The EKKO EK18RF is a stand-up rider electric forklift designed for warehouses, loading docks, stock rooms, and manufacturing facilities requiring a compact, high-reach unit with an 18-foot maximum lift height and 4,000 lb. rated capacity. 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 well suited for standard and tight-aisle layouts. The unit features side-shifting forks adjustable from 9.4 to 35.6 in., a 61.34 in. free lift height, solid cushion load tires, and polyurethane drive tires, with a battery, charger, and 3-year limited warranty all included standard. The robotically welded steel frame and low 70 dB(A) operator noise rating support extended-shift operation in demanding indoor environments.
