Niftylift trailer mounted cherry picker featured on Clarkson's Farm with igus® energy chain

The Nifty 150T trailer mount required a dependable cable management system capable of supporting continuous boom extension and retraction while maintaining power and signal transmission. The solution needed to perform reliably in outdoor environments exposed to dirt, dust, moisture and changing weather conditions.

Access platforms used in agricultural and outdoor applications operate in harsh conditions where cables are exposed to mud, dust, UV radiation and mechanical stress. Without effective cable management, cables can become tangled, wear prematurely or fail, leading to increased maintenance requirements, reduced safety and costly downtime.

igus® energy chains was used in the Nifty 150T cherry picker to guide and protect cables throughout the machine's movement. The energy chain prevents cable tangling and wear while ensuring reliable transmission of power and signals as the boom extends and retracts. This extends cable service life, reduces maintenance and improves operator safety.
