EKKO EPF18Li Full-Powered Lithium Electric Walkie Pallet Jack — 4,000 lb Capacity with LiFePO4 Battery
The EKKO EPF18Li is a full-powered lithium electric walkie pallet jack engineered for contractors and trades professionals who require reliable powered lifting and driving in demanding environments. With a 4,000 lb load capacity and a 24V Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery system, it delivers consistent performance across loading docks, stock rooms, manufacturing floors, and warehouse applications. Its compact fork profile and low lowered height of 2.95" allow it to slide under standard pallets with ease.
Unlike conventional lead-acid walkie pallet jacks, the EPF18Li eliminates watering, equalization charges, and battery acid maintenance by using a sealed LiFePO4 battery that ships included with the unit along with a charger — ready to deploy out of the box. The robotic-welded steel construction and polyurethane wheels are built to withstand varied terrain, heavy usage, impact, and frequent directional changes that are common on active job sites.

Key Features & Benefits
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Battery System
The included 24V/40Ah LiFePO4 battery offers a maintenance-free alternative to lead-acid units — no watering, no acid, no equalization cycles. For contractors running multi-shift operations, this translates directly to less downtime and lower ongoing battery maintenance costs.
Full-Powered Lifting and Driving
The EPF18Li provides both powered lift and powered drive, meaning operators are not manually pushing loaded pallets across dock floors or warehouse aisles. This reduces operator fatigue on long shifts and enables faster load movement across larger facilities.
Robotic-Welded Steel Construction
The frame is fabricated from high-quality steel with robotic welding for consistent, high-strength weld joints throughout. This level of build quality is critical on job sites where the machine faces regular impacts, heavy loads, and constant directional changes.
Polyurethane Wheels
Polyurethane wheels provide a durable, non-marking rolling surface suitable for a wide range of flooring types encountered in warehousing, manufacturing, and loading dock environments. They resist wear better than standard rubber wheels under sustained heavy-load use.
Pinwheel Capability
Pinwheel capability allows the jack to rotate tightly in confined spaces, making it practical for narrow aisles, tight dock positions, and stock rooms where maneuvering space is limited.
Ergonomic Handle and Controls
The ergonomic handle and control layout reduces operator strain during extended use. For contractors and warehouse managers concerned with operator productivity and comfort, intuitive controls also shorten the learning curve for new operators.
Charger and Battery Included
The EPF18Li ships as a complete, ready-to-use package — charger and LiFePO4 battery included. This eliminates the need to source compatible charging equipment separately, reducing procurement complexity and upfront cost.
Common Applications
Loading and Unloading Trucks
The low 2.95" lowered height allows the forks to enter standard pallet openings at truck bed level, and the powered drive moves loaded pallets on and off trailers without manual pushing effort.
Loading Docks
At busy loading docks, the EPF18Li's full-powered drive and lift reduce cycle times when staging or relocating palletized loads between dock doors and storage positions.
Stock Rooms
In stock room environments where aisles may be narrow and turns frequent, the pinwheel capability and compact form factor allow efficient navigation and pallet repositioning.
Manufacturing Floors
On manufacturing floors with varied surface conditions, the durable steel construction and polyurethane wheels handle terrain changes and directional shifts without compromising performance.
Warehousing
For general warehousing operations, the 4,000 lb capacity and powered drive make the EPF18Li a practical daily-use tool for moving standard palletized goods between receiving, storage, and shipping areas.
Compatible Materials
- Standard wood pallets
- Plastic pallets
- Metal/steel pallets
- Concrete and sealed warehouse floors
- Dock plates and dock levelers
- Smooth manufacturing floor surfaces
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the EPF18Li come with a battery and charger, or are those purchased separately?
A: Both are included. The unit ships with one LiFePO4 24V/40Ah battery and a compatible charger at no additional cost.
Q: What type of battery does the EPF18Li use, and why does it matter?
A: It uses a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery. Unlike lead-acid batteries, LiFePO4 requires no watering or equalization maintenance, making it better suited to operations where battery upkeep time and cost are a concern.
Q: What is the maximum load capacity?
A: The EPF18Li is rated for 4,000 lb.
Q: Can the EPF18Li maneuver in tight spaces?
A: Yes. The unit includes pinwheel capability, which allows it to rotate in confined areas such as narrow stock room aisles or tight dock staging areas.
Q: What warranty is provided?
A: The EPF18Li is covered by a 3 Years Limited Warranty.
