Electric Mid-Level Order Picker - German AC Motor · 196" Lift

EKKO EOP70 Electric Mid-Level Order Picker – 2200 lb Capacity, 196" Lift Height

The EKKO EOP70 is a stand-up rider electric mid-level order picker engineered for high-density warehouse, racking, and storage facility operations. Designed with a triple mast configuration and a raised height of 196 inches (16.33 ft.), it gives operators reliable access to elevated racking positions in manufacturing floors, distribution centers, and warehousing environments. With a 2200 lb load capacity and adjustable auxiliary forks, the EOP70 is purpose-built for professional order-picking applications where precision, speed, and durability are non-negotiable.

Unlike standard walkie stackers or basic rider pallet jacks, the EOP70 integrates a German AC drive motor, Curtis Instrument controller with Electronic Power Steering (EPS), and robotic-welded steel construction — delivering a combination of high torque efficiency, operator ergonomics, and structural durability that entry-level order pickers cannot match. The included 24V/350Ah battery and 24V/50A charger mean the unit arrives ready to deploy without additional procurement delays.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Benefits

German AC Drive Motor with Curtis Instrument Controller

The 3 kW German AC drive motor delivers high torque and consistent travel speed regardless of load, as managed by the Curtis Instrument AC controller with battery discharge indicator. For contractors and warehouse operators running multi-shift operations, this means reliable throughput without the speed degradation common in DC-motor alternatives. Electronic Power Steering (EPS) further reduces operator fatigue during extended picking cycles.

Triple Mast with 196" Raised Height and Auxiliary Forks

The telescoping triple mast reaches 196 inches (16.33 ft.) with a maximum picking height of 258.01 inches, giving operators access to elevated racking positions that mid-level walkie units cannot safely reach. The adjustable auxiliary forks allow the operator to independently lift and position loads at height, expanding the unit's utility beyond standard platform-only order pickers. A protective steel guard on the telescoping mast adds structural protection during operation.

Electromagnetic and Electronic Neutral Braking

The EOP70 employs electromagnetic braking for secure, positive stopping power and electronic neutral braking for precise positional control when the operator releases the throttle. This dual-braking system is critical when working at elevation or in narrow-aisle environments where uncontrolled movement presents a safety hazard. The belly-button reverse safety feature stops and reverses the unit automatically to prevent collision or operator injury.

Ergonomic Operator Controls with Belly-Button Safety

Throttle, lifting, lowering, turtle mode, and horn functions are all integrated into the ergonomic handle, keeping critical controls within immediate reach without requiring the operator to reposition. The offset steering handle improves forward visibility when navigating racking aisles. The belly-button reverse safety feature provides an additional layer of protection against accidental collisions.

Robotic-Welded Steel Construction with I-Beam Mast

The heavy-duty steel chassis uses robotic welding for consistent weld quality and structural integrity across the entire frame — a construction standard that supports long-term durability under repeated loading cycles, directional changes, and the general impact demands of warehouse floors. The I-beam mast design provides rigidity at full extension without added weight penalty.

Included Battery and Charger — Ready to Deploy

The EOP70 ships with a 24V/350Ah battery and a 24V/50A charger included, eliminating the need to source power infrastructure separately before putting the unit into service. This is a direct operational cost and procurement convenience for contractors and facility managers working against deployment timelines.

Common Applications

Racking and Storage Facility Order Picking

The EOP70 is purpose-designed for picking orders directly from elevated racking systems, with a 196" raised height and 258.01" picking height providing access to high-bay storage positions. The adjustable auxiliary forks allow operators to retrieve individual loads from racking without full pallet movement.

Narrow-Aisle Warehouse Operations

With a turning radius of 61.81" and an overall width of 39.37", the EOP70 is suited for narrow-aisle configurations common in high-density warehousing. The EPS steering and compact footprint reduce repositioning time in constrained layouts.

Manufacturing Floor Material Handling

On manufacturing floors requiring movement of components or materials to elevated workstations or mezzanine-level storage, the EOP70's 2,200 lb capacity and stand-on rider configuration support efficient multi-point picking runs without repeated manual repositioning.

Distribution Center Fulfillment

In distribution center environments where order fulfillment speed and accuracy are critical, the EOP70's constant travel speed, ergonomic controls, and turtle mode allow operators to match pace to aisle conditions while maintaining safe operation at height.

Compatible Materials

• Palletized loads up to 2,200 lb
• Racked storage units and shelving systems
• Standard warehouse flooring (smooth concrete, sealed surfaces)
• Polyurethane wheel-compatible hard floor surfaces

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the battery and charger included with the EOP70?
A: Yes. The EOP70 includes both a 24V/350Ah battery and a 24V/50A charger, so the unit is ready for deployment without additional power equipment purchases.

Q: What is the maximum picking height of the EOP70?
A: The EOP70 has a picking height of 258.01 inches, with a platform raised height of 196 inches and an additional auxiliary fork lift height of 30.71 inches beyond that.

Q: What type of flooring is the EOP70 designed for?
A: The EOP70 uses polyurethane wheels on drive, bearing, and load positions, which are suited for smooth hard-floor surfaces such as sealed or finished concrete typical of warehouses and manufacturing floors.

Q: What safety features does the EOP70 include?
A: The EOP70 features electromagnetic braking for positive stopping, electronic neutral braking for accurate positional control, and a belly-button reverse safety feature that stops and reverses the unit to prevent operator collision or injury.

Q: What warranty does the EOP70 carry?
A: The EOP70 is covered by a 3-year limited warranty from EKKO Lifts.
