2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITATIONS
Unless specifically configured otherwise, the machine will have a short operational time in extreme
temperatures such as in freezers or cold storage, due to reduced battery performance. For electrical
cables and components, the temperature must be within the range -5°C to 60°C.
The recommended operational range for these machines is - 5°C to +40°C. Please contact
Niftylift Ltd. for special considerations if the machine is required to operate outside these
temperatures.
Extended operation in dusty environments is not recommended and frequent cleaning will be
necessary. All dust, dirt, salt encrustation, and excess oil and grease should be removed. Deposits of
paint or bitumen, particularly on legends or labels should be removed.
All standard Niftylift machines are rated for a wind speed of 12.5 m/s, which equates to 45kph / 28mph
or force 6 on the Beaufort scale. No attempt should be made to operate a Niftylift in wind strengths
above this limit and if the operator has any doubts over the wind speed they should cease operation
immediately until it can be established that the wind speed has fallen to a safe level.
DO NOT USE THE NIFTYLIFT IN ELECTRICAL STORMS

2.3 NOISE AND VIBRATION
The airborne noise emission on the Height Rider range of machines does not exceed 79dB(A),
measured at a perpendicular distance of 4m, under equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure
test conditions. This was based on a diesel powered machine working on high throttle and under load.
All other models will exhibit significantly lower emissions than this figure, dependant on power option.
In normal operation the vibration level to which the operator is subjected will not exceed a weighted
root mean square acceleration value of 2.5 m/s².
2.4 TEST REPORT
All Niftylift machine models are subjected to a comprehensive ‘type test’ which duplicates all
combinations of safe working load (SWL), overload, windage, inertia, and pull force to assess the
various safe stability criteria. Self-propelled machines are also subjected to kerb and braking tests at
the SWL to satisfy additional ‘worst case’ stability requirements.
Each individual machine is then subjected to static overload tests on flat level ground with 150% of the
SWL, exceeding the requirements of EN280 for power operated MEWPs. Self-propelled machines are
also tested at the maximum working angle plus 0.5° with a test load of 125% of the SWL. Finally, on all
machines, a functional test is performed with 110% of SWL.
All safety devices are checked for correct operation, operating speeds are checked against benchmark
figures, and the dynamic functions are checked to ensure that all acceleration and deceleration forces
are within acceptable limits. All noted defects are rectified and recorded before the machine is
permitted to enter into service.

Toughcage
Niftylift toughcage is fully UV stabilised for outdoor use in the most demanding climates. However, the
user and machine owner should consider the following;
Discolouration of the material may occur; this is a natural aging process which does not
significantly alter the material properties.
Degredation to the floor may occur as a consequence of product use and effect of UV exposure.
The toughcage’s multi-layer construction means degradation of the top surface may occur over
time without compromising the structural strength of the internal and base layers.
The rate at which the toughcage floor ages is dependant upon the machines application and its
country of use (Typical levels of UV exposure). Refer to table below for aging rate applicable to your
specific area.
