EKKO EP18SLi Semi-Electric Walkie Pallet Jack — 4,000 lb Capacity with LiFePO4 Power
The EKKO EP18SLi Semi-Electric Walkie Pallet Jack delivers full power lifting and electric drive in a compact walkie format, purpose-built for contractors and trades professionals who need reliable material handling across loading docks, stock rooms, manufacturing floors, and warehousing environments. With a 4,000 lb load capacity and 24V lithium iron phosphate power system, it handles the demands of daily commercial and industrial use. The semi-electric design combines powered lifting and driving with the maneuverability of a traditional pallet jack, making it a practical upgrade from manual equipment.
Unlike lead-acid-powered alternatives, the EP18SLi uses a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, which delivers more consistent power output and comes included with a charger — eliminating additional procurement costs. Robotic welding on the steel frame ensures structural consistency and durability across varied terrain, impacts, and directional changes that are common in active job site environments.

Key Features & Benefits
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Battery System
The 24V/40Ah LiFePO4 battery provides powered lifting and driving without the maintenance burden associated with lead-acid alternatives. A charger is included, so the unit is ready to deploy from day one without sourcing additional accessories.
Robotic Welded Steel Construction
The steel frame is assembled using robotic welding, which produces consistent, high-integrity welds throughout the chassis. This translates to greater structural reliability under repeated heavy loads, impacts, and directional changes on active job sites.
Polyurethane Wheels
Polyurethane wheels offer durability on the warehouse and dock surfaces contractors encounter daily. They resist wear and provide stable traction across varied flooring conditions.
Pinwheel Capability
Pinwheel capability allows the pallet jack to rotate in tight spaces, which is essential when maneuvering pallets in confined stock rooms, truck bays, or crowded manufacturing floors.
Ergonomic Handle and Controls
The ergonomic handle and integrated controls are designed to reduce operator fatigue during extended use. Intuitive control placement allows operators to manage lifting and driving efficiently without unnecessary motion.
3-Year Limited Warranty
The EP18SLi is backed by a 3-year limited warranty, providing contractors and procurement managers with long-term coverage on a piece of equipment expected to see high-frequency use.
Common Applications
Loading and Unloading Trucks
The low 3.35 in lowered height allows the forks to slide under standard pallets at truck bed level, making it well-suited for efficient trailer loading and unloading operations.
Loading Dock Operations
Powered drive and lift capabilities allow a single operator to move heavy palletized loads across loading dock environments quickly and with less physical effort than manual equipment.
Stock Room Material Handling
The pinwheel capability and compact walkie format make the EP18SLi maneuverable in the tighter aisle configurations typical of stock rooms and storage areas.
Manufacturing Floor Transport
The steel construction and polyurethane wheels are built to withstand the terrain, impact, and directional changes common on active manufacturing floors, supporting reliable day-to-day material movement.
Warehousing Operations
With a 4,000 lb capacity and powered lifting, the EP18SLi handles standard pallet loads across warehouse environments, reducing operator effort and improving throughput.
