Some of MAS’ new JCB electric scissor lifts

Managing director Tim Kendall Bastock said: “We trialled the JCB scissors last summer when they came to market and our clients couldn't be happier with them. From a reliability point of view and the professional, thorough and hassle free JCB finance is to deal with. Niftylift are now the market leader in UK media production for booms. You can drive around most studios now in the UK and it's mostly Niftylift booms you will see. This is testament to their hybrid technology, build quality and their back up support. The HR28 Hybrids especially, and we couldn’t be busier on that model all year round due to their 280kg unrestricted capacity.”

“We chose the JLG 1250AJ ultra boom due to its extra capacity, which is paramount for our clients when hanging lights underslung from the basket, plus the fantastic outreach that it offers.”
