Product Overview

In short

The EKKO EK16A-177 is a 3-wheel electric forklift built for small aisles and limited-space operations, offering a 3500 lb load capacity and a maximum lift height of 177 inches. It's suited for truck loading/unloading, stockroom work, production floor tasks, and general warehouse operations.

This EKKO EK16A-177 3-Wheel Electric Forklift has all of the capabilities you need to handle your warehouse or manufacturing floor's needs. The EK16A-177 is designed for narrow aisle use and can navigate through tight spaces easily. This forklift will give you a 3500 lb load capacity as well as a lift height of 177" so that you are able to stack pallets at higher levels than some other forklifts and put them in tight areas. The frame of the forklift is made from heavy-duty steel and is built using robotic welding techniques which provides a long-lasting structural framework for the forklift. The Zapi controller is used to help regulate movement and steerability of the forklift, along with the hydraulic power steering (HPS) system to make turning easy and precise. The adjustable forks and ability to shift the forks to one side add even more versatility to the forklift when dealing with a variety of different load sizes. Cushion tires have been installed on the forklift to ensure traction on flat indoor surfaces. In addition to being a very versatile machine, the EK16A-177 is also energy-efficient due to its AC drive. An additional benefit of the forklift is that the battery and charger are included with the purchase price. The combination of these benefits make the EK16A-177 a great option for many organizations looking for an affordable and efficient way to transport materials.

Important Features:

3500 lb load capacity to move heavy pallets.
177" maximum lift height to allow you to reach into high stacked racks.
Zapi controller to provide smooth and responsive controls to the operator.
Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS) to enable effortless turns and maneuverability.
Adjustable forks with the ability to side-shift to accommodate variously sized loads.

FAQ about this model

How much weight can the EK16A-177 lift, and at what load center?

It is rated at 3,500 lb with a 24 in load center. That rating assumes the load's center of gravity sits no farther than 24 in from the fork face, so deeper or unevenly loaded pallets will use up less than the full rating. The stacker's own service weight is 5,200 lb, which matters for floor loading, mezzanines, and elevators.

What is the maximum lift height, and will the mast clear my doorways?

Forks lift to 177 in, and the mast measures 81 in when fully lowered. Check the 81 in lowered height against your lowest doorway, sprinkler head, and trailer opening rather than the 177 in figure. Lift speed is 4.71 in/s loaded and 10.2 in/s empty; lowering runs 11.8 in/s loaded and 15.7 in/s empty.

How much aisle and floor space does it need?

Overall width is 42.1 in and overall length is 107.1 in, on a 49.2 in wheelbase with a 58.9 in turning radius. Use the turning radius as the starting point when checking your aisles, then add clearance for the load itself, which extends beyond the machine. The three-wheel layout is what keeps the turning figure this tight.

What are the battery and charging requirements?

It runs on a 24V/320Ah battery with a 24V/50A charger. The drive motor is AC 2.2 kW and the lift motor is 3.3 kW. The specifications do not list the charger's AC input requirement or a runtime per charge, so confirm the outlet type and circuit at your site before delivery rather than assuming a standard wall receptacle will do.

What do the forks handle, and can they be adjusted?

Forks measure 1.4 in thick, 4 in wide, and 42.1 in long, and adjust between 7.9 in and 26 in of spread. Side shift is handled through a 3-way valve, letting the operator align with a pallet without repositioning the truck. Mast tilt is 2° forward and 4° back for load stability during travel and placement.

What kind of site is this stacker suited to?

It suits indoor work on smooth, level floors. It has cushion tires and a rated gradient of 6% laden and 10% unladen, so ramps beyond that and broken or unpaved outdoor surfaces are outside its range. As with any powered industrial truck, OSHA requires that operators be trained and evaluated before running the equipment.
