The Nifty 210 EWP, with its 21-metre working height and 12-metre outreach, has one of the largest unrestricted working envelopes in its class.
The Nifty 210 is a robust and versatile trailer-mounted access platform with a special boom design which allows the cage to be moved vertically in a straight line using a single control, making it ideal for working near walls or buildings.
The dimensions and vast working envelope of the machine make it suited to a vast range of environments and ideally suited to the arbor industry.
Transport and locating
A road-towable chassis and reverse overrun brakes mean the Nifty 210 can be towed from site to site by a commercial vehicle or suitable 4X4, helping reduce transportation costs and giving the user more flexibility when moving the machine.
Once the Nifty 210 is onsite, a traction-drive system operated from the cage allows effortless positioning. Hydraulically powered drums turn the road wheels and one operator can unhitch and manoeuvre from one location to another in a safe and controlled manner, even on softer ground like gravel and grass.
The Nifty 210 comes with a versatile combination of diesel and mains power, giving the benefits of the electric and engine power options on the same machine.
Setting up
The Nifty 210’s cage will accommodate up to two people and their tools and will elevate them to a position anywhere in its class-leading, unrestricted working envelope.
Hydraulic outriggers are standard, which saves time and energy during set up. Operated from a control station in the cage, each outrigger can be controlled effortlessly for easy levelling, even on inclines or uneven surfaces. Pressure-sensitive interlocks on all outriggers ensure the machine is set up correctly and will not allow operation of the boom control until all outriggers are safely in position.
On the job
Operating the 210 is easy.
After turning on the cage control switch, simple-to-use, fully proportional hydraulic levers control all boom movements. By simply raising or lowering the levers while pressing and holding the green power button or foot pedal, the operator can easily and accurately move each boom, individually or together, to position the cage.
The Nifty 210 also features cage rotation, giving the operator precise control when positioning the cage at height.
As well as the controls in the cage there are controls at the base, providing a safety backup for the operator. In order to operate the base controls the user simply turns the key to the ‘Base’ position and then activates the levers in the same way as the cage controls.
There’s a red ‘E-stop’ next to every green power button, allowing the machine to be quickly stopped from either the base or the cage in the event of an emergency.
Safety features
A manual hand pump on the 210 allows all machine functions to be operated, even without power. Used in conjunction with the ground controls, it enables the machine to be safely lowered to the ground. The hydraulic outriggers can also be operated in this manner, so the machine can be completely stowed without any power if necessary.
Every Nifty lift incorporates check valves on all hydraulic rams to ensure that, in the unlikely event of a hose failure, the machine will remain safely in position.
Low maintenance
With maintenance-free pins and bushes, durable hydraulic hoses and only a few easy-to-access grease points to service, maintaining the Nifty 210 is quick and simple.
The Nifty 210 fast to set up, easy to use and simple to maintain. It offers an outstanding working envelope and unrivalled low-level outreach all the way to the ground, making it ideal for working in a wide range of environments.
