The Ultimate Cherry Picker for Warehouse Maintenance: HR17NE

Discover why the all-electric Niftylift HR17NE is the ideal cherry picker for warehouse and industrial facility maintenance, offering zero emissions, quiet operation, and class-leading performance.

Reliable Performance for Industrial Facility Maintenance

Maintaining warehouses and industrial facilities demands reliable, efficient equipment—especially when access at height is involved. That’s where the award-winning Niftylift Height Rider range comes in.

The HR17NE, Niftylift’s all-electric cherry picker, is specifically engineered for indoor facility maintenance. It combines zero emissions, powerful performance, and compact design, making it the go-to MEWP for warehouses and industrial environments with strict air-quality and noise regulations.

Why Choose an All-Electric Cherry Picker?

The HR17NE is part of Niftylift’s growing All-Electric range, designed to meet the environmental and operational demands of modern facilities. Key benefits include:

• Zero emissions – ideal for enclosed indoor spaces with air quality restrictions
• Whisper-quiet operation – reduces disruption and protects staff from noise fatigue
• Non-marking tyres – help protect polished warehouse floors from costly damage (which can cost up to £350/m² to repair)

Versatile and Operator-Friendly

The HR17NE is designed with versatility at its core. From planned maintenance to urgent repairs, it enables safe access for a wide range of tasks:

• Lighting maintenance – reach high-mounted fittings or skylights easily
• HVAC servicing – inspect and repair ductwork or air handling units
• Structural inspections – assess ceilings, beams, or upper-level walls
• Racking maintenance – adjust or repair warehouse shelving systems
• Machinery repairs – safely access elevated equipment for service work

Compact Design, Powerful Performance

Despite its narrow base width of just 1.5m and stowed height of under 2m, the HR17NE doesn’t compromise on power or reach. It’s ideal for navigating:

• Tight warehouse aisles
• Narrow production corridors
• Confined areas between machinery

With zero tail swing and a low-weight chassis, it’s also suitable for raised platforms or mezzanines.

Key Features:

• 1.5m base width
• Stowed height < 2m
• Zero tail swing for safe manoeuvrability
• Low-weight design for transport and mezzanine use
• 225kg safe working load
• 17m working height and 9.7m outreach

This unique combination of strength, reach, and compactness makes the HR17NE a top performer in the warehouse maintenance sector.

Trusted Niftylift Features – As Standard

All Height Rider models come equipped with Niftylift’s signature safety and performance technologies:

• ToughCage – Impact-resistant composite base and robust steel construction for operator safety and durability

Industry Support for Going Electric

According to the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF):

• Electric MEWPs have 30% fewer reported incidents indoors than diesel-powered models
• Electric machines are recommended for enclosed environments where emissions pose safety risks

The UK Warehousing Association (UKWA) also reports that using electric MEWPs like the HR17NE can lead to a 25% reduction in operational costs when compared to diesel-powered alternatives.

Conclusion: The Ideal MEWP for Warehouse Maintenance

The HR17NE is more than just a cherry picker—it’s a dependable partner for warehouse and industrial facility management. With class-leading performance, compact size, and sustainable operation, it's the smart choice for companies looking to improve safety, reduce costs, and meet environmental targets.
