The Niftylift TD120T (Track Drive) is an extremely versatile articulated boom platform of unique and
simple design. It is capable of placing one man and his tools up to a height of 12.20m (40ft) or an
outreach of 6.10m (20ft 1in).
The booms are mounted via a 406opowered swing mechanism on to a compact base mounted on
rubber tracks. The fourth boom is telescopic, and when combined with the use of the articulating
booms gives an outstanding working envelope. The powered tracks enable the machine to reach areas
previously thought unattainable.
The four outriggers make a simple and swift set up possible. A unique pressure sensitive micro switch
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.
Standard build is four fully hydraulically operated outrigger legs, with integral load holding valves
mounted on each outrigger cylinder.
A simple, all-hydraulic proportional control system gives smooth, reliable movement of the platform
and maximum reliability in the harshest environments.
Models include the following:
DAC: - DIESEL & AC ELECTRIC PAC: - PETROL & AC ELECTRIC
D: - DIESEL ONLY PG: - PETROL & LPG (PROPANE)
P: - PETROL ONLY
