The new HeightRider 15E (HR15E) and HeightRider 15E (HR17E) all-electric booms from Niftylift can lift two people and their tools to working heights of 15.7m and 17.2m, respectively, or a working outreach of 9.4m.
The all-electric booms utilise an advanced battery power system with an efficient all-electric drive that allows the batteries to work for significantly longer. Niftylift measures machine operation in ‘Standard Duty Cycles’ (expressed as an ‘SDC Rating’) and the new all-electric booms achieve an SDC Rating of 66 (at an ambient temp of 25°C). The industry standard for a typical working day is 16, which means that they can potentially offer over 4 ‘days’ of operation on a single charge.
They come with AGM maintenance-free batteries as standard and a full monitoring and protection system that monitors battery voltage, DC current in and out, and battery temperature. The system stops batteries from being discharged to less than 20% of full charge, preventing battery damage that can be caused by excessive deep battery discharge
Weighing less than 5 tonnes and having a weight and space-saving design, both machines have high manoeuvrability on-site and reduce transportation costs for rental companies. The 180° rotating cage and fly-boom coupled with fully proportional multi-function controls deliver high precision when positioning the cage, making tasks quicker and easier to perform.
The impact-resistant composite base and larger cross-section steel rails (ToughCage) provide additional strength and durability to the booms, and Niftylift’s patented operator protection system (SiOPS), eliminates sustained involuntary operation by instantly stopping machine movement if the operator is pushed onto the control console.
Niftylift’s new digital analytics tool, Niftylink, is delivered via a web-based management portal and smartphone app. With over 70 parameters of machine data, Niftylink provides data insights on machine health, activity and location.
