The Niftylift SD (Self Drive) is a range of extremely versatile articulating boom mounted via a 360º
powered swing mechanism. Driven from the basket, the Niftylift SD34T Self Drive accommodates up
to two men and their equipment, and offers a working height of up to 40ft or an outreach of 20ft with a
maximum capacity of 500lb.
High traction tyres and hydraulic wheel motors give 45% gradeability for this model. Automatic braking
and audible alarms activated by tilt sensor help to prevent the operator from working on unsafe terrain.
The outriggers make a swift set up possible and minimise the weight of the machine. A unique
pressure sensitive micro switch system fitted to each outrigger prevents operation of the machine until
all outriggers have been correctly deployed and also provides a loud audible alarm warning of a
possible hazardous situation
A simple, all-hydraulic proportional control system gives smooth, reliable movement of the basket and
maximum reliability in the harshest environments.
The Niftylift Self Drive provides a fast, safe, cost effective method of access, both inside and out, for a
multitude of applications where overhead working is required.
