The Nifty HR21 Hybrid is a self-propelled articulating boom lift offering a 20.8 m (68 ft) working height and 18.8 m (62 ft) platform height, with a horizontal outreach of 12.5 m and a platform capacity of 225 kg. Its hybrid powertrain combines a diesel engine with an electric drive system, allowing it to operate in both outdoor and indoor environments where emissions need to be managed — a genuine dual-mode machine, not simply a diesel unit with battery backup.
What sets the HR21 apart from conventional diesel articulating booms in its class is its compact transport footprint combined with full rough-terrain capability. The four-wheel drive chassis handles uneven ground on construction sites, while the hybrid system enables quiet, zero-emission operation when working inside warehouses, shopping centres, or partially enclosed structures. The articulating boom provides substantial up-and-over reach, useful for clearing obstacles such as roof parapets, mezzanine edges, and structural steel. At 225 kg capacity, it comfortably carries two operators with tools.
In the Geelong region, the HR21 Hybrid is a practical choice for commercial construction, industrial maintenance, and large-format retail fitouts — particularly on sites that span both indoor and outdoor work phases without requiring a machine swap.
