The EKKO EK40T-Li is a 4-wheel lithium-powered electric counterbalanced forklift designed for heavy-duty material handling, warehousing, and distribution operations requiring a high-capacity zero-emission unit for continuous multi-shift use. Rated for 8,000 lbs at a 24-inch load center with a maximum lift height of 185 inches, the unit is powered by an 80V / 230Ah lithium-ion battery and controlled by an Inmotion AC drive system for responsive, low-maintenance electric operation. Standard equipment includes Cascade side shift, Shimadzu 4-way hydraulic valve pre-plumbed, solid pneumatic tires, and a hydraulic floor pedal brake, making this model suited for high-volume distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and operations transitioning from combustion forklifts to lithium-electric alternatives. The steel frame is constructed with robotic welding and backed by a 3-year limited warranty.
