Lithium-Powered 4-Wheel Electric Forklift - 7,000 lb Capacity 185" Lift Height

EKKO EK35GT-Li Lithium-Powered 4-Wheel Electric Forklift – 7,000 lb Capacity for Demanding Material Handling

The EKKO EK35GT-Li is a lithium-powered, seated, 4-wheel electric counterbalanced forklift engineered for heavy-duty material handling in commercial and industrial environments. With a 7,000 lb load capacity and a lift height of 185 inches (15.4 ft), it is built to handle the full range of loading dock, warehousing, manufacturing floor, and stockroom operations. The solid pneumatic tires and robust steel construction with robotic welding make it suitable for varied terrain and high-cycle usage conditions. It is designed for contractors and trades professionals who require a reliable, high-capacity electric forklift without the maintenance demands of lead-acid powered equipment.

Unlike lead-acid alternatives, the EK35GT-Li runs on an 80/280Ah lithium battery paired with a 3-Phase 480V charger (with optional 220V and 110V configurations), reducing downtime associated with battery swaps and extended charge cycles. The inclusion of an InMotion® controller, Cascade® side shift, and Shimadzu® 4-Way pre-plumbed valve reflects a focus on precision control and operator productivity across demanding applications.

Key Features & Benefits

80/280Ah Lithium Battery with Flexible Charging

The lithium battery system eliminates the need for battery watering, equalization charges, and dedicated battery rooms required by lead-acid units. The standard 3-Phase 480V charger, with optional 220V and 110V availability, gives contractors flexibility across different facility power configurations. This translates directly to reduced maintenance overhead and more available uptime on the job.

InMotion® Controller

The InMotion® controller manages drive and lift functions for smooth, precise operation in tight spaces and high-traffic environments. For operators running repeated load cycles, consistent and predictable response from the controller reduces operator fatigue and improves throughput efficiency.

Cascade® Side Shift

The factory-installed Cascade® side shift allows operators to laterally reposition forks without repositioning the entire forklift, saving time during pallet placement and retrieval. This is particularly valuable in racking systems and loading dock work where alignment precision matters.

Shimadzu® 4-Way Valve (Pre-Plumbed)

The Shimadzu® 4-way valve comes pre-plumbed from the factory, enabling attachment-ready operation without additional hydraulic installation work on-site. This reduces setup time and supports contractors who need to run auxiliary attachments immediately upon delivery.

Solid Pneumatic Tires & Steel Construction with Robotic Welding

Solid pneumatic tires provide the cushioning of pneumatic tires without the risk of flats, making them well-suited for outdoor staging areas, loading docks, and uneven surfaces common on active job sites. The steel construction with robotic welding delivers consistent weld quality and structural integrity to withstand impact and frequent directional changes.

185" Lift Height with 37.9" Free Lift

The 185-inch maximum lift height (15.4 ft) allows placement into high racking systems and multi-level storage configurations. The 37.9-inch free lift enables the forks to raise above floor level without extending the mast, which is critical for working inside trailers or in facilities with overhead clearance constraints.

Common Applications

Loading Dock Operations

The EK35GT-Li's 7,000 lb capacity and 150-inch total length with forks make it well-suited for unloading inbound freight and staging outbound shipments at commercial loading docks. The Cascade® side shift and hydraulic foot pedal service brake support safe, controlled maneuvering in dock environments.

Warehouse Racking & Storage

With a 185-inch lift height and 37.9-inch free lift, the forklift can service high bay racking systems while maintaining clearance in confined aisles. The 98.2-inch minimum outside turning radius and 50.5-inch overall width define the minimum aisle requirements for racking layout planning.

Manufacturing Floor Material Handling

On manufacturing floors where repeated load cycles and precise placement are required, the InMotion® controller and Cascade® side shift provide the control needed to keep production lines supplied efficiently. The solid pneumatic tires handle the varied floor surfaces common in production environments.

Stockroom Replenishment

The seated driving mode and ergonomic handle and controls reduce operator fatigue during extended stockroom replenishment shifts. The forklift's 9.3 mph laden and unladen traveling speed supports efficient movement between storage locations and receiving areas.

Truck Loading & Unloading

The free lift capability allows fork elevation within trailer interiors without raising the mast height, preventing contact with trailer ceilings during load extraction. The 7,000 lb capacity covers the full range of standard palletized freight weights encountered in trucking and distribution operations.

Compatible Materials

• Palletized freight and general cargo up to 7,000 lbs
• Building materials and construction supplies on standard pallets
• Bagged and bulk goods in warehouse or stockroom settings
• Racked storage loads at heights up to 185 inches
• Materials requiring auxiliary hydraulic attachments (pre-plumbed 4-way valve)

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What charger is included, and are other voltages available?
A: The EK35GT-Li comes standard with a 3-Phase 480V charger. Optional 220V and 110V charger configurations are also available for facilities with different power supply setups.

Q: Does the forklift come ready for hydraulic attachments?
A: Yes. The Shimadzu® 4-Way Valve is pre-plumbed from the factory, so the forklift is attachment-ready without requiring additional hydraulic plumbing work after delivery.

Q: What is the maximum lift height, and does it have free lift capability?
A: The maximum lift height is 185 inches (15.4 ft). The forklift also provides 37.9 inches of free lift, allowing the forks to elevate without extending the mast — important for working inside trailers or in low-clearance areas.

Q: What warranty is included?
A: The EK35GT-Li is covered by a 3 Year Limited Warranty.
