Following many years of developing and testing, Niftylift first introduced a true parallel-hybrid powertrain to the market back in 2007 with the HR21 4x4, becoming the world’s first manufacturer of MEWPs (Mobile Elevated Work Platforms) to do so.
Since then we have been paving the way, developing cutting-edge hybrid technology, and in 2018 we launched our second-generation hybrid system, known as Gen2 Hybrid.
All of our Gen2 Hybrid machines are equipped with smaller, EU Stage V (Tier 4 Final in the US) compliant engines. These power-optimised Gen2 Hybrids use up to 50% less fuel than Diesel-only engines, making them much more efficient. In fact, since Niftylift’s hybrid work platforms were introduced to the market, over 5.5 million litres of fuel have been saved!
