capacity is 225kg.
Working outreach is 9.7m
While the standard unit is two wheel drive and steer as you might expect we understand that four wheel drive and steer will be available as an option.
Power comes from a 48 volt 300Ah battery pack, which combined with AC electric motors allows the unit to work at least a full shift, and in most applications considerably longer.
Vertikal Comment
Since publishing this item a good few people have said that they are very close to Niftylifts HR15N and HR17N models, so we have done a comparison and sure enough the performance is almost exactly the same. However, the Niftys are slightly more compact and lighter in weight as the comparison below shows.

Good to see the Niftys beat them.

Looks very HR15-ish.

Always wondered what Dingli stood for, but now I know it was not Dignity.
