Key Features of the Ekko EK18RF-Li Forklift You’ll Love:

• High-Capacity Lithium Power: This Rider Forklift uses a 48V/350Ah lithium battery that charges quickly with the included 440V three-phase charger. You’ll get extended run times without the constant pit stops of traditional lead-acid packs. Plus, lithium technology maintains consistent performance across shifts, so you can trust it when deadlines are tight.

• Precision German AC Drive: The German AC drive motor delivers smooth, responsive power from standstill to full speed. You’ll notice instant torque when lifting heavy loads or moving up ramps. Combined with hydraulic steering, it lets operators navigate narrow aisles and crowded docks without second-guessing their moves.

• Ergonomic Curtis Controller: All controls sit on an easy-reach handle with the Curtis instrument controller, so you reduce wrist strain and move intuitively through tasks. The display shows battery level, hours, and error codes at a glance. It’s like having a built-in assistant that keeps you informed and in control.

• Adjustable Forks & Side-Shift: Whether you’re handling odd-sized pallets or standard skids, the forks adjust from 9.4" to 35.6" and shift laterally for perfect alignment. That flexibility cuts down on manual adjustments and speeds up loading. You’ll spend less time fiddling and more time moving product.

• Rugged Construction: Built from heavy-gauge steel and robotic-welded for maximum strength, this stand-up rider stands up to daily abuse. Solid cushion and polyurethane drive tires resist punctures and deliver consistent traction. It’s an investment in reliability that keeps maintenance costs low.

• Safety-First Design: With a low center of gravity and overhead guard height of 90.08 in, you get unparalleled stability and operator protection. The service brake is hydraulic for fail-safe stopping, and the noise level stays under 70 dB(A) to help maintain a safer, more comfortable warehouse environment.
