Ekko 8,500 lb LPG Forklift – Solid Pneumatic Tires | EK40TLP

Need Heavyweight Power? Upgrade to the Ekko EK40TLP 8,500 lb LPG Forklift with Solid Pneumatic Tires for All‑Day Performance

Buying a bargain‑basement LPG forklift often means dealing with frequent breakdowns, poor fuel efficiency, and an uncomfortable ride that slows down every job. The Ekko  8,500 lb LPG forklift is built to banish those headaches. With its PSI 2.4 L engine meeting Tier 4 EPA standards, you’ll get reliable power and lower emissions. The optimized hydraulic system keeps fuel consumption in check, so you spend less at the pump and more on moving product. And thanks to its 185″ maximum lift height, you can stack pallets farther and higher without sacrificing stability.

Comfort matters when you’re behind the controls all day. That’s why Ekko Lifts equipped the EK40TLP with a semi‑suspension seat, a compact steering wheel, and an enlarged operator space under an arc‑shaped overhead guard. Vibration‑absorbing cushion connections and a whole‑cab suspension soak up shocks from uneven floors. Plus, the electro‑hydraulic direction switch feels intuitive—just like driving a car—so you’ll breeze through tight aisles with a 70.8″ wheelbase and small turning radius.

Durability and precision go hand in hand on the EK40TLP. Its Cascade® Side Shift and factory‑pre‑plumbed Shimadzu® 4‑Way Valve let you make micro‑adjustments without moving the entire truck. The lowering damping device inside the mast cuts noise and jolts when goods settle back on the ground. Solid pneumatic tires mean fewer flats and long wear—indoors or out. In short, this 8,500 lb forklift gives you the performance of a heavyweight while maintaining the control of a nimble champion—all at a competitive price.

Key Features of the Ekko EK40TLP Forklift You’ll Love:

• Tier 4 EPA‑Compliant PSI Engine: Every shift starts and ends with clean, dependable power. The 2.4 L LPG engine is CARB 4–compliant, cutting emissions without cutting performance. Plus, fuel‑efficiency improvements mean you’ll go longer between fill‑ups, boosting uptime and lowering operating costs.

• Ergonomic Semi‑Suspension Seat & Tight Wheelbase: Long shifts feel shorter when you’re comfortable. The cab’s semi‑suspension seat and small steering wheel reduce fatigue, while the 70.8″ wheelbase and arc‑shaped overhead guard give you room to see and flexibility to maneuver—meaning faster, safer work in crowded warehouses.

• Optimized Hydraulic System with Damping Device: Smooth lifts and gentle placements are standard. The hydraulic system is tuned for energy efficiency, reducing fuel draw. Inside the mast, the damping device softens the shock of goods landing, cutting noise and preventing damage to delicate loads.

• Cascade® Side Shift & Shimadzu® 4‑Way Valve: Fine‑tune fork positioning without repositioning the truck. Slide loads laterally or tilt them for perfect placement in tight racks and uneven stacks.

• Solid Pneumatic Tires for All‑Surface Durability: Say goodbye to flats and constant tire changes. These solid pneumatic tires roll over debris and rough pavement without punctures, delivering the traction and shock absorption of air‑filled tires with the peace of mind of a maintenance‑free solution.
