EKKO EK25SLP Forklift with Pattern Cushion (LPG) 5000 lbs

The EKKO EK25SLP is a 4-wheel LPG (propane) cushion-tire forklift built for 5,000 lb indoor material handling work in warehousing, distribution, and general industrial environments. It runs on a Tier 4 EPA-compliant Mitsubishi 4G64 PSI engine, mounts pattern cushion tires for tight turning on smooth concrete, and meets CARB 4 for California operators.

EKKO Lifts has manufactured Class I–V material handling equipment from its 50,000+ sq ft facility in Pomona, California since 2008. The EK25SLP is the cushion-tire model in the EKKO LPG line — built for indoor warehouse aisle work on smooth concrete, with a small turning radius and a narrow 42 in overall width for tighter pallet rack layouts.

The mast lifts to 189 in with a 44 in free-lifting height, the load center is rated at the standard 24 in, and the truck travels at 10.8 mph both loaded and unloaded. Service weight is 9,370 lb. The operator station is built around a semi-suspension seat, a small steering wheel, and electro-hydraulic direction changing for repeated cycle work, with a lowering damping device inside the lifting system to reduce mast shock and the noise of loads setting down.

• Tier 4 EPA-compliant LPG engine — Mitsubishi 4G64 (PSI Engine); meets CARB 4 regulation for California operators.
• Pattern cushion tires (21x7-15 front, 16x6-10.5 rear) for smooth-concrete warehouse aisle work and tight turning.
• Narrow 42 in overall width and small turning radius for tighter pallet rack and aisle layouts.
• Enlarged operator space with a heightened overhead guard using a large-arc front leg.
• Semi-suspension seat with cushion connection and full suspension cab to absorb truck vibration.
• Small steering wheel, electro-hydraulic direction changing, and an automotive-style double combined switch for driving comfort during repeated cycles.
• Lowering damping device in the lifting system reduces mast shock and the noise of loads being set down.
• Optimized hydraulic system designed for lower fuel consumption.
• Hydraulic floor-pedal service brake.

Is the EK25SLP designed for indoor use?

The combination of pattern cushion tires (sized for smooth concrete and indoor finished floors) plus a Tier 4 EPA-compliant, CARB 4 Mitsubishi 4G64 PSI engine supports indoor operation in California and similar jurisdictions when the facility provides the ventilation that propane equipment requires. As with any IC forklift, confirm ventilation and air-quality requirements with your facility’s environmental health and safety lead before deploying indoors.

Can the truck run outside on broken or uneven surfaces?

The EK25SLP mounts cushion tires, which are designed for smooth concrete and indoor finished floors. They handle short trips across smooth paved yards but are not the right configuration for broken outdoor lots, gravel, or uneven ground.

What overall width should I plan around for aisle layout?

Overall width is 42 in and the wheelbase is 58 in. The supplier did not publish a specific right-angle stack aisle dimension for the EK25SLP — confirm aisle and turning requirements with us before committing to a rack layout.

What clearance does the lifted mast need?

Mast collapsed height is 85 in. Free lifting height is 44 in. Maximum lift height is 189 in. The supplier did not publish an overall lifted-mast height with the forks fully raised for this model — confirm dock door and rack-top clearance against the lift height plus your fork carriage and load profile before ordering.
