Niftylift launches new narrow booms

Niftylift has launched two new fully redesigned and updated versions of its popular narrow HR15N and HR17N booms. Both are still 1.5 metres wide but now feature a reduced stowed height of less than two metres.

The new HR17N has an overall height of less than two metres


The original narrow machines were launched almost 15 years ago but their overall stowed heights had crept up to more than 2.1 metres. Although a relatively small reduction Niftylift says it is very important for specific applications such as accessing and working in shopping centres.

The new HR17N


A lot of thought had to be put into the design to reduce the height and weight has gone up slightly with the new machines weighing 7,250kg for the HR15N and 7,400kg for the HR17N. However Niftylift has also taken the opportunity to add the latest features from the larger machines in its range.

Widths remain the same at 1.5 metres


A more efficient power control system is said to triple battery life and will be gradually introduced on other Niftylift models. The much slicker, better laid-out platform has fully multifunctional proportional controls as well as SiOPs 'secondary guarding' and - for the first time on a Narrow machine - a Tough Cage is fitted as standard.

Working heights are 15.5 metres and 17 metres respectively with 9.7 metres outreach on both. Other features include 225kg platform capacity, a more rugged 180 degree platform rotator and 150 degree articulated jib. Both are available now.
