Product Overview

In short

The EKKO EK16A-138 is an electric forklift built for tight warehouse and stock room spaces, offering a 3500 lbs load capacity and a maximum lifting height of 138 inches. Its compact overall width of 42.1 in and turning radius of 58.9 in make it well suited for maneuvering in confined aisles while still handling demanding industrial loads.

The EKKO EK16A-138 is an all-electric forklift engineered for facilities that demand both high lift capability and tight-space maneuverability. With a 3,500 lb load capacity and a maximum lift height of 138 inches, this truck is built to handle heavy pallets while reaching elevated storage racks. Its robotic-welded steel construction ensures a durable, dependable frame for daily industrial use.

Key Features & Benefits

Strong Lift Capacity: Rated to handle loads up to 3,500 lbs with a 24-in load center.
Impressive Lift Height: Reaches a maximum lifting height of 138 inches, with a free lift height of 34.4 inches for operation in low-clearance areas.
Precision Load Handling: Equipped with 3-way valve side-shifting forks and adjustable fork width (7.9–26 in) for accurate load positioning.
Mast Tilt Flexibility: Offers 3° forward and 6° backward tilt for secure load control during transport.
Electric Drive System: Powered by an AC drive motor and a 3.3 KW lifting motor, paired with a 24V/320Ah battery and 24V/50A charger for extended runtime.
Durable Build: Constructed from steel with robotic welding for long-term structural reliability, and equipped with cushion tires for smooth indoor operation.

The EK16A-138 is well suited for warehouse operations, manufacturing facilities, stockrooms, and loading dock areas where both lift height and maneuverability are essential. Its electric drive system makes it ideal for indoor environments where emissions and noise must be minimized, while its robust construction supports frequent, heavy-duty material handling tasks.

FAQ about this model

What is the load capacity of the EK16A-138 and at what load center?

The EK16A-138 is rated for 3500 lbs at a 24-inch load center. If your loads sit further out on the forks than 24 inches, actual lift capacity will be lower than the rated figure, so check your load's center of gravity against this spec before ordering.

How tall is this forklift when the mast is lowered, and what's the max lift height?

Lowered mast height is 86.6 inches, and maximum lift height is 138 inches. Free lift (raising the forks before the mast extends) is 34.4 inches, which matters if you're working under low overhead clearance such as trailer interiors or low doorways.

Will this forklift fit in our aisles and doorways?

Overall width is 42.1 inches, overall length is 107.1 inches, and the turning radius is 58.9 inches. Wheelbase is 49.2 inches. Compare these against your narrowest aisle and doorway width, and factor in the 58.9-inch turning radius for how it maneuvers in tight spaces.

What are the battery and charging specs?

The EK16A-138 runs on a 24V/320Ah battery with a 24V/50A charger and an AC drive motor. The lifting motor is rated at 3.3 kW. No charging time or battery life figures are listed in the specs, so plan charging cycles around your shift schedule.

What type of tires does it use, and is it for indoor or outdoor use?

It comes with cushion tires, which are typically suited to smooth, hard indoor surfaces rather than rough or uneven outdoor terrain. If you need to operate primarily outdoors on gravel or uneven ground, cushion tires may not be the right fit.

How much does the forklift itself weigh, and does that matter for our facility?

Service weight is 5020 lbs. This matters if you're checking elevator, ramp, or floor load ratings at your facility, or if you need to know the shipping weight for transport planning.
