EKKO EP30A Rider Pallet Jack — 6,600 lb Capacity with AC Drive Motor
The EKKO EP30A Rider Pallet Jack combines the maneuverability of a standard pallet jack with full-power electric lifting and riding capability, making it an efficient solution for high-throughput material handling operations. With a 6,600 lb load capacity and a low-profile lowered height of 3.26 inches, it is engineered for loading and unloading trucks, dock work, stock rooms, manufacturing floors, and warehouse environments. Built on a steel frame with durable polyurethane and steel entry wheels, the EP30A is designed to withstand demanding terrain, repeated impacts, and frequent directional changes.
Unlike walk-behind electric pallet jacks, the EP30A features a full rider platform, a ZF AC drive motor, and a Curtis controller — components that deliver consistent performance and long-term reliability. The included 24V/280Ah battery and charger mean the unit is ready to work from day one without additional procurement.

Key Features & Benefits
ZF AC Drive Motor
The ZF AC driver motor delivers fast, responsive drive performance suited to continuous-use environments. AC motor technology generally provides more efficient power delivery and lower maintenance requirements compared to DC alternatives, keeping downtime to a minimum on the job.
Curtis Controller
The Curtis controller is an industry-recognized component found across professional-grade electric material handling equipment. It provides precise speed and torque management, giving operators confident, predictable control during loading and unloading cycles.
6,600 lb Load Capacity
At 6,600 lbs, the EP30A handles heavy pallet loads found in manufacturing, distribution, and dock environments. This capacity supports full-weight standard pallets without the need to split loads, reducing cycle times on the floor.
Low-Profile Fork Design
With a lowered height of just 3.26 inches and a raised height of 9.17 inches, the EP30A can slide under standard pallets with minimal clearance requirements. This low-entry profile is essential for efficient truck loading and unloading where clearance is limited.
Polyurethane and Steel Entry Wheels
Polyurethane drive wheels provide traction and floor protection across warehouse and manufacturing surfaces, while steel entry wheels at the fork tips allow reliable pallet entry. Together they support operation across varying floor conditions and surfaces.
Ergonomic Handle and Controls
The ergonomic handle and control layout reduces operator fatigue during extended shifts. Intuitive placement of controls supports efficient operation and minimizes the learning curve for new operators.
Steel Construction with Included Battery and Charger
Full steel construction provides structural durability to withstand impact and repeated use in tough environments. The included 24V/280Ah battery and charger eliminate additional upfront costs and ensure the unit is field-ready immediately upon delivery.
Common Applications
Loading and Unloading Trucks
The low-profile fork entry and rider platform make the EP30A well-suited for moving heavy pallets on and off trucks quickly at loading docks. The 6,600 lb capacity covers the majority of standard freight pallet loads.
Loading Dock Operations
The EP30A's combination of riding capability and full electric drive allows operators to move efficiently between dock positions, reducing turnaround time during high-volume receiving or shipping shifts.
Stock Room Material Handling
In stock room environments where pallets are frequently relocated, the rider format reduces operator fatigue compared to walk-behind units while maintaining the compact footprint of a pallet jack.
Manufacturing Floor Transport
The steel construction and durable wheel package support use on manufacturing floors where floor conditions, directional changes, and heavy loads are routine. The AC motor handles repeated acceleration and deceleration cycles effectively.
Warehouse Operations
For warehouse applications requiring frequent pallet movement across longer distances, the rider platform and AC drive motor improve throughput compared to manual or walk-behind alternatives.
Compatible Materials
- Standard wood pallets
- Plastic pallets
- Smooth concrete warehouse floors
- Manufacturing floor surfaces
- Loading dock floors and truck beds (with appropriate dock plates)
