Progress report

We have a progress report from our two intrepid West Country apprentices at A.M.P. They are making solid progress with the rebuilding of the two Niftylift HR12 boom lifts. See A training challenge

The first stages have included removing the superstructures, cleaning and removing chassis components, carrying out a detail structural inspection and then checking out what is reusable among the major components.

The two machines will be completely rebuilt and then put on display at Access Days, SED in May and Vertikal Days in late June.
