EKKO EK25T-Li Lithium Powered Electric Forklift – 5,000 lb Capacity with 185" Lift Height
The EKKO EK25T-Li is a 5,000 lb capacity lithium-powered electric forklift engineered for demanding material handling, warehousing, and distribution operations. Built from high-quality steel with robotic welding, it delivers the structural integrity and precision needed for consistent, high-cycle use in industrial and commercial environments. With a maximum lift height of 185 inches (15.75 ft) and an 80V/202Ah lithium battery system, this unit is purpose-built for contractors and trades professionals who need reliable, zero-emission lifting performance on the job.
Unlike conventional lead-acid electric forklifts, the EK25T-Li uses an advanced lithium battery platform paired with an Inmotion AC drive controller, providing more consistent power delivery throughout the charge cycle. The inclusion of Cascade® side shift and a Shimadzu® 4-Way Valve (Pre-Plumbed) sets it apart with premium branded hydraulic components that support precision load placement and future auxiliary attachment readiness.
Key Features & Benefits
80V / 202Ah Lithium Battery with 80V / 100A Onboard Charger
The lithium battery system offers a higher energy density and longer usable life compared to lead-acid alternatives, reducing downtime between charges. The included 80V/100A charger enables faster recharge cycles, keeping the machine productive across multiple shifts. Lithium chemistry also eliminates battery watering and acid maintenance requirements common with lead-acid units.
5,000 lb Load Capacity at 24" Load Center
Rated for 5,000 lbs at a 24-inch load center, this forklift handles heavy palletized materials, construction supplies, and industrial goods with confidence. The 42-inch fork length and fork size of 42.1 x 4.8 x 1.5 inches are dimensioned for standard pallet compatibility across common jobsite and warehouse applications.
185" (15.75 ft) Lift Height with 43.7" Free Lift
A maximum lift height of 185 inches allows stacking and retrieval in high-bay rack systems. The 43.7-inch free lift enables raising loads without extending mast height, which is critical for operating in confined spaces with low overhead clearance.
Cascade® Side Shift
The factory-installed Cascade® side shift attachment allows lateral positioning of the forks without repositioning the entire machine, improving load placement accuracy and reducing cycle times. For contractors placing materials in tight or precise locations, this reduces operator fatigue and minimizes product damage.
Shimadzu® 4-Way Valve (Pre-Plumbed)
The Shimadzu® 4-way valve comes pre-plumbed, providing a ready infrastructure for adding hydraulic attachments without custom retrofitting. This gives contractors the flexibility to expand the forklift's utility as operational needs evolve.
Inmotion AC Drive Controller
The Inmotion controller manages AC motor performance with precision, delivering smooth acceleration, responsive braking, and efficient power use across varying load conditions. AC drive systems generally require less maintenance than DC systems due to the elimination of brush contacts in the motor.
Solid Pneumatic Tires
Solid pneumatic tires provide the cushioning and traction characteristics of air-filled tires without the risk of flats, making them well-suited for both indoor warehouse floors and outdoor job sites with debris or uneven surfaces.
Steel Construction with Robotic Welding
The frame is fabricated from high-quality steel using robotic welding processes, ensuring consistent weld quality and structural integrity throughout the chassis. This construction approach is designed to withstand the repeated impacts and directional changes inherent in high-cycle material handling operations.
Hydraulic Floor Pedal Service Brake
The hydraulic floor pedal service brake provides reliable, consistent stopping power under loaded and unloaded conditions. Hydraulic actuation delivers progressive braking response, which is important when handling loads at height or maneuvering in congested work areas.
Common Applications
Warehouse Material Handling
The 5,000 lb capacity and 185-inch lift height make the EK25T-Li well-suited for loading and unloading palletized goods and stacking product in high-bay racking systems within distribution and storage warehouses.
Distribution Center Operations
The lithium battery system and Cascade® side shift support fast-paced order fulfillment environments where precise load placement and reduced charging downtime are operational priorities.
Construction Supply Yards
Solid pneumatic tires allow the EK25T-Li to operate on the varied surfaces typical of construction supply yards, handling heavy building materials, lumber, and bagged goods.
Loading Dock Operations
The forklift's overall dimensions, 62.9-inch wheelbase, and 45.2-inch overall width allow it to navigate standard loading dock environments while managing full-capacity pallet loads.
Indoor Industrial Facilities
As a zero-emission electric forklift, the EK25T-Li is appropriate for use in enclosed facilities where internal combustion engine emissions are not permissible, including manufacturing floors and food distribution environments.
Compatible Materials
- Standard palletized goods and boxed materials
- Heavy building materials (concrete blocks, bagged materials, lumber bundles)
- Industrial racking and shelving stock
- Bulk packaged construction supplies
- Distribution center inventory on standard 40"x48" pallets
- Machinery and equipment loads up to 5,000 lbs at 24" load center
