Driven from the platform, the Niftylift Height Rider 21 (SP64) Hybrid 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 21.20m (69ft 2in) or an outreach of 13.20m (43ft 4in).
The compact narrow base and tight turning circle, powered slew, up and over capability, good
outreach, combined with sensitive controls, ensure excellent manoeuvrability and maximum efficiency.
High traction tyres and powerful hydraulic wheel motors give unsurpassed performance with the option
of fast drive speed when the booms are in the stowed position. Automatic braking and audible alarms
activated by a four-degree tilt sensor help to prevent the operator from working on unsafe terrain whilst
elevated.
The Niftylift Height Rider 21 Hybrid provides a fast, safe, cost effective method of access, both inside
and out, for a multitude of applications where overhead working is required. It operates from either
battery or diesel power via an electric motor or diesel engine, both of which are coupled to a single
hydraulic pump.
