EKKO EP30A-Li Lithium Rider Pallet Jack – 6,600 lb Capacity with Fast AC Drive
The EKKO EP30A-Li is a lithium-powered walkie rider pallet jack built for contractors and warehouse professionals who need full-powered lifting and driving capability in a compact, maneuverable platform. With a 6,600 lb load capacity and 24V / 150Ah lithium battery, it is engineered to handle heavy material movement across loading docks, stock rooms, manufacturing floors, and warehousing environments. The rider design allows the operator to stand on the unit during transport, reducing fatigue during extended shift operations.
Unlike lead-acid alternatives, the EP30A-Li runs on a lithium battery system paired with a ZF AC drive motor and Curtis controller, delivering consistent travel speed regardless of load and providing the responsiveness and efficiency demanded by high-throughput operations. The included charger and 3-year limited warranty reduce total cost of ownership and downtime risk.

Key Features & Benefits
ZF AC Drive Motor with Curtis Controller
The fast AC drive motor paired with a Curtis controller delivers consistent travel speed regardless of load weight, which is critical when operators are moving heavy pallets across variable floor conditions. The Curtis controller provides a full battery discharge indicator, so operators always know remaining run time before starting a task.
24V Lithium Battery System
The 24V / 150Ah lithium battery provides reliable, sustained power output throughout the charge cycle without the voltage drop that affects lead-acid systems under load. Lithium chemistry also eliminates the maintenance demands of watering and equalization charges associated with traditional batteries, reducing downtime in busy operations.
Electromagnetic and Electronic Neutral Braking
The electromagnetic braking system provides secure stopping power, while the electronic neutral braking delivers accurate control during directional changes. For contractors working in tight dock areas or near loading edges, reliable braking response is a direct safety requirement.
Ergonomic Handle with Integrated Controls
Throttle, lifting, lowering, turtle mode, and horn functions are all built into the ergonomic handle, keeping the operator's hands on the controls at all times. The belly button reverse safety feature automatically stops and reverses the unit to help avoid collision or injury during close-quarters operation.
Heavy-Duty Robotic-Welded Steel Construction
The chassis is constructed from heavy-duty steel using robotic welding for consistent weld quality and structural durability. This build quality is designed to withstand the impact, directional changes, and repetitive loading cycles typical of commercial and industrial applications.
Rider Platform Design
The walkie rider configuration allows operators to ride the unit during transport runs, reducing physical fatigue compared to a standard walkie pallet jack over the course of a full shift. This is particularly valuable in large warehouse or manufacturing floor environments where long travel distances are routine.
Common Applications
Loading and Unloading Trucks
The 6,600 lb capacity and low lowered height of 3.26" allow the unit to slide under standard pallet loads at truck bed height and move them efficiently on and off vehicles.
Loading Dock Operations
The rider pallet jack is well suited for repeated dock-to-floor pallet transfers where travel speed and operator endurance across multiple loads are operational priorities.
Stock Room and Warehouse Floor
With a turning radius of 81.34" and compact overall width of 35.83", the EP30A-Li can navigate stock room aisles and warehouse floors where larger powered equipment cannot operate effectively.
Manufacturing Floor Material Movement
On manufacturing floors where raw materials, components, or finished goods need to be repositioned frequently, the consistent AC drive speed and rider capability enable efficient cycle times across shifts.
Compatible Materials
- Standard wood pallets
- Plastic pallets
- Metal skids and pallets
- Smooth concrete flooring
- Sealed warehouse and manufacturing floor surfaces
- Loading dock plates and levelers
