Description

-

The EKKO EK16A-177 is a 3-wheel electric forklift built for 3,500 lb indoor material handling work in small aisles, loading docks, stock rooms, manufacturing floors, and warehouses. It lifts to 177 in (14.75 ft), runs on a 2.2 kW AC drive motor with a Zapi controller, and ships with the 24 V / 320 Ah battery and matching 24 V / 50 A charger included — no separate power package to source before the truck can start working.

EKKO Lifts has manufactured Class I–V material handling equipment from its 50,000+ sq ft facility in Pomona, California since 2008. The EK16A-177 sits in the EKKO 3-wheel electric line and is recommended by the supplier for indoor use on flat surfaces.

The 3-wheel design — single rear-drive wheel, two front load wheels — gives a tight 58.9 in turning radius and a narrow 42.1 in overall width for narrow-aisle warehouse work. Adjustable forks span 7.9 to 26 in for a wide range of pallet and skid sizes, and the integrated side shift (3-way valve) helps the operator align loads without repositioning the truck. Service weight is 5,200 lb, lowered mast height is 81 in, and mast tilt is 2° forward / 4° back.

Features

-
  • AC drive motor — 2.2 kW with Zapi controller for smooth speed control and energy-efficient operation.
  • 3.3 kW lift motor with laden lift speed of 4.71 in/s and unladen lift speed of 10.2 in/s.
  • 3-wheel design with a 58.9 in turning radius and 42.1 in overall width for narrow-aisle warehouse work.
  • Integrated side shift via a 3-way valve at the mast.
  • Adjustable forks spanning 7.9 to 26 in for varying pallet and skid widths; fork length is 42.1 in.
  • Hydraulic power steering (HPS) reduces steering effort during repeated cycles.
  • Cushion tires for smooth-floor indoor warehouse work.
  • Steel construction with robotic welding.
  • Mast tilt 2° forward / 4° back.

FAQ

-

Can the EK16A-177 be used outdoors?

The supplier explicitly recommends the EK16A-177 for indoor use on flat surfaces. The cushion tires and the modest 6% / 10% laden / unladen gradient capability reinforce the indoor-warehouse positioning. For broken outdoor lots, gravel, or uneven ground, a pneumatic-tire forklift is the better configuration.

What ships with the truck?

The EK16A-177 includes the 24 V / 320 Ah battery and the matching 24 V / 50 A charger, plus the integrated side shift (3-way valve) and adjustable forks (7.9–26 in). The truck can begin charging and working on day one without a separate power-package order.

How tight can the truck turn?

The 3-wheel design — single rear-drive wheel, two front load wheels — gives a turning radius of 58.9 in and an overall width of 42.1 in. Both are the main reason buyers pick a 3-wheel electric for narrow-aisle warehouse work over a comparable 4-wheel truck in the same capacity class.

What pallet sizes do the adjustable forks handle?

Fork adjust width spans 7.9 to 26 in, with fork length of 42.1 in. The narrow setting handles small skids and partial pallets; the wide setting covers standard 48 in stringer pallets and similar.
