Description
Niftylift Height Rider 15N – 15.40m Boom Lift: Extended Reach in Confined Spaces
The Niftylift Height Rider 15N (HR15N) is a cutting-edge self-propelled boom lift that delivers an exceptional working envelope from an ultra-compact and narrow chassis. Designed for precision and versatility, it's the ideal solution for a vast range of applications requiring elevated access in areas where space is at a premium, whether indoors or out.
Features
- 15.5m (50 ft 10 in) Max. Working Height: Offers an impressive vertical reach, allowing operators to safely access higher work points for construction, maintenance, and installation tasks.
- 13.5m (44 ft 3 in) Max. Platform Height: The height of the platform floor when fully extended.
- Outstanding 9.7m (31 ft 10 in) Max. Horizontal Outreach: Provides a significant horizontal reach, enabling operators to work over obstacles or across large spans, greatly enhancing flexibility and reducing the need to reposition the machine.
- 1.5m (4 ft 11 in) Narrow Chassis: The defining characteristic of the HR15N. This exceptionally narrow width allows it to effortlessly pass through standard doorways, alleyways, and congested access points, making it perfect for confined indoor spaces and tight outdoor sites.
- 225 kg (496 lbs) Safe Working Load (SWL) / Platform Capacity: Can safely lift two operators along with their tools and materials, ensuring high productivity.
- Bi-Energy or Hybrid Power System: Offers unparalleled versatility:
- Battery Power: Provides quiet, emission-free operation, making it perfect for sensitive indoor environments like hospitals, schools, shopping centres, or offices, or for night work where noise is a concern.
- Diesel Engine (EU Stage V Compliant): A smaller, power-optimized engine provides robust power for outdoor use and extended operation.
- Hybrid Option: Intelligently combines both power sources, using the electric motor when extra power is needed (e.g., for climbing steep grades) and featuring an innovative 'Diesel Re-Gen' system that recharges the batteries while the engine is idling, maximizing efficiency and minimizing fuel consumption.
- Superb Manoeuvrability:
- Zero Tail Swing: The boom does not extend beyond the chassis when slewing, further improving safe operation in tight spaces.
- Tight Turning Radius (e.g., 3.5m outside): Allows for precise positioning in restricted areas.
- Optional 4-Wheel Drive: Available on some hybrid variants for enhanced traction and rough-terrain capabilities, allowing it to tackle uneven ground and slopes (up to 25% or 35% gradeability depending on configuration).
- 180° Platform Rotation with Fly-Boom: The platform can rotate 180 degrees, and the additional fly-boom provides an impressive 150° arc, offering exceptional precision when positioning the basket, making it easier to reach awkward angles.
- Niftylift ToughCage with SiOPS® (Safety Integrated Operator Protective System) as Standard:
- ToughCage: Built with an impact-resistant composite base and large, robust steel rails for maximum strength and durability.
- SiOPS®: Niftylift's multi-award-winning safety system instantly halts machine movement if the operator is pushed onto the control console, eliminating sustained involuntary operation and significantly reducing the risk of crushing injuries.
- Fully Proportional Multi-Function Controls: Provides smooth, precise, and simultaneous control over all machine movements, enhancing operator confidence and efficiency.
- Non-Marking Tyres: Essential for indoor applications, these tyres prevent scuff marks and damage to finished floor surfaces, while still being durable enough for outdoor use.
- Integrated Telematics (Niftylink): Newer models come standard with Niftylink, a powerful telematics tool that provides real-time data on machine health, activity, location, and performance, optimizing fleet management and maintenance.
Applications
The Niftylift HR15N is exceptionally versatile and highly valued for:
- Indoor & Outdoor Maintenance: Perfect for routine maintenance, cleaning, electrical work, and HVAC tasks in large facilities, shopping centres, schools, hospitals, and airports.
- Construction & Fit-Out: Ideal for internal fit-out, M&E (Mechanical & Electrical) installations, plastering, painting, and glazing in new build or renovation projects where compact dimensions are critical.
- Retail & Warehousing: Efficiently accessing high shelving for stock management, display setup, and maintenance in narrow aisles.
- Facilities Management: General upkeep and repair in complex and varied environments.
- Building Envelope Work: Facade inspections, minor repairs, and painting, especially where access is tight or ground conditions vary.
- Tree Care & Arboriculture: Lighter tree trimming tasks in gardens or public spaces where ground impact and access are concerns.
