Niftylift will have eight machines on its booth, FS.1003/2, at this year’s bauma 2025 exhibition in Munich, Germany and taking centre stage will be the Hydrogen-Electric HR17 H2E which launched in 2024 and is being exhibited at a global exhibition for the first time. The HR17 H2E is set to be one of the hottest MEWPs on display at this year’s bauma 2025, which will feature climate neutrality and sustainable construction as two of its central themes.

Since its launch, HR17 H2E units have been delivered to users in the UK, Germany, France and the Middle East, as customers look for equipment that can help them meet their sustainability objectives. The unit’s onboard hydrogen fuel cells offer zero-emissions operation and emit only water vapour. The power configuration enables operation over extended periods, even when no charging facilities are available.

Marcel Schepers, European Sales Manager at Niftylift, said the company aimed to highlight its innovation and ability to serve the full scope of construction applications at bauma 2025.

“We’re looking forward to showcasing our HR17 H2E to the world’s industry at bauma. It’s a great example of the innovation and new thinking that Niftylift is bringing to its customers. Elsewhere on the booth, we have a range of other compact, low-weight work platforms with a variety of power options and drives. We want to show customers how our machines can help them do the job faster and more efficiently, no matter the application.”

Getting things straight

Also making its first appearance at an international trade show is the HR22SE, the first stick-boom self-propelled platform from the company. It launched in the second half of last year and is perfect for customers looking for a machine that offers fast and straightforward operation – especially in construction. It offers a working height of 21.7 m and a working outreach of 18.8 m, all within a compact footprint. With a tail swing of just 0.55 m it’s perfect for working in tight spaces or on congested sites.

Other models from the self-propelled range on the booth at bauma 2025 include the smallest and largest from Niftylift’s hybrid range: the new HR12 4x4, a hybrid-powered model with a 12.1 m working height, and the HR28 4x4, which offers a 28 m working height and is available with either hybrid or battery-only power. Both feature Niftylift’s innovative Diesel Re-Gen system, which rapidly charges the on-board batteries whenever the machine is idling.

From the Niftylift range of all-electric, self-propelled articulating booms there are the HR17N and the HR21E. The HR17N offers a 17 m working height and is one of the manufacturer’s narrow-design electric units that are well-suited to work indoors or where quiet, clean operation is needed. The HR21E gives owners up to 20.8 m of working height with two persons and their tools on board.

Rounding out the full array of products on the booth are two units from the trailer-mounted range: the Nifty 120T, with a 12.2 m working height; and the Nifty 150T with a 14.7 m working height.
