The Niftylift 170 trailer mount is an extremely versatile articulated boom platform of unique and simple
design. It is capable of placing two men and their tools up to a height of 17m (56ft) or an outreach of
8.7m (28ft 5in).
The booms are mounted via a 360opowered swing mechanism on to a compact base balanced on a
single axle. The fully articulating booms give an outstanding working envelope. The large pneumatic
wheels and minimal weight make the unit light and simple to manoeuvre.
A simple, all-hydraulic proportional control system gives smooth, reliable movement of the platform
and maximum reliability in the harshest environments.
The Niftylift 170 is available with manual or hydraulically powered outriggers (170M or 170H),
either option making setting up both swift and simple. A unique pressure sensitive microswitch system
fitted to each outrigger prevents operation of the machine until all outriggers have been correctly
deployed and also provides a loud audible alarm warning of a possibly hazardous situation. This
Operating Manual provides instructions for both manual and hydraulic outrigger options.
Models include the following:
E: - DC ELECTRIC DE: - BI-ENERGY (DIESEL & BATTERY)
AC: - AC ELECTRIC PE: - PETROL & BATTERY
D: - DIESEL PG: - PETROL & LPG (PROPANE)

TM Series
Operating & Safety Instructions
English/USA – 01/10 11
2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITATIONS
All Niftylift Trailer Mounts are limited to operation as previously described and any slopes must be
adjusted by use of the outriggers and jacks. Unless specifically configured otherwise, the machine will
have short time rating for operation in extreme temperatures, i.e. reduced battery cycle times for low
temperatures such as freezers, food storage etc. and cooling limitations for high temperatures as oil
temperature must remain between -23° and 93° Celsius.
Extended operation in dusty environments is not recommended and frequent cleaning will be
necessary. All dust, dirt, salt encrustation, excess oil or grease should be removed. Deposits of paint or
bitumen, particularly on legends or labels should also 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 he / she 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 170 range of machines does not exceed 73dB(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 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 ‘worse 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 0.5º 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 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.

3 Preparation and Inspection
3.1 UNPACKING
Since the manufacturer has no direct control over the shipping or carriage of any Niftylift it is the
responsibility of the dealer and/or owner and/or leaser to ensure the Niftylift has not been damaged in
transit and a Pre-operational Report has been carried out by a qualified engineer before the aerial
platform is put into service.
A) Remove all ropes, straps and or chains used to secure the aerial platform during transit.
B) Ensure any ramp, loading dock or forklift used is capable of supporting or lifting the aerial
platform.
***Carry out the Pre-operational Report before placing machine in service.
3.2 PREPARATION FOR USE
Whilst every effort has been made at the Niftylift factory to ensure your machine arrives in a safe and
operable condition it is necessary to carry out a systematic inspection prior to putting the aerial
platform into service.
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST IT IS MANDATORY
To assist the user in this task you will find enclosed an Inspection Check List (see section 6.3), which
must be filled out upon delivery/receipt of the machine.
Before the user carries out the Inspection Check List he must have read and fully understood all the
contents of the Operating, Safety and Maintenance Manual.
WARNING - DO NOT OPERATE A POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE OR
MALFUNCTIONING MACHINE. CORRECT AND REPAIR ANY DEFECTS
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR NIFTYLIFT.
