Noblelift North America has launched its HERO Lithium-ion Task Support Vehicle which, it says, “bridges the gap” in light materials handling equipment.

The 700 lb. (318kg) capacity vehicle is lithium powered and designed for light materials loads and elevated work tasks, doing the work which can’t be done by forklifts, tuggers, order pickers and ladders, Noblelift says.

With a low profile design, it has been built to enter elevators and clear standard doorways while able to lift an operator to a height of 180 in. (4.6m) and work at heights of more than 252 in. (6.4m).

HERO has four steering modes - normal front, normal rear, cloud walking (side-to-side motion), and zero point turning.

HERO also has an extendable telescopic front tray, a fixed rear materials tray, a standard towing capability, and integrated operator compartment storage space for documents and pick tickets. 

A keyless PIN code panel with RFID card support, CAN-bus diagnostics, and a LCD display with real-time performance data, gives operators full control and visibility.

“The HERO is more than just another me too vehicle,” says Bill Pedriana, president at Noblelift North America. “It’s pure innovation designed to address changing needs in operations and empower workers to reach new levels of productivity.”
