HR22SE rough-terrain lift
“Customers have been asking us for a simplified, lower cost, straight boom option that still features Niftylift’s trademark engineering and manufacturing excellence. So we’re delighted to introduce our HR22 SE. It’s perfect for construction, and other industrial applications, and delivers great reach and control from an all-electric design that ensures lower noise and emissions on site. At Niftylift, we're focused on providing reliable and cost-effective equipment that gets the job done, and we’re excited to see the first units get to work,” said John Keely, managing director at Niftylift.
The HR22 SE can cover a large working area with up to 71 feet of reach from a platform that extends up to 65 feet vertically and with a horizontal outreach of 62 feet. This excellent coverage combines with several other features that will appeal to users. Tail swing is just 22 inches for operation in congested spots and there’s vertical articulation of the basket of up to 150 degrees and equivalent horizontal movement of 170 degrees to access those difficult-to-reach areas.
The unit’s zero-emissions, electric drive is based on Niftylift technology and there’s a low-noise pump for even less disturbance. Power comes from a configuration of 8 x 400 Ah batteries that deliver 48 volts and up to five days of consecutive operations, with a 60-amp charger for re-powering. The driving experience is smooth thanks to a rear suspension system and travel speeds can reach up to 3.4 mph with a turning radius of 25 feet 4 inches.
Operating is simple via its intuitive, fully proportional controls, while the large 4.3-inch information screens at the base and basket provide valuable information on the machine’s status. SiOPS technology prevents sustained involuntary operation; Niftylink telematics is included for remote monitoring.
The basket on the new HR22SE can accommodate up to 620 pounds of personnel and tools inside the 7-foot 10-inch x 2-foot 11-inch basket.
“We’re excited to begin deliveries of the new HR22SE. It’s an addition that expands our offering and allows customers to provide a wider range of services from their Niftylift fleets,” adds Keely.
