Description
-The EKKO EK25GB is a four-wheel 5,000 lb capacity 48-volt electric forklift built for material handling in loading docks, stock rooms, manufacturing floors, and warehousing. The 48V / 600Ah lead-acid battery and the heavier-duty 12 kW lift motor put this truck a tier above small 24-volt 3-wheel electrics — the EK25GB is configured for full-shift work with pallet weights up to 5,000 lb.
The truck is rated at a 24-inch load center with a 189-inch (15.75 ft) maximum lift height and a 47.48-inch free lift — tall enough to load and unload trailers without striking the trailer roof, which is the spec that decides whether a free-lift mast is the right choice for an operation. Lowered mast height is 83 inches.
Power and control come from a Zapi® controller paired with an 11 kW AC drive motor. Gradeability is rated at 15% laden and 25% unladen — meaningful on dock ramps and short outdoor inclines that smaller electric trucks cannot handle. Service weight is 9,981 lb. Wheelbase is 65.35 inches; overall length 137.95 inches; overall width 46.45 inches; turning radius 84.2 inches.
The carriage carries a side-shift function via a 4-way valve, which lets the operator move the forks left and right at the carriage without repositioning the truck. Forks are 42.12 inches long, 4.72 inches wide, and 1.57 inches thick, with an adjustable spread from 8.7 inches to 29 inches. Mast and fork carriage tilt 6° forward and 6° backward. Solid pneumatic tires give the EK25GB tread grip on smooth concrete and well-maintained outdoor surfaces with the puncture immunity of solid construction — no air-loss downtime in a yard where nails and screws are part of the floor.
The standard charger is a 3-phase 480V industrial unit, with a 220V option for facilities without 3-phase service. EKKO builds the EK25GB with steel construction and robotic welding for consistent chassis geometry, and ergonomic-handle controls at the operator station for full-shift comfort. Forklift King is an authorized EKKO Lifts dealer and handles US delivery, freight scheduling, and post-sale support.

FAQ
-Can the EK25GB run outdoors?
Yes — on paved or smooth-concrete outdoor surfaces. The solid pneumatic tires carry tread grip suitable for paved yards, loading aprons, and well-maintained pavement, and the 15% laden gradeability handles dock ramps and short inclines. The truck is not configured for rough terrain, gravel, or muddy yards; for that environment, choose a dedicated rough-terrain forklift.
What does the “47.48-inch free lift” mean, and why does it matter?
Free lift is the distance the forks can rise before the inner mast starts to extend above the lowered mast height. A high free-lift mast lets the operator lift a full pallet inside a trailer or under a low ceiling without the mast itself pushing up into the ceiling. The EK25GB’s 47.48-inch free lift is the spec that decides whether this truck fits trailer-loading and low-ceiling work; verify against your trailer interior and ceiling heights.
What charger does it come with?
The standard charger is a 3-phase 480V industrial unit. A 220V configuration is available as an option for facilities that don’t have 3-phase service. Confirm which charger is right for your electrical infrastructure when you order.
Why lead-acid and not lithium?
The EK25GB ships with a 48V / 600Ah lead-acid battery. Lead-acid is the long-established chemistry for industrial electric forklifts at this size — lower up-front cost than lithium, mature service infrastructure, and well-understood maintenance routines (water topping, equalize cycles, ventilation requirements). EKKO offers separate lithium-equipped models when buyers want opportunity charging and zero acid maintenance.
How is it delivered?
The EK25GB ships by LTL freight from the US. Contact us for freight scheduling, liftgate availability, and delivery details specific to your destination.
