One of the most commonly hired indoor scissor lifts in Britain, used for retail, warehouse and light industrial maintenance and installation. The zero inside turning radius is what makes it work in aisles where a larger machine simply cannot be manoeuvred.

The Niftylift HR12 is a compact, comparatively lightweight articulating boom lift built by UK manufacturer Niftylift in Milton Keynes, aimed at maintenance and construction access jobs on rough or soft ground where 4-wheel drive and low machine weight are an advantage. Its outreach and working height put it in the lower-mid band of boom lift hire fleets, below the taller diesel booms used for larger commercial and industrial access work. Being UK-built gives it strong dealer and parts presence in the domestic hire market.
