Hiab, part of Cargotec, has launched the MOFFETT E4 NX, an all electric 3-wheel drive truck mounted forklift.
Inside the chassis of a MOFFETT M4, Hiab has constructed a zero-emission truck mounted forklift powered by lithium ion batteries with new controllers and the new HMI (Human Machine Interface) that displays battery capacity, machine performance and service information. The MOFFETT can be charged from a regular household socket or a 30 amp socket for faster charging, as well as from the truck in between deliveries.
The new MOFFETT eSeries is currently available in four E4 NX models with more being added. It is virtually silent and has less vibrations than a diesel powered truck. The low noise means it can be operated without earplugs, allowing the driver to both see and hear danger. It can also be operated at night-time and deliver the cargo inside warehouses.
The MOFFETT eSeries have in-built connectivity so that owners can access Hiab’s HiConnect, which monitors over 100 machine parameters. Some are displayed on the HMI while the full range of data are available from the HiConnect web portal. Parameters range from battery capacity to delivery route and time, driver safety and service notifications.
