Driven from the platform, the Niftylift Height Rider 17 (SP50) Hybrid is an extremely versatile articulated
boom platform of unique and simple design. The HR17 can place two men and their tools at a height of
17.00m (55ft 10in) or an outreach of 8.80m (29ft).
The booms are mounted via a 360 o powered swing mechanism onto a compact narrow base with a
tight turning circle that ensures 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.
A digital control system gives smooth, reliable movement of the platform and maximum reliability in the
harshest environments.
