EKKO EK18RF Stand-up Rider Forklift, 4000 lb Cap., 216" Lift Ht. 48V

The EKKO EK18RF is a stand-up rider electric forklift rated for 4,000 lb at a 24-inch load center and a maximum lift height of 216 inches. The stand-up rider format keeps the operator platform compact and the wheelbase short, so the truck works in the places a sit-down counterbalanced lift struggles to reach — loading and unloading trucks at the dock, stock rooms, manufacturing floors, and general warehousing.

Power comes from a 48-volt drivetrain built around a German ZF AC drive motor and a Curtis controller, which holds a constant travel speed regardless of load and feeds a battery-discharge indicator at the operator station. A 48V/420Ah industrial battery and a matching 48V/65A automatic charger are both included, so the truck arrives ready to put to work rather than as a chassis waiting on a power package.

The forks side-shift and adjust across a 9.4–35.6 inch spread on 45.3-inch forks, letting the operator line up to a pallet without repositioning the whole truck. Hydraulic power steering carries the steering effort, solid cushion load tires and polyurethane drive tires handle smooth indoor concrete, and the steel chassis is robotic-welded to an I-beam mast. In a 10.5-foot aisle with a 58.5-inch minimum turning radius, the EK18RF is sized for dock picking and the smaller aisles where a full counterbalanced truck won't turn.

• Stand-up rider design — short wheelbase and compact platform for dock work and smaller aisles, with a 10.5-foot aisle-width requirement.
• 48V AC drivetrain — German ZF AC drive motor paired with a Curtis 48V controller for constant travel speed across the full load range.
• Battery and charger included — 48V/420Ah industrial battery and a 48V/65A automatic charger ship with the truck.
• Side-shifting, adjustable forks — 45.3-inch forks that side-shift and adjust from 9.4 to 35.6 inches to square up to the load.
• 216-inch, 3-stage mast — full free-lift travel of 61.3 inches and a robotic-welded I-beam mast.
• Hydraulic power steering — hydraulic steering and a hydraulic service brake.
• Indoor-floor tire package — solid cushion load tires and polyurethane drive tires for smooth concrete.
• LED lighting — LED head lights, turn signals, and brake lights.
• Ergonomic operator controls — tilt, lift, lower, side-shift, and horn functions grouped at the operator station, with a battery-discharge indicator.
