The 1.5 Ton Electric Forklift
The best 1.5 ton forklift you can buy here runs on lithium: unmatched efficiency and durability, with none of the battery maintenance a lead acid machine brings. Our products and services are used by the leading hotel groups in the Dominican Republic.
Noblelift FE4P16Q
1.5 Ton Forklift Specifications
At 3,050 mm long with a 1,990 mm turning radius, this is the machine for work that happens in tight space: hotel back of house, laundry and beverage pallets, supermarket stock rooms, and light warehouse duty. It is the smallest counterbalanced forklift we sell, and for single pallets under 1,600 kg it is usually all the machine you need.
Mast options run from 2,500 mm to 6,500 mm, with two stage and three stage full free view masts, and a side shift fork is available. We configure the mast, the forks and the battery around the work the machine will actually do, so send us your load, your lift height and your aisle width and we will specify it and send the full datasheet.

Why Buy Your Forklift at Eco Planeta?
We have sold, rented and serviced electric material handling equipment in the Dominican Republic since 2011. That means the machine and the support behind it come from the same place.
Lithium as standard
Every Noblelift machine we sell runs on lithium. Opportunity charging during breaks, no watering, no battery room, and no acid handling. A lead acid fleet needs a swap bay and a maintenance routine. A lithium fleet needs a socket.
Five stores, one country
Casa de Campo, Cap Cana, Bayahibe, Puerto Plata and Santo Domingo. Wherever your warehouse, hotel or plant sits, a technician and a parts counter are within reach.
The biggest parts inventory in the country
Downtime costs more than the repair. We hold the largest stock of electric vehicle and material handling parts in the Dominican Republic, so most jobs are done without waiting on an import.
Technicians who come to you
Our mobile technicians service forklifts on site. No loading a machine on a truck to get a brake adjustment or a scheduled service done.
Warranty backed by Noblelift
Machines carry a one year warranty and the lithium battery is covered for five years. Noblelift is one of the largest material handling manufacturers in the world and a publicly listed company.
Financing in US dollars
Spread the purchase over 6, 12 or 24 months through Banco Popular Dominicano with a 15% downpayment. Quotes are prepared by us and submitted to the bank on your behalf.
Noblelift Technology in the 1.6 Tonne Machine
Low operating costs
The machine runs on lithium, and electricity costs considerably less to run than diesel, LP gas or petrol. With fewer moving parts to wear or fail, the service life is longer and repairs are less frequent. The main components sit where a technician can reach them, so servicing is quick and needs no special tools or long periods off the floor.
Low centre of gravity
The drive system uses a fan shaped horizontal drive axle arranged in parallel, which gives a high transmission coefficient. The battery sits at the bottom of the frame, lowering the centre of gravity and improving stability. Overall height is 2,080 mm, so the machine passes through low doorways that a taller truck cannot.
Operator ergonomics
The controls are laid out clearly on the dash, which keeps operation smooth and predictable. The operator has good visibility all around the machine, which matters for safety in a busy aisle. The design also keeps noise and vibration down, which is felt by the operator and by everyone working nearby.

1.5 Ton Forklift FAQ
Is 1,600 kg enough for standard pallets?
For most single pallets it is. A loaded euro pallet in food, beverage or hospitality work typically runs between 500 kg and 1,200 kg, which leaves margin. If you regularly handle drums, cement or stone, step up to the 2 ton or 2.5 ton model.
How much does the 1.5 ton forklift weigh?
The Noblelift FE4P16Q has a service weight of 2,940 kg, without a load on the forks. That figure matters for floor loading, for lift and ramp ratings, and for arranging transport, so check it against your site before the machine arrives.
How high does it lift?
Standard lift height is 3,000 mm. Taller masts are available up to 6,500 mm in two stage and three stage full free view versions. Tell us your top beam height and we will pick the mast.
How long does the battery last on one charge?
A full charge typically covers a normal shift. Because the batteries are lithium, they can also be topped up during breaks without shortening their life, so two and three shift operations usually run on a single battery rather than a spare pack.
What does maintenance look like?
There is no engine, no oil change and no battery watering. Scheduled service covers brakes, hydraulics, mast, chains and tyres, and our mobile technicians carry it out on your site.
Can it work outdoors?
Yes, on hard even surfaces such as concrete and asphalt yards, and our machines are used that way daily in the Dominican Republic. Rough terrain and unpaved ground call for a different machine, such as a telehandler.
Can I rent a 1.5 ton forklift instead of buying one?
Yes. Rental is available across the Dominican Republic for short and long term projects, with delivery to your site. Send us your dates and we will confirm availability.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Forklifts can be financed in US dollars through Banco Popular Dominicano over 6, 12 or 24 months with a 15% downpayment. We prepare the quote and submit it to the bank for you.
