Winner of the 'Queen's Awards for Enterprise 2019' Innovation award, the HeightRider 28 (HR28) 4x4 is one of a new generation of environmentally conscious work platforms from Niftylift. Combining advanced power-source technology with efficient four-wheel-drive, it delivers outstanding performance from a compact and low-weight design.
The HR28 is substantially lighter and more compact than its competitors and with a smaller tail swing. This coupled with its excellent manoeuvrability means that it can work in more locations than its larger rivals and can be transported more economically too. Better utilisation and lower transportation costs make the HR28 a more profitable machine to own and operate.
Proportional controls deliver smooth, measured operation while 180º cage rotation and a 150º fly-boom allow precise positioning anywhere in its vast working envelope.
Its revolutionary second-generation Hybrid power system incorporates a smaller, power-optimised EU Stage V compliant Diesel engine, supported by the machine's electric motor when extra power is needed. This maintains power and performance while reducing fuel consumption for maximum efficiency. The innovative 'Diesel Re-Gen' feature also recharges the batteries, giving a 'fast-charge' whenever the machine is idle and the engine running. In addition, an electric-only mode allows zero-emission operation, making it ideal for indoor use, or for quiet, clean operation.
