Product Overview
In short
The EKKO EP18SLi is a lithium-powered, semi-electric walkie pallet truck built for warehouses, stockrooms, distribution centers, and retail backrooms. It offers a 4,000 lb load capacity with a hydraulic lift system that raises to a lifting height of 7.87 inches, and is operated via an ergonomic tiller handle. Powered by a 24V/40Ah LiFePO4 lithium battery, it's designed for pallet transport and general material movement in compact spaces.

The EKKO EP18SLi Lithium Semi-Electric Walkie Pallet Truck is built to move pallets efficiently throughout warehouses, stockrooms, and distribution centers. With a 4,000 lb load capacity and lithium-powered drive assist, it delivers reliable performance for daily material handling tasks. Its compact walkie design and ergonomic controls make it a practical choice for operations requiring maneuverability in tight spaces.

FAQ about this model

How much weight does the EP18SLi carry, and at what load centre?

It is rated for 4,000 lb at a 23.6 in load centre. That rating assumes the load's weight sits within that distance from the fork backrest; loads carried farther out reduce what the truck can safely handle. Lifting height is 7.87 in, which is enough to raise a pallet for transport, not to stack or place into racking. Service weight with battery is 370 lb.

What are the fork dimensions, and what pallet sizes does the truck reference?

The forks are 45 in long, 5.91 in wide and 1.97 in thick, with an overall fork width of 26.97 in and a lowered fork height of 3.35 in. Aisle-width figures are given for 39.37 x 47.24 in pallets crossways and 31.5 x 47.24 in pallets lengthways. Measure your own pallet openings and deck boards against the 3.35 in lowered height before ordering.

How much aisle space does it need to turn with a pallet?

Right-angle stacking aisle is 73.78 in for 39.37 x 47.24 in pallets handled crossways and 75.75 in for 31.5 x 47.24 in pallets handled lengthways. Turning radius is 57.8 in. The truck itself is 65.86 in long overall with a 51.69 in wheelbase, 26.97 in overall width and 21.06 in tread.

What is the battery and how much power do the motors draw?

It runs a 24 V, 40 Ah LiFePO4 lithium battery weighing 22.4 lb, with DC drive control. The drive motor is 0.75 kW and the lift motor is 0.8 kW, using a hydraulic lift system. Charge time, charger type and runtime per charge are not listed in the product specifications, so confirm those separately if your shift pattern depends on them.

How is it operated, and what safety features are included?

It is a walk-behind (walkie) truck controlled from an ergonomic tiller handle, which sits between 29.13 and 45.67 in in the operating position. Braking is by electromagnetic brake, and the truck includes an emergency stop and safety switch controls. Travel speed is 4.2 km/h loaded and 4.5 km/h unloaded. Noise level is 70 dB(A) or less. In the US, powered industrial truck operator training is required by OSHA.

Is this suitable for ramps or outdoor yard use?

No, it is built for smooth indoor floors. Maximum gradeability is 5% loaded and 10% unloaded, so steep dock ramps are outside its range. Minimum ground clearance is 1.38 in and the wheels are PU, which does not suit broken asphalt, gravel or debris. Typical applications are warehouses, stockrooms, distribution centers and retail backrooms moving pallets at floor level.
