Niftylift has developed the Deck Rider 15 (DR15), a static base lift platform designed specifically for the steelwork industry to enhance safety and efficiency during steel erection. This innovative equipment reduces construction time by allowing work on steel before the concrete slab is laid, complying with stringent safety regulations for elevated work platforms. The lightweight design and features of the DR15 facilitate better positioning and continuous assembly, ultimately streamlining the overall steel erection process.

1. Static Base Lift Platforms
One of the many challenges that construction companies face during building and structure
construction is meeting all the requirements being implemented by authorities. In construction
projects that are more exposed to danger, even stricter compliance is necessary.
In steel erection projects, stricter guidelines are set to keep the worksite safe for workers.
Regulations outline detailed safety rules for all equipment, including elevated work platforms
and cranes used in the steelwork.
In response to the needs of the steelwork industry, Niftylift, a specialist in elevated work platform
machines, has developed a product that will ensure the safety of workers during a steel erection
process.
The company is known for innovative products in the work-at-height arena. The boom lift maker
has a complete line of equipment designed for the different tasks in the construction industry.
The company, for instance, has boom lifts for simple tasks such as reaching lower heights.
There are also cherry pickers that can scale sloping terrain and cherry pickers that are ideal for
work indoors. Learn more about the company’s boom lifts at www.niftylift.com.au.
Deck Rider 15
Niftylift designed and developed the Deck Rider 15 for the very specific needs of the steelwork
industry. The Deck Rider 15 (DR15) is a static base lift platform aimed at reducing the time
consumed for steel erection. All the capabilities and features put into this static base lift platform
are meant to satisfy compliance with rules set for working at height in steel erection.
The DR15 has a lightweight design, which makes it possible to use during the earlier part of the
construction process. With the static base lift platform, it becomes possible to complete tasks on
the steelwork before the concrete slab is laid.
Construction time in steelwork is often prolonged because of the safety precautions that have to
be made. The DR15 is built to lessen that timeframe. The static base lift platform allows for
continuous assembly work on the steel in the upper floors. The lower floors, in the meantime,
are freed for reinforcement work and casting. The overall steel erection process is shortened
because there no more need to depend on the slab achieving enough load-bearing strength.
Regulation is very strict when it comes to the use of elevated work platforms. The ground or
supporting structure must be checked to ensure that the work platforms can be operated safely
on them. The static base work platform is built with lifting points for it to be easily craned up to
position. The DR15’s fly boom and easily rotating cage allows for better accuracy in the
positioning of the lift platform
