Driven from the basket, the Niftylift SP45 or SP50 is an extremely versatile articulated boom platform of
unique and simple design. The SP45 can place two men and their tools at a height of 50ft 10in or an
outreach of 30ft.
The booms are mounted via a 360
o
powered swing mechanism onto a compact narrow base with a
tight turning circle that ensures excellent manoeuvrability and maximum efficiency.
High traction tires and powerful hydraulic wheel motors give unsurpassed performance with the option
of fast drive speed when the booms are in the stowed position. Automatic braking and audible alarms
activated by a four degree tilt sensor help to prevent the operator from working on unsafe terrain whilst
elevated.
A digital control system gives smooth, reliable movement of the basket and maximum reliability in the
harshest environments.
