The Niftylift 170 trailer mount is an extremely versatile articulated boom platform of unique and simple
design. It is capable of placing two men and their tools up to a height of 17m (56ft) or an outreach of
8.7m (28ft 5in).
The booms are mounted via a 360 o powered swing mechanism on to a compact base balanced on a
single axle. The fully articulating booms give an outstanding working envelope. The large pneumatic
wheels and minimal weight make the unit light and simple to manoeuvre.
A simple, all-hydraulic proportional control system gives smooth, reliable movement of the platform
and maximum reliability in the harshest environments.
The Niftylift 170 is available with manual or hydraulically powered outriggers (170M or 170H),
either option making setting up both swift and simple. A unique pressure sensitive microswitch system
fitted to each outrigger prevents operation of the machine until all outriggers have been correctly
deployed and also provides a loud audible alarm warning of a possibly hazardous situation. This
Operating Manual provides instructions for both manual and hydraulic outrigger options.
