Niftylift Height Rider 17N – 17.20m Boom Lift: Supreme Access in Restricted Areas

The Niftylift Height Rider 17N (HR17N) stands as a testament to intelligent design, offering an impressive blend of reach, power, and agility. Engineered for ultimate versatility, this narrow-chassis boom lift provides unparalleled access to high and awkward work areas, making it an indispensable asset for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications, particularly where space is at a premium.

Features

• 17.20m (56 ft 5 in) Max. Working Height: Delivers a significant vertical reach, enabling operators to comfortably work on elevated structures, facades, and installations.
• 15.20m (49 ft 10 in) Max. Platform Height: The height of the platform floor when fully extended.
• Excellent 9.70m (31 ft 10 in) Max. Horizontal Outreach: Offers a substantial horizontal reach, allowing operators to easily access work areas over obstacles or across wide spans, significantly enhancing efficiency.
• 1.50m (4 ft 11 in) Narrow Chassis: This is the HR17N's defining characteristic. Its exceptionally narrow base enables it to fit through standard double doorways, narrow industrial aisles, and congested access points, opening up possibilities for indoor and constrained outdoor applications that larger machines cannot tackle.
• 225 kg (496 lbs) Safe Working Load (SWL) / Platform Capacity: Can safely accommodate two operators along with their tools and materials, facilitating productive work.
• Bi-Energy or Hybrid Power System: Offers the ultimate in versatility and environmental consideration:
  • Battery Power: Provides quiet, emission-free operation, making it ideal for noise-sensitive indoor environments (e.g., hospitals, shopping centres, schools) or for night work.
  • Diesel Engine (EU Stage V Compliant): A smaller, power-optimized engine provides robust performance for outdoor use.
  • Hybrid System (Optional/Common): Combines the electric motor with the diesel engine. The innovative 'Diesel Re-Gen' feature recharges the batteries automatically while the engine is running and the machine is idle, extending battery life and reducing fuel consumption. It can also operate in an 'Electric-only' mode.
• Superb Manoeuvrability:
  • Zero Tail Swing: The boom remains within the footprint of the chassis during slewing, greatly improving safety and operational efficiency in confined spaces.
  • Tight Turning Radius (e.g., 3.5m outside): Allows for precise positioning in restricted areas.
  • Optional 4-Wheel Drive (4x4 Hybrid models): Enhances traction and gradeability (up to 35%) on challenging, uneven, or soft ground, making it suitable for a wider range of outdoor sites.
• 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 and reaching awkward angles.
• Niftylift ToughCage with SiOPS® (Safety Integrated Operator Protective System) as Standard:
  • ToughCage: A robust, impact-resistant composite base with large steel rails ensures maximum strength and durability for the operator's workspace.
  • SiOPS®: Niftylift's award-winning anti-crush system eliminates sustained involuntary operation by instantly halting machine movement if the operator is pushed against the control console, significantly enhancing operator safety.
• Fully Proportional Multi-Function Controls: Provides smooth, precise, and simultaneous control over all machine movements, improving operator confidence and efficiency.
• Non-Marking Tyres: Essential for protecting sensitive indoor flooring surfaces, these durable tyres also perform well outdoors.
• Niftylink® Telematics as Standard (Newer Models): Provides valuable data insights into machine health, activity, and location, helping to optimize fleet management, reduce downtime, and improve overall profitability.

Applications

The Niftylift HR17N is a highly sought-after machine for its versatility and compact design, serving numerous sectors:

• Indoor & Outdoor Facilities Management: Ideal for maintenance, cleaning, electrical, and HVAC tasks in large, complex buildings, shopping centres, airports, hospitals, and factories where narrow access is crucial.
• Construction & Fit-Out: Perfect for internal fit-out work, M&E (Mechanical & Electrical) installations, glazing, plastering, painting, and cladding in new builds or renovation projects with confined spaces.
• Retail & Warehousing: Efficient stock management, display setup, and general maintenance in tight aisles.
• Building Envelope Work: Facade inspections, high-level cleaning, and minor repairs on building exteriors.
• Tree Care & Arboriculture: Lighter tree trimming tasks in gardens, parks, or urban areas where precise positioning and minimal ground impact are required.
• Events & Exhibitions: Setting up stages, lighting, and displays in exhibition halls or venues with restricted access.
