Last year, before I was a dealer for any lift, the Tracked Lifts 70' spider was the final contestant against the SD64, although it wasn't the 36" access, but the slightly wider version.
Their 72' lift that goes through a 36" gate has a 300lb capacity, and ~34' of side reach. How is that more stable than the Nifty having a 500lb capacity and nearly 25% more outreach? Granted capacity and outreach isn't a direct metric for stability, but I am curious what you're basing your statement on.
Don't get me wrong, the Tracked Lifts 72' was the runner up in my search and is a great lift.... my findings weren't in keeping with yours. There's no debating that the SD64 isn't a narrow access nor dielectric machine. I didn't need either of those things for the vast majority of my work, and the SD64 excels with its reach, speed (ground and boom), capacity, maneuverability, portability, etc etc. This may be too off topic for this thread, maybe not.
I don't remember exactly, but last February-March my price on the Tracked Lifts 72' was $4500 or $7500 cheaper than what I paid for the SD64 at the end of March... Conviction.
