MOFFETT E4 NX, part of the eSeries of electric forklifts, is 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 controllers and an 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 MOFFETT eSeries, currently available in four E4 NX models, is not only beneficial to the environment, but it is also comfortable and safer for the operator as it is virtually silent and has fewer 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 total cost of ownership is lower than the equivalent diesel model as it can be electrically charged and has reduced service costs. It is engineered with fewer moving parts, which reduces service time and spare parts costs.
The MOFFETT eSeries have in-built connectivity so that owners can access Hiab’s HiConnect. HiConnect 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.
