Discover four Niftylift access platforms ideal for telecoms installation projects, offering safety, precision, and all-terrain performance.

Essential Access Solutions for Telecommunications Installations

Working at height in the telecommunications sector comes with a unique set of challenges. Whether you're upgrading cell towers, installing rooftop antennas, or inspecting high-level equipment, having the right access platform makes all the difference.

At Niftylift, we design our mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) with safety, reliability, and real-world performance in mind. Below, we spotlight four machines that are particularly well-suited to telecommunications installation work—each offering a tailored solution for a specific set of challenges.

HR28 4x4: Power and Performance for Demanding Projects

The HR28 4x4 is an award-winning platform that offers exceptional performance and efficiency. It combines second-generation hybrid technology with four-wheel drive, making it ideal for a variety of telecom environments.

Why it’s ideal for telecoms:

• 180° platform rotation + 150° fly-boom: Perfect for antenna upgrades and mounting high-level communication hardware.
• 360° continuous slew: Speeds up repositioning when working around tower structures.
• Hybrid power system: Quiet and low-emission for use in urban zones.
• 40% gradeability: Easily handles the uneven or sloped terrain often found at rural mast sites.

The HR28 reduces fuel use and transport costs, making it both eco-friendly and budget-conscious.

HR15N: Compact Precision for Tight Spaces

When working in confined areas like rooftops or alleyways, the HR15N shines. Its narrow chassis and zero-tail swing make it a top pick for inner-city telecom projects.

Why it’s ideal for telecoms:

• 15.5m working height + 9.7m outreach: Great for accessing rooftop equipment or façade-mounted installations.
• Rotating cage with fly-boom: Offers exceptional precision in awkward areas.
• All-electric or hybrid options: Enables quiet, zero-emission operation—perfect for noise-sensitive locations.
• Ultra-compact footprint: Navigates tight spaces with ease.

The HR15N offers urban adaptability with industry-leading control and reach.

Nifty 210: Trailer-Mounted Flexibility for Urban and Rural Projects

The Nifty 210 is a trailer-mounted MEWP that brings mobility and practicality together, especially when site access is limited by weight or space restrictions.

Why it’s ideal for telecoms:

• Platform rotation: Increases manoeuvrability when working on poles or structures.
• 225kg unrestricted outreach: Carry tools and materials effortlessly to height.
• Hydraulic outriggers: Ensure fast, safe setup, maximising uptime.
• Traction drive system: Easy on-site repositioning even in narrow or uneven spaces.

Lightweight and easy to tow, the Nifty 210 is a flexible option for telecom jobs across both rural and urban settings.

TD150T: All-Terrain Capability for Remote Access

The TD150T TrackDrive platform is designed for telecom projects in remote or rugged locations. Its tracked chassis provides superb traction and stability, no matter the terrain.

Why it’s ideal for telecoms:

• 45% gradeability and excellent grip: Confidently tackle steep inclines and rough ground.
• Compact and low weight: Reduces transport costs and fits into hard-to-reach spots.
• Optional non-marking tracks: Use indoors for data centres or switch stations.
