Nifty launch HR12 4x4

In the late 1980’s Niftylift launched its first self propelled boom lift at SED the Height Rider 10. This quickly developed into the telescopic Height Rider 12 which has gone on to become an extremely popular product, which has stood the test of time.

It has remained popular in spite of only modest design changes over the years, thanks to its light weight, narrow overall width, simple design and first class reliability.

Mostly sold with Bi-Energy - Battery/Diesel power, the only criticism over the years has been its mediocre performance on poor ground. Nifty has now more than rectified this with its new 4x4 model.

The New Niftlift HR12-4x4

The New product carries over all of the proven componentry from the standard HR12, but has a new chassis with four hydraulic drive motors, greater ground clearance and a larger two cylinder Kubota 452 engine.

The lift still retains its bi-Energy battery power pack allowing it to work inside or in quiet locations and its narrow 1.5 metres overall width.

The standard tyres though are lugged tractor tread, although a non- marking white version of these might be possible. The overall weight is still a very handy 3.3 tonnes and while the unit has greater ground clearance stowed height is still under two metres.
