LPG Pneumatic Forklift – 10,000 lb Capacity

EKKO EK50LP LPG Pneumatic Forklift – 10,000 lb Capacity with Kubota Tier 4 Engine

The EKKO EK50LP is a liquid propane (LPG) 4-wheel counterbalanced forklift engineered for demanding material handling, warehousing, and distribution operations. With a 10,000 lb load capacity, a 185-inch lift height, and a Kubota WG3800 engine rated at 63.2 HP, this unit is built for contractors and trades professionals who require reliable, high-capacity lifting performance throughout the workday. The EK50LP is Tier 4 EPA compliant, meeting current emissions standards for LPG-powered industrial equipment.

Compared to electric alternatives, the EK50LP delivers continuous runtime without battery recharge downtime, making it well-suited for high-throughput environments where uptime is critical. Its heavy-duty integral chassis, adjustable steering column, and hydraulic foot pedal service brake combine operator comfort with structural durability on demanding job sites.

Key Features & Benefits

Kubota WG3800 Engine – Tier 4 EPA Compliant

The Kubota WG3800 delivers 63.2 HP and meets Tier 4 EPA emissions requirements, making the EK50LP compliant for use in regulated environments. For contractors operating on sites with emissions restrictions, this compliance reduces regulatory risk and keeps operations running without interruption.

Integral Heavy-Duty Chassis

The EK50LP is built on an integral heavy-duty chassis designed to ensure driver protection during operation. This structural rigidity supports the 16,250 lb service weight of the unit and contributes to stability when handling maximum loads.

Adjustable Steering Column

The adjustable steering column is designed to limit operator arm and shoulder fatigue during extended shifts. For contractors running multi-hour material handling operations, this ergonomic adjustment reduces cumulative strain and supports sustained productivity.

Multifunction Instrument Panel

The multifunction instrument panel provides monitoring for safety and efficient operation, giving operators real-time awareness of machine status. This supports both safe operating practices and helps identify issues before they impact workflow.

Steer Axle with 80-Degree Pivot

The steer axle pivots to 80 degrees, delivering a tighter turning radius suited for confined warehouse aisles and job site areas with limited maneuvering space. This capability improves positioning accuracy when placing or retrieving loads in tight quarters.

Operator Compartment Design

The operator compartment features a non-slip entrance step, wider access, and increased leg room for ease of entry and exit during repeated cycles. Excellent operator visibility is built into the design, reducing blind spots and supporting safer load handling.

Common Applications

Warehousing and Distribution

The EK50LP is purpose-built for warehousing and distribution environments, with a 185-inch lift height and 10,000 lb capacity supporting high-bay storage and bulk pallet movement.

Construction Site Material Handling

With pattern cushion tires and a minimum ground clearance of 4.3 inches at the mast, the EK50LP handles uneven or firm-surface job site conditions where heavy material placement is required.

Loading Dock Operations

A maximum traveling speed of 10.5 mph loaded and 11.2 mph unloaded allows efficient movement between loading docks and staging areas, reducing cycle times in high-volume receiving or shipping operations.

High-Bay Rack Storage

With a 185-inch lift height and a free lifting height of 44.3 inches, the EK50LP can reach elevated rack positions while allowing low-clearance travel in facilities with overhead obstructions.
