Ekko 3,500 lb Electric Forklift – 177" Max Lift Height | EK16A-177

Need Agile Power? Upgrade to the Ekko EK16A‑177 3,500 lb Electric 3‑Wheel Forklift for Compact‑Aisle Dominance

When space is tight and efficiency matters, choosing the wrong Electric forklift can bring your operation to a standstill. Narrow aisles become bottlenecks, unstable lifts wobble under load, and constant downtime eats into your bottom line. That’s why the Ekko 3,500 lb Electric forklift is engineered to conquer small aisles, limited spaces, and heavy workloads with confidence and control. Built from high‑quality steel with robotic welding and equipped with a 3.3 kW AC lift motor, this forklift handles up to 3,500 lb loads while reaching a towering 177" lift height. And thanks to cushioned tires and hydraulic power steering, you’ll breeze through loading docks and stockrooms without breaking a sweat.

Beyond raw lifting power, operators need smooth, consistent performance. Jerky motions and sluggish response compromise safety and slow you down. The Zapi controller and 2.2 kW AC drive motor deliver precise acceleration, steady travel speeds, and effortless maneuvering—so whether you’re unloading trucks or stacking pallets on manufacturing floors, you’ll stay in the flow. With adjustable forks (7.9–26"), side shift capability, and a 29.5" free‑lift mast, this forklift adapts to a variety of pallet sizes and shelving heights without sacrificing stability or speed.

Maintenance downtime is the enemy of productivity, and unexpected repairs can derail schedules. That’s why the EK16A‑177 comes with a heavy‑duty 24 V/320 Ah battery, onboard charger (24 V/50 A), and standardized components that service technicians know inside and out. You’ll spend less time troubleshooting and more time moving materials. For businesses seeking a reliable, high‑performance fork truck that maximizes uptime and minimizes operating costs, this Ekko forklift checks every box—every time you hit the “up” button.

Great choice for many applications — but if you need something else, explore more forklifts.

Key Features of the Ekko EK16A‑177 Forklift You’ll Love:

• High‑Capacity Lift System: The 3.3 kW AC lift motor pairs with a robust mast assembly to effortlessly hoist up to 3,500 lb. Smooth lifting speeds of 4.71 in/s (laden) and rapid free lowering at 15.7 in/s keep your workflow moving without hiccups. Precision control means steady placement of loads at heights up to 177", perfect for racking in tight warehouses.

• Compact 3‑Wheel Design: At only 42.1" wide and a 58.9" turning radius, this 3500 lb forklift excels in cramped aisles and confined loading areas. The nimble three‑wheel configuration lets you pivot on a dime, reducing the risk of accidental impacts. Operators experience improved visibility and tighter maneuvering, boosting safety and throughput.

• Advanced Control Electronics: Equipped with a Zapi controller, the EK16A‑177 delivers seamless acceleration and regenerative braking for energy efficiency. Programmable settings allow you to tailor speed profiles and lift curves to your facility’s needs. The result is consistent performance, reduced wear on components, and lower maintenance costs over time.

• Ergonomic Operator Environment: Hydraulic power steering and cushioned seating minimize operator fatigue during long shifts. Adjustable fork widths (7.9–26") and side‑shift capability mean less twisting and reaching when handling irregular loads. Intuitive control levers position naturally under the operator’s right hand, ensuring quick, precise adjustments without strain.

• All‑Inclusive Power Package: A 24 V/320 Ah battery and onboard 24 V/50 A charger come standard, so your forklift is ready to roll out of the box. The battery’s high‑density cells deliver consistent voltage under heavy loads, while the charger’s integrated cooling prolongs battery life. Fewer external dependencies mean less downtime and simpler fleet management.

• Durable Construction: Built from high‑tensile steel and reinforced with robotic welds, this forklift stands up to daily impacts, directional shifts, and demanding warehouse environments. Sealed motors and controllers resist dust and moisture, lowering the risk of electrical faults. Rugged components translate to sustained performance and maximum uptime.
