Niftylift SP65SE
JCB T65D
The JCB T65D telescopic boom lift is designed for applications that demand capacity and outreach, supporting work on large-scale construction, industrial and infrastructure projects where reach and stability are critical.
At the center of its latest update is a new calibration approach. Previously, recalibration required technicians to transport and handle up to 1,000 pounds of test weights when a machine fell out of calibration. The updated system changes this process, allowing calibration to be completed with a lower applied load starting at 120 pounds. This reduces setup time and limits the physical demands placed on service personnel.
The system is enabled by a patented software solution integrated directly into the machine’ s control interface. Through a guided on-screen process, technicians can complete calibration without external tools or specialized equipment. This integration reflects a broader emphasis on intuitive operator interaction, where key functions and diagnostics are accessible directly through the machine’ s onboard display, helping streamline both operation and service.
Beyond calibration, the T65D features“ extra” capacity, allowing operators to manage different load thresholds depending on boom position and working envelope. This provides added flexibility on the jobsite, enabling a single machine to handle a wider range of tasks. Combined with a JCB 444 74-horsepower engine for power on congested and uneven terrain, these features support a balanced focus on performance, usability and uptime. www. jcb. com
The Niftylift SP65SE is a fully electric, selfpropelled boom lift designed for access work, supporting use of low-emission equipment on jobsites. Offering a platform height of 65 feet and a horizontal outreach of more than 62 feet, the SP65SE provides a working envelope suited to a range of construction, maintenance and industrial applications. Its all-electric drive system enables quiet, zero-emission operation, making it wellsuited to indoor use or environmentally sensitive locations.
A key feature of the SP65SE is its electric drive system. The machine’ s drive motors are designed to maximize duty cycles, allowing for extended operation on a single charge. Proportional controls provide smooth, precise movement, while the machine’ s design supports intuitive operation for both experienced users and those newer to boom lifts. The machine was also recognized at the International Awards for Powered Access 2025.
From a structural and operational standpoint, the SP65SE includes durability and safety-focused design elements. The integration of SiOPS( Sustained Involuntary Operation Prevention System) helps reduce the risk of operator entrapment by immediately halting machine movement if pressure is detected on the control panel.
The SP65SE reflects ongoing electrification trends in the powered access sector while maintaining similar capability to other machines in its class. By combining extended reach, electric operation and operator-focused safety features, the machine is designed to align with changing jobsite requirements. www. niftylift. com
