EKKO ES120E Scissor Aerial Work Platform — 700 lb Capacity, 45 ft Working Height
The EKKO ES120E is a battery-powered scissor aerial work platform designed for contractors and trades professionals requiring elevated access up to 45 feet working height. With a 700 lb load capacity and a generously sized 88.58" x 45.27" platform, it accommodates two workers indoors with tools and materials for tasks such as electrical installation, HVAC, mechanical work, and overhead finishing. The compact footprint and 77" folded guardrail height allow the unit to pass through standard interior doorways and navigate job site corridors without disassembly.
Unlike many competitors in the mid-range scissor lift category, the ES120E uses a Curtis proportional controller for smooth, precise lift and drive operation, and is powered by a 12V x 4 / 300 Ah lead-acid battery system with a wide-range 100–240 VAC onboard charger that accepts any standard site power supply. Its 30% gradeability rating also gives it practical mobility across sloped surfaces common on active construction sites.

Key Features & Benefits
Curtis Proportional Controller
The Curtis proportional controller provides smooth, stepless control of both lift and drive functions. For contractors working at height, this means precise positioning without abrupt movements, reducing operator fatigue and improving accuracy when aligning with overhead work areas.
700 lb Load Capacity with Extendable Platform
The main platform supports 700 lb across its 88.58" x 45.27" deck, accommodating two workers with tools and materials simultaneously. The slide-out 39.37" platform extension adds reach for tasks where the main platform cannot be positioned directly below the work area, rated at 265 lb.
Folding Guardrail for Low-Clearance Access
With the guardrail folded, the overall machine height drops to 77", enabling entry through standard interior doorways and low-clearance passages common in commercial and industrial construction environments. The non-folded height is 102.36" for reference when clearance is not a constraint.
30% Gradeability
The ES120E is rated to traverse slopes up to 30%, which allows it to be driven across ramps, loading docks, and uneven site terrain without the need for external assistance or rigging. This practical mobility keeps job site productivity high when repositioning the unit between work areas.
Wide-Range Onboard Charger (100–240 VAC)
The integrated 36 A charger accepts any standard voltage between 100 and 240 VAC, eliminating the need for a dedicated voltage transformer on international job sites or facilities with non-standard power supplies. The 300 Ah battery pack provides extended runtime between charges for full-day operation.
Steel Construction with GB25849 and EN280 Compliance
The all-steel frame is built for the structural demands of construction environments. Compliance with GB25849 and EN280 standards provides contractors and site safety officers with documented assurance that the machine meets recognized aerial work platform safety requirements.
Common Applications
Commercial Electrical Installation
Electricians can use the ES120E to install conduit, junction boxes, and lighting fixtures at heights up to 45 ft. The two-worker platform capacity allows a journeyman and apprentice to work simultaneously, reducing trip cycles.
HVAC and Mechanical Systems
The large platform deck supports ductwork sections, equipment, and hand tools needed for overhead mechanical installation and maintenance. The platform extension provides additional lateral reach when working around structural obstructions.
Interior Overhead Finishing
Drywall, ceiling tile, and spray finishing contractors benefit from the stable elevated platform and proportional lift control for consistent working height adjustments. The folding guardrail allows repositioning through doorways without removing the unit from the floor.
Warehouse and Facility Maintenance
Facilities maintenance teams can use the ES120E for lighting replacement, sprinkler system inspection, and overhead equipment servicing in warehouses and large commercial buildings. The 0" inside turning radius enables tight repositioning in confined spaces.
Steel Structure and Industrial Construction
The 30% gradeability and steel construction make the ES120E suitable for active construction sites where surface conditions vary. Contractors installing steel connections, fireproofing, or cladding at intermediate heights up to 39 ft platform height can do so with two workers on deck.
Compatible Materials
- Flat concrete floors (indoor construction and warehouse environments)
- Sealed or painted concrete surfaces
- Smooth asphalt surfaces
- Steel plate flooring and grating (where surface is stable and rated for machine weight)
- Sloped surfaces up to 30% grade
