EKKO EP18JLi Electric Walkie Pallet Jack – 4000 lb Lithium Iron Phosphate Powered Material Handling
The EKKO EP18JLi is a 24V Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) electric walkie pallet jack rated for 4,000 lb load capacity, purpose-built for contractors, warehouse operators, and trades professionals who need reliable powered material handling across demanding environments. It delivers full power lifting and driving capabilities in a compact walkie form factor, making it equally effective on loading docks, manufacturing floors, stockrooms, and distribution centers. The unit ships complete with battery and charger, allowing immediate deployment without additional procurement.
Unlike lead-acid powered alternatives, the EP18JLi uses a LiFePO4 24V/40Ah battery, which offers a longer cycle life and eliminates the maintenance overhead associated with flooded lead-acid cells. The robotic welded steel construction and polyurethane wheels are engineered to withstand repeated impact, directional changes, and varied terrain conditions encountered in active job site and warehouse environments.

Key Features & Benefits
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Battery
The integrated 24V/40Ah LiFePO4 battery provides a stable power supply throughout the discharge cycle without the watering, equalization, or ventilation requirements of lead-acid alternatives. For contractors running multi-shift operations, this translates to lower daily maintenance demands and reduced downtime between charges.
4,000 lb Load Capacity
Rated to handle 4,000 lb, this unit is suited for moving full standard pallets of construction materials, equipment, or supply stock without requiring a full rider forklift. The high capacity makes it viable for loading dock operations and heavy supply staging work where manual jacks are insufficient.
Robotic Welded Steel Construction
The steel frame is assembled using robotic welding, delivering consistent weld quality and structural integrity across every unit. This construction approach is designed to withstand the repeated impact and directional changes common in active warehouse and job site environments.
Polyurethane Wheels
Polyurethane wheels resist wear on hard surface floors and provide reliable traction across concrete, tile, and smooth warehouse flooring. Their non-marking characteristic is an advantage in finished-floor environments such as retail stockrooms or clean manufacturing facilities.
Pinwheel Capability
Pinwheel capability allows the unit to rotate in tight spaces, making it practical for maneuvering in congested stockrooms, narrow truck trailers, or space-constrained loading docks where turning radius is a limiting factor.
Ergonomic Handle and Controls
The ergonomic handle and integrated controls are designed to reduce operator fatigue during extended use. Accessible, intuitive controls allow the operator to manage lifting, lowering, and directional movement without awkward repositioning.
Charger and Battery Included
The EP18JLi ships with both the LiFePO4 battery and charger included, eliminating the need to source compatible charging equipment separately. This allows for immediate commissioning upon delivery.
Common Applications
Loading and Unloading Trucks
The low lowered height of 2.95 in allows the forks to slide under standard pallets in truck beds, while the powered drive eliminates the physical effort of manually pulling loaded pallets across trailer floors.
Loading Dock Operations
The EP18JLi is well-suited for continuous loading dock use where pallets must be moved efficiently between truck level and dock level staging areas across multiple cycles per shift.
Stockroom Material Movement
In stockroom environments where aisle space is limited, the pinwheel capability and compact walkie form factor allow operators to navigate tight layouts while moving full pallet loads.
Manufacturing Floor Material Handling
On manufacturing floors where raw materials or finished goods must be transported between workstations or staging areas, the EP18JLi provides powered movement without the footprint of a full counterbalanced forklift.
Warehousing and Distribution
For general warehousing applications involving pallet receiving, putaway, and order staging, the 4,000 lb capacity and powered drive handle standard pallet weights across typical warehouse floor surfaces.
Compatible Materials
- Standard wood pallets
- Plastic pallets
- Steel pallets
- Concrete flooring
- Smooth warehouse and industrial flooring
- Tile and finished hard surface floors
