Flexibility is the key when it comes to the FR-E Series Electric extendable counterweight lift truck. Ideal for riggers and machinery movers, this extraordinary electric-powered machine provides a vast range of capacity options with just the push of a button. The innovative extendable counterweight frame is designed to provide stability at full capacity and extended load centers, yet is compact enough for maneuvering in confined areas. Stackable counterweights and a removable hydraulic boom with collapsible boom stand allow for ease of transport, while quick-change forks optimize efficiency. As with all Hoist Material Handling equipment, the FR-E Series is forged in the USA. More than 75% of each truck is manufactured at our Midwest factory with the remaining components sourced from reputable companies.
