4-Wheel Electric Lithium Forklift — 4,000 lb Capacity with 185" Lift Height

EKKO EK20GT-Li 4-Wheel Electric Lithium Forklift — 4,000 lb Capacity with 185" Lift Height

The EKKO EK20GT-Li is a seated, 4-wheel electric lithium forklift engineered for demanding material handling operations in warehouses, manufacturing floors, loading docks, and stock rooms. With a 4,000 lb load capacity and a maximum lift height of 185 inches (15.4 feet), it delivers the reach and power contractors and trades professionals need to move heavy loads efficiently. Powered by an 80V / 205Ah lithium battery and controlled by an InMotion® controller, this machine is built for consistent, high-cycle performance in commercial and industrial environments.

Unlike lead-acid alternatives, the EK20GT-Li's lithium battery platform eliminates watering and acid maintenance while delivering reliable power throughout the shift. Solid pneumatic tires, a hydraulic foot pedal service brake, and steel construction with robotic welding set this unit apart from lighter-duty electric forklifts in its class.

Key Features & Benefits

80V / 205Ah Lithium Battery System

The lithium battery delivers consistent voltage output across the discharge cycle, helping maintain stable lift and drive performance throughout the workday. For contractors running multiple shifts, the optional 3-phase 480V charger (with 220V and 110V options available) provides flexible charging solutions on varied job sites.

InMotion® Controller

The InMotion® controller governs drive and lift functions for precise, responsive handling in tight spaces and high-traffic work areas. This system supports the forklift's equal laden and unladen traveling speed of 9.3 mph, keeping productivity consistent whether the forks are loaded or empty.

Cascade® Side Shift

The factory-installed Cascade® side shift allows operators to laterally adjust fork position without repositioning the entire machine, reducing cycle times when aligning loads to pallets or rack positions. This is a standard inclusion on the EK20GT-Li, not an add-on cost.

Shimadzu® 4-Way Valve (Pre-Plumbed)

The Shimadzu® 4-way valve comes pre-plumbed from the factory, simplifying attachment integration for operations that require specialized tooling beyond the standard fork configuration. This reduces field modification time for contractors setting up the unit for specific tasks.

Solid Pneumatic Tires

Solid pneumatic tires provide the cushioning of a pneumatic profile without the risk of flats, making them suitable for both smooth warehouse floors and rougher surface conditions found on active job sites. This tire type also reduces long-term maintenance compared to air-filled alternatives.

Steel Construction with Robotic Welding

The EK20GT-Li is built from high-quality steel using robotic welding processes, producing consistent, high-integrity weld joints throughout the frame. This construction approach is designed to withstand heavy usage, impacts, and frequent directional changes inherent to busy material handling environments.

Ergonomic Seated Operation

The seated driving mode with ergonomic handle and controls reduces operator fatigue during extended shifts, supporting sustained productivity on high-volume loading docks and warehouse floors. The hydraulic foot pedal service brake delivers confident, controlled stopping across operating conditions.

Common Applications

Loading Dock Operations

The EK20GT-Li's 4,000 lb capacity and 138.9-inch length with forks make it well-suited for loading and unloading trucks at commercial loading docks, handling standard pallet configurations efficiently.

Warehouse Racking

With a maximum lift height of 185 inches and 43.7 inches of free lift, the forklift can access elevated rack positions while maintaining visibility and clearance in standard warehouse aisle configurations.

Manufacturing Floor Material Handling

The forklift's solid pneumatic tires and robust steel frame are built to handle the demands of active manufacturing environments, including frequent load cycles and varied floor surfaces.

Stock Room Replenishment

The 86.2-inch minimum outside turning radius and 45.2-inch overall width allow the EK20GT-Li to maneuver within stock room layouts where space is limited but throughput demands remain high.

Truck Loading

The combination of a 185-inch lift height, Cascade® side shift, and 4,000 lb capacity makes this unit effective for loading freight onto flatbed and enclosed trailer platforms at grade or dock height.

Compatible Materials

• Palletized freight and packaged goods
• Steel and metal components
