ON THE COVER…
Two times Hire and Rental Industry Awards ‘Best
New Product’ Award winner – Nifty is celebrating
11 years of equipment innovation in Australia.
Managing Director John King said Nifty has
worked hard to produce new machines.
“We’re at the cutting edge of new technology,”
John said. “We’ve brought out the new Hybrid
system and are continuing to build machines that
are lighter and more compact. We also designed
the EWP anti-crush system, leading the world in
the development of this life saving technology.
“Safety is paramount for Nifty and our track
record and industry awards and achievements
show the way forward.”
