Niftylift Wins HAE Supplier of the Year 2026

A third consecutive win and industry recognition for the next generation HR12N.

Niftylift is proud to announce that it has been named Hire Industry Supplier of the Year at the 2026 Hire Awards of Excellence, hosted by Hire Association Europe (HAE) on Saturday, 18th April at London’s Grosvenor House.

This marks the third consecutive year that Niftylift has received this prestigious award and the eighth time overall, reinforcing its position as a trusted partner to the hire industry.

A Consistent Standard of Excellence

The Hire Industry Supplier of the Year award recognises companies that demonstrate outstanding performance across key areas, including innovation, customer support, employee development, and sustainable business practices.

Niftylift’s continued success in this category reflects its long-term commitment to delivering high-quality, low-weight access platforms, backed by industry-leading service and support.

Winning the award three years in a row is a significant achievement and highlights the consistency of Niftylift’s approach, not just in product development, but across every part of the business.

Recognition for the HR12N MK3

In addition to the Supplier of the Year award, Niftylift was also shortlisted for Hire Industry Product of the Year with its new HR12N MK3, which was Highly Commended by the judges.

The HR12N MK3 represents the next generation of narrow electric boom lifts, combining compact dimensions with a highly capable working envelope and advanced all-electric performance.

Key features include a 225kg safe working load, improved operational flexibility, and a Diesel-Electric option for extended runtime, enabling the machine to operate efficiently across a wider range of environments.

Its low-weight design, long battery life, and advanced safety systems such as SiOPS^® continue to set it apart in the market, delivering real-world benefits for rental companies and end users alike.

What This Means for Our Customers

These awards are not just a recognition of Niftylift as a manufacturer, they reflect the success of its customers and partners who rely on its equipment every day.

By focusing on efficiency, reliability, and ease of ownership, Niftylift continues to help rental companies maximise utilisation, reduce operating costs, and meet the evolving demands of modern job sites.
