FAQ about this model

What is the load capacity of the EK40TLP, and does it change with load center?

The EK40TLP is rated for 8500 LBS at a 24 in load center. This is the standard measurement point for rating forklift capacity, so if your loads sit further from the fork face than 24 in, actual safe capacity will be lower than 8500 LBS.

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

Maximum lift height is 185 in, with a free lifting height of 37.9 in before the mast extends. The mast itself measures 86.2 in overall, and with forks fully raised the truck reaches 234 in overall height. Check your ceiling and rack clearances against these figures before ordering.

What size tires does the EK40TLP use, and what is the wheel configuration?

It runs on Solid Pneumatic Tires in a 4-wheel configuration, with wheel sizes of 250-15-16PR in front and 6.50-10-10PR in rear. Solid pneumatic tires are a common choice for warehouse and yard use where puncture resistance matters more than a smooth ride.

What engine does this forklift use and how much power does it produce?

The EK40TLP runs on LPG (propane) with a Kubota or PSI 2.4L engine, rated at 63 HP at 2700 rpm. It also has a 12/60 V/Ah battery for starting and electrical systems.

Will the EK40TLP fit through my warehouse aisles and doorways?

Overall width is 52.9 in and overall length is 157 in with forks (112 in without forks). Wheelbase is 70.8 in and minimum ground clearance at the mast is 4.7 in. Measure your narrowest aisle and lowest overhead point against these dimensions before purchase.

How fast does this forklift travel and how much does it weigh?

Maximum travel speed is 10.3 mph loaded and 11.2 mph unloaded. Service weight is 11,519 LBS, which is the figure to use when checking floor load ratings or trailer weight limits for transport.
