Pneumatic Forklift | 7,000 lb Capacity

EKKO EK35LP LPG 4-Wheel Pneumatic Forklift — 7,000 lb Capacity for Demanding Material Handling

The EKKO EK35LP is a liquid propane-powered, four-wheel counterbalanced forklift rated for 7,000 lbs at a 24-inch load center, engineered for warehousing, distribution, and heavy-duty material handling operations. Powered by a Kubota WG2503 engine producing 60.1 HP at 2,400 RPM, this unit delivers sustained performance across extended shifts. Its Tier 4 EPA-compliant engine meets current emissions regulations, making it a compliant choice for indoor and outdoor job sites alike. Solid pneumatic tires and a robust chassis make it well-suited for the rough surfaces and variable terrain that contractors and trades professionals regularly encounter.

The EK35LP sets itself apart through its combination of a high-torque Kubota engine, an 80-degree steer axle pivot for a tighter turning radius, and an operator-focused cab design that reduces fatigue during long operating cycles. Competitive pricing alongside heavy-duty chassis construction and a Tier 4-compliant powertrain make this unit a practical value in the 7,000 lb LPG forklift class.

Key Features & Benefits

Kubota WG2503 Tier 4 EPA-Compliant Engine

The Kubota WG2503 engine delivers 60.1 HP at 2,400 RPM, providing the power needed to handle 7,000 lb loads across demanding work cycles. Tier 4 EPA compliance means this unit meets current emissions standards, supporting its use in a wider range of job site environments. For contractors operating on regulated sites, this compliance reduces potential liability and permitting complications.

Integral Heavy-Duty Chassis with Driver Protection

The heavy-duty integral chassis is designed to protect the operator during normal operation and in the event of load shifting or tip events. This structural rigidity also contributes to consistent lift performance under rated load. Contractors can rely on this chassis durability across high-cycle warehouse and distribution environments.

80-Degree Steer Axle Pivot for Tight Turning Radius

The steer axle pivots to 80 degrees, significantly tightening the unit's turning radius for maneuvering in congested warehouse aisles, loading docks, or job site staging areas. This reduces the space required to reposition loads, improving throughput in space-constrained environments.

Operator Comfort and Visibility

The operator compartment features a non-slip entrance step, wider access, and increased leg room to reduce fatigue during extended use. An adjustable steering column further limits arm and shoulder fatigue, while the cab design provides excellent forward visibility for precise load placement. These ergonomic elements support safer, more efficient operation over a full work shift.

Multifunction Instrument Panel

A multifunction instrument panel provides the operator with real-time monitoring data to support safe and efficient operation. Having critical operational information at a glance reduces the need to stop and inspect the machine, keeping material handling cycles moving efficiently.

Hydraulic Controls and Hydraulic Foot Pedal Service Brake

Hydraulic controls provide smooth, responsive operation of the mast and attachments. The hydraulic foot pedal service brake delivers consistent stopping performance under load, while the mechanical hand brake serves as the parking brake for secured stops on grade or during extended pauses.

Common Applications

Warehousing and Distribution

The EK35LP is purpose-built for warehousing and distribution operations, where high load capacity, reliable propane power, and maneuverability in racking aisles are essential. Its 189-inch lift height supports multi-level racking storage configurations.

Loading Dock Operations

With a traveling speed of 11.875 mph and a 7,000 lb rated capacity, this forklift efficiently moves palletized freight between trailers and staging areas at loading docks. The tight turning radius aids in positioning within dock bays.

Construction Site Material Handling

Solid pneumatic tires and 5.3 inches of ground clearance at the mast allow the EK35LP to operate on the uneven surfaces typical of active construction sites. It can move heavy building materials, equipment, and palletized supplies across job site terrain.

Heavy Pallet and Skid Movement

With a 7,000 lb load capacity and 42.1 x 4.9 x 1.97 in forks, the EK35LP handles heavy pallets, skids, and bundled materials that lighter forklifts cannot safely manage. This makes it appropriate for steel, lumber, concrete products, and other dense construction materials.

Compatible Materials

• Palletized construction materials (lumber, drywall, roofing, masonry)
• Steel and metal products on skids or pallets
• Bagged goods (concrete, mortar, aggregate)
• Equipment and machinery on skids
• Bundled pipe, conduit, and structural steel
• General warehouse and distribution freight
