TEST REPORT
All Niftylift machine models are subjected to a comprehensive ‘type test’ which duplicates all
combinations of safe working load (SWL), overload, windage, inertia and pull force to assess the
various safe stability criteria. Self propelled machines are also subjected to kerb and braking tests at
the SWL to satisfy additional ‘worse case’ stability requirements.
Each individual machine is then subjected to static overload tests on flat level ground with 150% of the
SWL, exceeding the requirements of EN280 for power operated MEWPs. Self propelled machines are
also tested at the maximum working angle
plus
0.5º with a test load of 125% of the SWL. Finally, on all
machines, a functional test is performed with 110% of SWL.
All safety devices are checked for correct operation, operating speeds are checked against benchmark
figures and the dynamic functions ensure that all acceleration and deceleration forces are within
acceptable limits. All noted defects are rectified and recorded before the machine is permitted to enter
into service.
