Description

-

The EKKO EK16A-216Li is a 3,500 lb capacity three-wheel lithium-ion electric forklift built for small-aisle, indoor-flat-surface material handling — loading docks, stock rooms, manufacturing floors, and warehouses where a four-wheel diesel counterbalanced truck is the wrong tool. Maximum lift height is 216 inches (18 feet) with 31.5 inches of free lift. The chassis is steel with robotic welding, the carriage runs cushion tires, and the truck ships with the lithium-ion battery and matching 24V / 50A charger included.

EKKO drives the EK16A-216Li with a 24V AC drive motor and a 3.3 kW lift motor under a Zapi® controller — the controller family most operators recognize as the industry standard for electric forklift motion control. Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS) and side-shifting forks come standard.

Hydraulic function levers with orange icons on EK16A-216Li operator station
Side-shifting forks and tilt are operated from the orange-labelled hydraulic function levers.

The three-wheel chassis turns inside a 58.9-inch radius — the maneuvering envelope that makes this truck a fit for warehouse layouts where a counterbalanced four-wheel forklift cannot work the aisles. Overall length is 65 inches; overall width is 42.1 inches; wheelbase is 49.2 inches. Forks adjust from 7.9 inches to 26 inches apart for varied pallet widths and case sizes, and tilt 3 degrees forward / 6 degrees back.

Welded steel mast bracket — chassis and mast are built with robotic welding.

Performance under load: lift speed is 4.71 in/s laden and 10.2 in/s unladen; lowering speed is 11.8 in/s laden and 15.7 in/s unladen; gradient performance is 6 percent laden and 10 percent unladen. The EK16A-216Li is rated for indoor use on flat surfaces — confirm the surface condition of your facility against that recommendation before scheduling delivery.

FAQ

-

What's the rated capacity and load center?

The EK16A-216Li is rated to lift 3,500 lb at a 24-inch load center.

How high does it lift?

Maximum lift height is 216 inches (18 feet). Free lift height is 31.5 inches — the distance the forks travel before the inner mast begins to extend.

Will it run indoors?

Yes. The EK16A-216Li is a lithium-ion electric truck on cushion tires, recommended for indoor use on flat surfaces. No combustion exhaust, no fuel handling — the truck plugs into its included 24V / 50A charger between shifts.

How tight does it turn?

Turning radius is 58.9 inches. The three-wheel chassis is the form factor for tight warehouse aisles where a four-wheel counterbalanced truck cannot work.

Does the battery and charger come with the truck?

Yes — the 24V / 200 Ah lithium-ion battery and the matching 24V / 50A charger are both included. The truck arrives ready to charge and run.

Is the controller a known brand?

Yes. The EK16A-216Li uses a Zapi® controller for drive and hydraulics — Zapi is the controller family most electric-forklift operators and technicians recognize and stock parts for.
