4-Wheel Lithium-Powered Electric Forklift - 6,000 lb Capacity with 185" Lift Height

EKKO EK30GT-Li 4-Wheel Lithium Electric Forklift — 6,000 lb Capacity with 185" Lift Height

The EKKO EK30GT-Li is a seated, 4-wheel lithium-powered electric forklift engineered for demanding material handling in commercial and industrial environments. With a 6,000 lb load capacity and a maximum lift height of 185 inches (15.4 feet), it is built to handle heavy-duty loading and unloading operations across loading docks, manufacturing floors, stock rooms, and warehousing facilities. The machine is constructed from high-quality steel with robotic welding and is designed to withstand varied terrain, heavy impact, and frequent directional changes.

Unlike conventional lead-acid electric forklifts, the EK30GT-Li runs on an 80/280Ah lithium battery system paired with an InMotion® controller, delivering consistent performance without the maintenance overhead of watering, equalizing, or long charge recovery times. The inclusion of a Cascade® side shift, Shimadzu® 4-Way Valve (pre-plumbed), and solid pneumatic tires positions this unit for versatile, high-confidence use across uneven and rough-surface job sites.

Key Features & Benefits

Lithium Battery Power (80/280Ah)

The lithium battery system provides reliable, consistent power output across the entire charge cycle — unlike lead-acid alternatives that lose performance as charge depletes. For contractors running multiple shifts or tight turnarounds, the lithium chemistry supports opportunity charging without damaging the battery, reducing downtime on the job.

InMotion® Controller

The InMotion® controller manages drive and lift functions with precision, giving operators smooth, responsive control during loaded maneuvers. This is especially valuable in confined warehouse aisles or loading dock areas where precise movement is critical to safe, efficient operation.

Cascade® Side Shift

The factory-installed Cascade® side shift allows operators to laterally reposition the forks without repositioning the entire forklift, improving accuracy when aligning with pallets or racking. This reduces cycle times and minimizes the risk of product or racking damage in tight spaces.

Shimadzu® 4-Way Valve (Pre-Plumbed)

The pre-plumbed Shimadzu® 4-way valve comes ready for attachment use directly out of the box, eliminating the cost and lead time of aftermarket hydraulic preparation. Contractors who need to run clamps, rotators, or other hydraulic attachments can do so without additional plumbing work.

Solid Pneumatic Tires

Solid pneumatic tires provide the cushioned ride of a pneumatic tire without the risk of flats — critical for job sites with debris, concrete rubble, or metal fragments. The tire construction supports stable operation on uneven terrain typical of construction and industrial environments.

Robotic-Welded Steel Construction

The frame is fabricated from high-quality steel using robotic welding processes, ensuring consistent weld integrity and structural rigidity under repeated heavy loading. This construction is built to absorb the impact and directional stress common in active warehouse and manufacturing operations.

3-Phase 480V Charger (Optional 220V & 110V)

The standard 3-phase 480V charger is suited for industrial facilities, while optional 220V and 110V configurations provide flexibility for job sites with different power infrastructure. This adaptability makes the EK30GT-Li deployable across a wider range of work environments.

Common Applications

Loading Dock Operations

The EK30GT-Li is purpose-suited for loading and unloading trucks at loading docks, handling palletized freight up to 6,000 lbs with a 24-inch load center. The 96.2-inch minimum outside turning radius supports maneuvering in standard dock bay configurations.

Warehouse Racking & Storage

With a maximum lift height of 185 inches (15.4 feet) and a free lift of 37.9 inches, the forklift can place and retrieve loads at elevated rack levels without raising the mast in low-clearance areas during initial lift. This makes it effective in high-bay warehouse environments with multilevel racking.

Manufacturing Floor Material Handling

On manufacturing floors where consistent throughput is essential, the EK30GT-Li's lithium power system and InMotion® controller support continuous operation across shifts. The seated driving mode and hydraulic foot pedal service brake give operators control and comfort during extended use.

Stock Room Replenishment

The forklift's compact overall width of 48.2 inches and maneuverability support efficient movement through stock room aisles. The Cascade® side shift allows precise pallet placement without repeated repositioning.

Construction Site Material Staging

Solid pneumatic tires and ground clearance of 4.7 inches at the mast allow the EK30GT-Li to operate on the uneven and debris-laden surfaces common at active construction sites. The 9,788 lb service weight provides a stable counterbalance for maximum-capacity lifts in the field.

Compatible Materials

• Palletized construction materials (lumber, block, tile, stone)
• Bagged goods and bulk material on pallets
• Steel, pipe, and structural members (with appropriate forks/attachments)
• Warehouse racking loads up to 6,000 lbs at 24" load center
• Freight and packaged goods at loading docks
• Hydraulic attachment-compatible loads (pre-plumbed 4-way valve)

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What charger voltage options are available for the EK30GT-Li?
A: The standard charger is 3-Phase 480V. Optional configurations for 220V and 110V are also available, providing flexibility for facilities with different power supply infrastructure.

Q: Does the EK30GT-Li come with side shift standard?
A: Yes. The Cascade® side shift is included as a standard feature on the EK30GT-Li, allowing lateral fork adjustment without repositioning the machine.

Q: Is the hydraulic system ready for attachments?
A: Yes. The Shimadzu® 4-Way Valve comes pre-plumbed from the factory, so the forklift is ready to accept compatible hydraulic attachments without additional plumbing work.

Q: What type of tires does the EK30GT-Li use?
A: The forklift is equipped with solid pneumatic tires, which provide cushioned performance similar to air-filled pneumatics but without the risk of flats — suitable for rough or debris-covered surfaces.

Q: What warranty is included with the EK30GT-Li?
A: The EK30GT-Li is covered by a 3 Year Limited Warranty.
