ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITATIONS

Unless specifically configured otherwise, the machine will have a short operational time in extreme
temperatures such as freezers and cold storage, due to reduced battery performance. For electrical
cables and components, the ambient temperature must be within the range -5°C to 60°C.
The machine is limited in high temperatures because of the cooling requirement for engines and
hydraulic oil. Coolant temperatures must be within the range -37°C to 110°C (at 50% mixture of water
to anti-freeze). Oil temperature must be within the range –23°C to 93°C.
The recommended operational ambient range for these machines is -5°C to +40°C. Please
contact Niftylift Ltd for special considerations if the machine is required to operate outside
these temperatures.
Extended operation in dusty environments is not recommended, as frequent cleaning will be necessary.
All dust, dirt, salt encrustation, excess oil or grease should be removed. Deposits of paint or bitumen,
particularly on legends or labels should be removed.
All standard Niftylift machines are rated for a wind speed of 12.5 m/s, which equates to 45kph / 28mph
or force 6 on the Beaufort scale. No attempt should be made to operate a Niftylift in wind strengths
above this limit and if the operator has any doubts over the wind speed he / she should cease operation
immediately until it can be established that the wind speed has fallen to a safe level.
