Smiths Equipment is reported to
have cut its transport costs in half by
fitting two HR21 4x4 work platforms
from Niftylift onto its brand new flat
bed truck.
Smiths Equipment MD Thomas Smith said:"We know how expensive the transportation of larger booms and scissors can be. In the past we had to hire in a low loader and had difficulty in recouping the costs. At well under six and a half tonnes and with their very compact dimensions, we can now transport two 21m Niftylifts at a time, effectively cutting our costs in half." The HR21 from Niftylift has a 21m working height coupled with 12.5m of working outreach, all from a chassis weighing well under six and a half tonnes.
It is available in three configurations: A Diesel powered 4x4, a Bi-Energy (battery and diesel) powered 2x4 and the hybrid powered in AWD (all wheel drive).
