NOBLELIFT FE4C65 — 6,500-Lb Cushion-Tire Lithium Forklift

The NOBLELIFT FE4C65 is a 6,500-lb lithium-electric cushion-tire forklift designed specifically for indoor warehouse applications and other operations with hard, smooth floors.

Combining an 80V lithium-iron-phosphate battery, AC drive technology, regenerative braking and a compact four-wheel design, the FE4C65 delivers high performance with low operating and maintenance requirements.

Its cushion-tire configuration and compact design make it particularly well suited for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers and other indoor environments where maneuverability and efficient use of floor space are important.

Designed for Indoor Applications

The FE4C50 is designed specifically for indoor applications and hard, smooth surfaces. Typical applications include:

• Warehouses
• Distribution centers
• Manufacturing facilities
• Production plants
• Shipping and receiving areas
• Indoor loading operations
• Industrial facilities with smooth concrete floors
• High-volume indoor material handling

Unlike a pneumatic-tire forklift designed for greater surface versatility, the FE4C50's cushion tires are optimized for smooth indoor floors and confined operating areas.

For customers who regularly need to operate outdoors on paved yards or uneven surfaces, a pneumatic-tire forklift such as the NOBLELIFT ALPHA 50 Li may be a better choice.

6,500-Lb Lifting Capacity

The FE4C65 provides a published 6,500-lb rated capacity at a 24-inch load center.

The standard fork length is 42 inches, with available mast configurations ranging from approximately 98.4 inches to 275.6 inches of lift height depending on configuration.

Two-, three- and four-stage mast configurations are available.

80V Lithium-Iron-Phosphate Battery

The FE4C65 uses an 80V / 412Ah lithium-iron-phosphate battery as its standard battery configuration.

Lithium-ion technology eliminates many of the routine maintenance requirements associated with conventional flooded lead-acid batteries while providing consistent electric performance.

NOBLELIFT's lithium battery system incorporates a battery management system and thermal management system designed to monitor charging and discharging throughout the battery's life cycle.

Fast Charging and Opportunity Charging

One of the biggest advantages of the FE4C65 is its fast-charging capability.

NOBLELIFT states that the lithium-iron battery can be fully charged in approximately 2 hours and can be opportunity charged during operator breaks and shift changes.

This allows the forklift to remain productive through multi-shift operations without requiring routine battery changes.

The published standard charger configuration is 80V / 200A, with 208–240V or 480V three-phase electrical requirements.

Regenerative Braking

The FE4C65 incorporates regenerative braking, helping increase operating time per charge while providing smooth control during operation.

Combined with the lithium power system, regenerative braking is designed to improve overall energy efficiency and productivity.

Compact Design and 360° Zero-Turning Capability

The FE4C65's compact design allows for a 360° zero-turning radius, according to NOBLELIFT.

This makes the forklift particularly useful in confined indoor spaces where maneuverability and efficient use of floor space are important.

The published turning radius is approximately 80.7 inches for the FE4C65.

Integrated Side Shift

The FE4C65 comes equipped with side shift, allowing the operator to move the fork carriage laterally to position loads without repositioning the entire forklift.

Side shift is particularly useful when placing pallets into racks, aligning loads and working in confined warehouse environments.

Operator-Focused Design

The FE4C50 is designed around operator comfort and visibility. Features include:

• Deluxe suspension seat
• Adjustable steering column
• Large ergonomic operator compartment
• Low entrance height
• Wide-view mast
• Multi-function color LCD display
• Selectable performance modes
• On-demand fully hydrostatic power steering
• Spinner steering knob
• Operator Presence System

The suspension seat is designed to reduce vibration and operator fatigue during extended shifts.

Advanced Monitoring and Diagnostics

The FE4C65 incorporates NOBLELIFT's InMotion CAN-bus control system, which monitors and regulates key forklift functions. The system provides:

• On-board diagnostics
• Fault monitoring
• Battery discharge information
• Hour meter
• Travel direction
• Steering information
• Selectable operating modes

The forklift also features wireless 4G battery monitoring, allowing remote battery programming and troubleshooting.

Safety Features

The FE4C65 includes multiple operator and equipment safety systems. Features include:

• Operator Presence System
• Automatic deceleration while turning
• Safety belt restraint warning
• Intelligent lowering/buffering
• Safety blue light
• LED headlights
• Rear work lights
• Warning/strobe lights
• Rear grab bar with horn

The Operator Presence System automatically disables travel and locks hydraulic lift and tilt functions when the operator is not seated.

Easy Maintenance

The FE4C65 is designed to simplify routine service and maintenance.

Removable side panels provide convenient access to service components while helping protect internal components from water and dust.

The forklift also uses CAN-bus technology for easier troubleshooting and incorporates wireless 4G battery monitoring.

Lithium Battery Warranty

NOBLELIFT's published FE4C50-65 brochure states a 10-year or 20,000-hour warranty on the lithium-iron battery.

Warranty terms applicable to equipment purchased through Performance Systems should be confirmed at the time of purchase.
