Niftylift – other models: the collective page of the British trailer-mounted platforms outside the named ranges, from the 120T to the 210H, unladen weights from 1,300 to 3,460 kg, Nifty range working heights
This page gathers the Niftylift trailer-mounted aerial platforms the register could not assign to a named range. Niftylift, based in Milton Keynes, England, has built aerial work platforms since the 1980s and is one of the well-known European makers of articulated and telescopic booms on trailer chassis. The model-name logic gives the working height in feet first, followed by the build type: T for telescopic, H for hinged articulated boom; the 120T, for instance, denotes a working height of around 12 m in telescopic form.

The register lists here 14 versions with unladen weights from 1,300 to 3,460 kg, gross weights from 1,300 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 4,540 to 6,950 mm and widths from 1,520 to 1,830 mm.
Trailer-mounted platforms such as the Nifty range are used chiefly by plant-hire firms and facility contractors, because they can be towed behind an ordinary car and so reach a building site or tree-care job without special transport.
On a used purchase, operating hours and an up-to-date periodic inspection, the condition of the hydraulic cylinders and hose lines, the function of the emergency lowering system, tyres and the overrun brake, and corrosion on mast and basket all count; spares and service run through the Niftylift dealer network. On older units, checking the basket's overload protection is also worthwhile, since its absence can complicate approval for further use.

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.
