FAQ about this model

What is the rated capacity of the EK18RF, and at what load center?

The EK18RF is rated for 4000 lb at a 24 inch load center. If your load's center of gravity sits farther from the fork face than 24 inches, actual safe capacity will be lower than the 4000 lb rating, so check your load dimensions against this spec before ordering.

How high can this forklift lift, and what is the lowered mast height?

Lift height is 216.54 inches with the mast lowered to 91.77 inches for travel and extended to 248.43 inches at full height. Free lift (raising the forks without extending the mast) is 61.34 inches, useful for working under low overhead obstructions.

What kind of aisle width and turning radius does this truck need?

The EK18RF requires a 10.5 ft aisle width (Ast) for right-angle stacking and has a minimum turning radius of 58.5 inches. Wheelbase is 48.8 inches and overall length to fork face is 72.52 inches, so measure your narrowest aisle and racking layout against these figures.

What battery does it use, and how much does it weigh?

It runs on a 48V, 420Ah battery weighing 1570 lb (±5%). The drive motor is rated at 6 kW (60-minute rating) and the lift motor at 7.7 kW (S3 15%), with AC drive control.

How much does the forklift weigh, and how fast does it travel?

Service weight with battery installed is 7940 lb. Travel speed is 12 km/h laden and 13 km/h unladen, with lifting speed of 250 mm/s loaded and 400 mm/s unloaded. Confirm your warehouse floor load rating can support the 7940 lb service weight plus the load.

Is this a sit-down or stand-up forklift, and how is it steered?

The EK18RF is a stand-up rider forklift with a stand-on platform 9.06 inches high and an overhead guard 90.08 inches tall. It uses hydraulic steering and hydraulic service brakes, and rolls on solid wheels.
