Niftylift – further models: the collection page for trailer-mounted aerial work platforms of the 120, 150, 170 and 210 series from the British manufacturer, 1.19 to 3.45 t unladen weight, up to 3.5 t gross weight
Niftylift builds self-propelled and trailer-mounted aerial work platforms in the United Kingdom; this collection page lists the trailer-mounted models the register could not assign to a named series. The model numbers 70, 120, 140, 150, 170 and 210 distinguish the size classes, while suffixes such as T, TE, TAC, TDE, TPE or HAC mark individual drive and equipment variants within a size; in the register the series also appears under the Dutch umbrella term hoogwerker.

The register lists 64 versions with an unladen weight from 1.19 to 3.45 t and a gross weight from 1.3 to 3.5 t. Lengths range from 4.52 to 6.31 m, widths from 1.5 to 2.05 m.
Trailer-mounted platforms of this kind are hired or run in-house by construction firms, tree surgeons, event technicians and facade cleaners, since they can be towed behind almost any suitably rated vehicle without the need for a dedicated lorry.
When buying a used platform, key checks include the function and tightness of the hydraulics, the condition of the basket and boom joints, and wear on the overrun brake and axle. Safety features such as emergency lowering and overload protection should be tested, and on electrically driven versions the battery and wiring as well. Spare parts and service are provided by the Niftylift dealer network and by hire firms specialising in access platforms.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
