The EKKO EK18RFL is a stand-up rider electric forklift designed for warehouses, loading docks, stock rooms, and manufacturing facilities requiring a compact, high-reach unit with a 189-inch maximum lift height and 4,000 lb. rated capacity at a 24-inch load center. Operating on a 48V / 420Ah industrial battery with a German AC drive motor, Curtis controller, and hydraulic steering, it delivers a travel speed of 12 km/h loaded and a minimum turning radius of 58.5 in., making it compatible with standard and tight-aisle warehouse configurations. The unit features side-shifting forks adjustable from 9.4 to 35.6 in., a 52.17 in. free lift height, solid cushion load tires, and polyurethane drive tires, with battery, charger, and a 3-year limited warranty all included standard. The EK18RFL uses the same proven drivetrain platform as the EK18RF with a reduced mast height suited for facilities with lower clearance requirements.
- 4,000 lb. Capacity with 189 in. Maximum Lift Height - Rated for 4,000 lbs at a 24 in. load center with a maximum lift height of 188.98 in. and a free lift height of 52.17 in. for operation in lower-clearance door and racking environments
- German AC Drive Motor with Hydraulic Steering - Powered by a 6 kW German AC drive motor and 7.7 kW lift motor with a Curtis controller and hydraulic steering system for smooth, responsive performance during continuous aisle cycles
- 58.5 in. Turning Radius with 10.5 ft. Aisle Requirement - The EK18RFL operates within a 10.5 ft. minimum aisle width and achieves a 58.5 in. turning radius, making it suitable for standard warehouse racking configurations without aisle modification
- Adjustable Side-Shifting Forks - Forks measure 1.58 in. thick x 4.72 in. wide x 45.28 in. long and adjust from 9.4 to 35.6 in. width with side shift for precise load placement without repositioning the truck
