Niftylift – TD42T DAC
The Niftylift TD42T DAC (Diesel/AC) is a powerhouse in the compact tracked lift category, specifically designed for jobsites where versatility, low weight, and dual-power performance are non-negotiable. Combining the rugged terrain capability of a crawler with the quiet, emissions-free operation of AC mains power, this lift is the ultimate “go-anywhere” solution for both indoor and outdoor maintenance.
Description
The Niftylift TD42T DAC is a specialized track-drive aerial platform that bridges the gap between self-propelled and trailer-mounted booms. Featuring a “DAC” power configuration, this machine utilizes a fuel-efficient Kubota Diesel engine for navigating rough outdoor terrain and an AC plug-in option for quiet, indoor boom operation. Its low-profile design and non-marking tracks make it a favorite for facilities maintenance, tree care, and construction sites with sensitive surfaces or tight access points.
Key Features
-
Dual Power (DAC): Transition seamlessly from Diesel power for site travel to AC mains power (plug-in) for emissions-free operation during indoor tasks.
-
Superior Gradeability: Tackle steep inclines and uneven mud with ease, with a 45% (24°) gradeability, ensuring you can reach the work area regardless of site conditions.
-
Ultra-Lightweight Design: Weighing only 4,390 lbs, it is significantly lighter than standard boom lifts in its class. This allows for lower-cost transportation and operation on delicate surfaces where heavier machines would cause damage.
-
