FAQ about this model
How much can the EK18RFL lift, and at what load center?
It is rated 4000 lbs at a 24-inch load center. That rating assumes the load is centered 24 inches from the fork face; loads carried farther out or stacked unevenly derate below 4000 lbs. The truck's own service weight with battery is 7870 lbs, which matters when you check dock plates, trailer floors and mezzanine ratings.
Will it fit in my building?
Lowered mast height is 82.6 inches and the overhead guard sits at 90.08 inches, so the guard is the tallest fixed point while traveling. At full lift the mast extends to 220.87 inches, so clear ceilings, sprinklers and lights at the stacking position, not just at the door. Maximum lift height is 188.98 inches, with 52.17 inches of free lift.
What aisle width does it need?
The aisle width requirement is 10.5 ft, with a minimum turning radius of 58.5 inches. Overall length is 117.78 inches, or 72.52 inches to the fork face, and track width is 35.04 inches. Measure your working aisles as they actually are, including rack uprights and pallet overhang, rather than the drawing dimension.
What power does it require?
It is electric, running a 48 V / 420 Ah battery, so there is no engine or fuel handling. The battery accounts for 1570 lbs of the 7870 lb service weight. The drive motor is rated 6 kW at the 60-minute rating and the lift motor 7.7 kW at S3 15%, with AC drive control. Charging equipment is not listed in these specifications, so confirm it separately.
What are the fork and mast details?
Forks measure 45.28 inches long, 4.72 inches wide and 1.58 inches thick, carried at a 36.22-inch fork width. The mast tilts 3 degrees forward and 5 degrees back. Lifting speed is 250 mm/s loaded and 400 mm/s unloaded; lowering is 240 and 258 mm/s. Ground clearance under the mast is 2.95 inches, so floor condition matters.
Who is this truck suited to, and who should look elsewhere?
It suits indoor warehouse and distribution work on smooth, level floors: stand-up rider operation with a 9.06-inch platform height for frequent on-and-off picking, solid wheels, hydraulic steering and hydraulic service brakes, with noise at the operator's ear of ≤70 dB(A). Climbing ability is 6% laden and 10% unladen, so sustained steep ramps are outside its range. OSHA requires trained and evaluated operators for powered industrial trucks.
