Niftylift has launched its first-ever straight boom platform.
The development of the HR22 SE straight boom platform gives customers a new option from the company for fast operation with excellent performance credentials.
“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 S,” said John Keely, Managing Director at Niftylift.
“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.”
The HR22 SE can cover a large working area with up to 21.7 metres of reach from a platform that extends up to 19.7 metres vertically and with a horizontal outreach of 18.8 metres.

The straight boom platform has a 55 cm tail swing for operation in congested areas and there’s vertical articulation of the basket of up to 150-degrees and equivalent horizontal movement of 170-degrees to access difficult-to-reach areas.
The HR22 SE electric drive means it generates zero-emissions, 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 V and up to five days of consecutive operations, with a 60 A charger for re-powering.
The driving experience is smooth thanks to a rear suspension system and travel speeds can reach up to 5.5 km per hour with a turning radius of 7.7 metres.
Operating is simple via its intuitive, fully proportional controls, while the large 11 cm information screens at the base and basket to provide information on the machine’s status. For safety, the HR22 SE is equipped with SiOPS technology, which prevents sustained involuntary operation. As with all new models from the company, Niftylink telematics is included for remote monitoring.
The basket on the new HR22SE can accommodate up to 280 kg of personnel and tools inside the 2.4 metre x 0.9 metre 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,” Keely said.
New Niftylift HR12 4×4
Niftylift has also updated its HR12 4×4. With this new model, the company now has upgraded versions of the full complement of machines in this class, including the HR12LE (low weight), HR12N (narrow) and HR12NE (narrow, electric).
The modified boom on the latest HR12 4×4 delivers increased horizontal outreach of 6.4 metres while working height is set at 12.1 metres.
The 4×4 performance means there’s a four-wheel drive system for increased confidence across uneven surfaces plus deep tread rough terrain tires to provide extra grip even on soft ground.
Power now comes from Niftylift’s Gen2 plug-in hybrid design to enable operation from an efficient Stage 5-compliant engine or with zero-emissions via its electric-only power mode depending on customer needs and local work environment.
Other new design features include SiOPS and Niftylink telematics for remote monitoring.
“The HR12 range is one of our best-loved and the updated HR12 4×4 means the full line-up now offers the latest Niftylift technology. Our unique parallel hybrid design gives owners a choice of how best to power the machine to suit the application, while technology such as SiOPS and Niftylink deliver added value,” said Simon Maher, Marketing Manager at Niftylift.
“We’re continuing to push the boundaries, giving customers more outreach and better performance from machines that weigh less than competitors. The launch of our new HR22SE and HR12 4×4 underline our commitment to leading the industry in design and innovation.”
