Hirst said: “We strive to keep the Horizon fleet of machines amongst the youngest in the industry, this helps keep our customers happy by limiting breakdowns and also allows is to offer machines on the very cutting edge of technology. These Nifty HR21’s not only have the SiOP’s operator protection system but also the hybrid power unit and will help us obtain a better return than a ‘me too’ product”.

Niftylift’s managing director John Keely added: “Its obvious to us at Niftylift that the carbon footprint will become increasingly important to the construction industry not only here in England worldwide. Its great to see that company like Horizon can also see where the market is going.”
