Title: Niftylift 120
Post by: Harry Roberts on June 06, 2017, 05:43:44 pm

Hi all.

Do I need special license to operate one of these.
One of my clients has one and I want to hire it from them, before I do I want to know what I need.

Thanks

Static boom isn't it?
Ipaf  1b. Make sure it's loler certificated and don't forget the petrol.

Your rams will require a rescue plan.

Good luck!

check LOLER cert is in date and machine has operators manual if neither then go to a proper hire firm ... if it all goes tits up hse will fook you up bad style if those 2 things are not in place  ;D ... plus rescue plan already mentioned which is not calling 999 but having a person on the ground who can work the other set of controls to bring machine down

Hello Harry,

It's not a legal requirement to hold an IPAF License. You can hire without one.

You can jump out of an airplane without a parachute, it's not a legal requirement.

It's certainly 'reasonably practicable' to undertake relevant training, when working at heights.

Make sure you check the height your insurance allows you to work at too.
