Buying the wrong material handling gear can really slow your operation, chew up valuable time, and rack up repair bills. That’s why the Ekko Lifts 4,000 lb Stand‑Up Rider Forklift (EK18RFL) is built to tackle your toughest loads head‑on. This Rider Forklift packs a hearty 4,000 lb capacity and a 189" lift height so you can load trailers and stock high racks without breaking a sweat.

When you’re juggling docks, stock rooms, and tight‑aisle work, you need reliability you can count on. The EK18RFL’s steel frame and robotic welding stand up to impacts, quick turns, and directional changes. Adjustable, side‑shifting forks (9.4"–35.6") give you the flexibility to handle odd‑sized pallets. Plus, the Curtis instrument controller puts precise control right at your fingertips.
