The Nifty HR17 is a compact electric articulating boom lift delivering a 17 m (56 ft) working height and a 15 m (49.6 ft) platform height. With a 9.1 m (30 ft) horizontal reach and a 225 kg platform capacity, it handles two-person work tasks comfortably in environments where zero emissions and low noise are essential — including warehouses, shopping centres, aged care facilities, and indoor construction fit-outs.
What sets the HR17 apart from larger articulating booms is its compact chassis and tight turning radius, which allows access through standard doorways and into congested indoor areas without floor protection compromises. The articulating boom geometry provides excellent up-and-over capability, making it well suited to tasks above obstacles such as racking, machinery, or building fascias. Its electric drive keeps operating costs low and eliminates the need for exhaust ventilation, a practical advantage on enclosed Geelong commercial and industrial sites.
In the Geelong region, the HR17 is a frequent choice for facilities maintenance contractors, shopfitters, and mechanical services teams working inside industrial buildings, factories, and retail precincts where diesel machines cannot operate. It is also used on exposed commercial construction sites during internal fit-out phases where slab protection is a priority.
