EKKO EP18Li Electric Walkie Pallet Jack — 4,000 lb LiFePO4-Powered Material Handling
The EKKO EP18Li is a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) electric walkie pallet jack designed for contractors, warehouse operators, and trades professionals who need reliable powered lifting and driving in demanding environments. With a 4,000 lb load capacity and compact fork profile, it handles the full range of standard pallet sizes across loading docks, stock rooms, manufacturing floors, and warehousing applications. Its electric drive and lift capabilities eliminate manual pumping effort, reducing fatigue during extended loading and unloading operations.
Unlike conventional lead-acid walkie pallet jacks, the EP18Li uses a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery with a built-in onboard charger — eliminating the need for a separate external charging station and reducing downtime between shifts. The robotic-welded steel construction delivers consistent weld quality throughout the frame, supporting the durability demands of daily commercial and industrial use.

Key Features & Benefits
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Battery
The 24V / 40Ah LiFePO4 battery chemistry provides stable power output and a longer service life compared to lead-acid alternatives. For contractors and warehouse teams running multiple shifts, this means more reliable uptime and lower long-term battery replacement costs.
Built-In Onboard Charger
The integrated charger eliminates the need to source, purchase, or transport a separate external charging unit. Operators can charge the unit wherever a standard outlet is accessible, making it practical for job sites and facilities without dedicated charging infrastructure.
Robotic Welded Steel Construction
Robotic welding produces consistent, high-strength welds throughout the frame, reducing the risk of stress failures under repeated heavy loads. This level of build quality supports the impact, directional changes, and varied terrain encountered in active construction and warehousing environments.
Polyurethane Drive Wheels
Polyurethane drive wheels provide durability on hard surfaces such as concrete and warehouse flooring while reducing floor marking and wear. They contribute to smooth, controlled operation during tight maneuvering in loading docks and stock rooms.
Ergonomic Handle and Controls
The ergonomic handle and control layout is designed to reduce operator fatigue during extended use. Intuitive control placement allows for confident operation during repetitive loading and unloading tasks.
Optional Backrest Accessory
An optional backrest is available for applications where load stability during transport is a priority. This accessory adds versatility for operations handling loads that require additional support.
Common Applications
Loading and Unloading Trucks
The 3.3" lowered height allows the forks to slide easily under standard pallets at truck bed level, while the electric drive handles the heavy pulling and pushing work on dock approaches.
Loading Docks
The EP18Li's compact fork size and powered drive make it well-suited for maneuvering palletized loads in the tight confines of loading dock areas.
Stock Rooms
Electric drive and lift enable efficient pallet movement in stock room aisles where manual jacks would slow productivity or create ergonomic strain over repeated cycles.
Manufacturing Floors
The durable steel construction and polyurethane wheels perform reliably on manufacturing floor surfaces, handling raw material and finished goods movement between work stations and staging areas.
Warehousing
With a 4,000 lb capacity and 27 x 48 in fork size, the EP18Li accommodates standard warehouse pallet configurations for general receiving, putaway, and order fulfillment tasks.
Compatible Materials
- Standard wood pallets (GMA and similar profiles compatible with 27 x 48 in forks)
- Plastic pallets
- Hard concrete floors
- Warehouse smooth-finish flooring
- Manufacturing floor surfaces
- Truck bed / loading dock surfaces
