Noblelift A Series

The A Series is a universal platform for electric and IC trucks, built with wide use of classic IC components, so the lithium models share their architecture with the IC trucks. The IC models in our range are diesel. Spec tables for the 4 t to 18 t IC trucks list engine options from builders including Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Volvo and Weichai, each with its own emission rating. A new diesel truck placed on the market in Great Britain or Northern Ireland generally needs an engine with Stage V emissions type approval, so confirm the engine option and its emission stage when you enquire. See diesel and LPG forklifts and heavy-duty forklifts.

Noblelift N Series

The N Series is built for indoor use on a compact chassis, with lead-acid or lithium batteries and optional side battery extraction. The smallest, the 0.8 t FE3R08N, has a 1,160 mm turning radius. See three-wheel forklifts and electric forklifts.

Noblelift Q Series

The Q Series is Noblelift's performance lithium-powered line. Its spec tables list lithium batteries at 48 V or 76.8 V, and some models are also listed in lead-acid versions and in versions labelled permanent magnet. See lithium forklifts.

Noblelift C Series

The C Series covers compact trucks on cushion (solid) tyres, designed around a compact size for manoeuvrability. The three-wheel FE3D16/18/20C turns in 1,570 mm to 1,700 mm. The four-wheel models are rated at 2,270 kg and 2,950 kg (5,000 lb and 6,500 lb). Their spec tables give these ratings in pounds without stating a load centre, so confirm the load centre when you compare them with other trucks.

Is Noblelift any good?

A fair question for any brand you have not run before. Judge it on facts you can check:

• Noblelift has made material handling equipment since 2000 and has been publicly listed since 2015.
• Model pages carry spec tables with figures such as rated capacity, lift height and turning radius, so you can compare trucks against your own requirements.
• Lithium options appear in all four series, from 48 V on the 1.6 t FE3R16NC to 608 V on the 14 t to 18 t A Series lithium trucks.
• Whether a truck suits you depends on your loads, lift heights, aisles and shifts, which is what the survey stage is for.
