Description
-The EKKO EK30D is a 4-wheel diesel forklift built for 6,000 lb material handling work in warehousing, distribution, and outdoor industrial settings. It runs on a Tier 4 EPA-compliant Mitsubishi 4EG diesel engine, mounts solid pneumatic tires, and uses an impedance composited muffler to reduce sound output during operation.
EKKO Lifts has manufactured Class I–V material handling equipment from its 50,000+ sq ft facility in Pomona, California since 2008. The EK30D is the diesel option in the EKKO IC forklift line — sized for the heavier-duty outdoor and mixed-surface work that calls for diesel torque and runtime.
The mast lifts to 185 in with a 37.9 in free-lifting height and an overall lifted height of 234 in with the forks fully raised. Load center is rated at the standard 24 in, top travel speed is 12.1 mph unloaded (11 mph loaded), and service weight is 10,108 lb. The operator station carries a multifunctional suspended seat and a steering wheel adjusting mechanism, both designed to keep the driver comfortable and supported across repeated cycles.

FAQ
-Can the EK30D be used indoors?
Diesel forklifts are typically deployed in outdoor and well-ventilated industrial settings. The supplier states the EK30D’s engine is Tier 4 EPA compliant but does not specifically rate the truck for indoor operation, and does not state CARB compliance. Indoor diesel use is subject to OSHA ventilation requirements and state-level emissions rules — confirm with your facility’s environmental health and safety lead before any indoor deployment.
Are the tires suited to outdoor and mixed-surface yards?
The truck mounts solid pneumatic tires (28x9-15-12PR front, 6.50-10-10PR rear). Solid pneumatics handle smooth concrete, paved yards, gravel, and lightly broken outdoor lots without the puncture risk of air-filled pneumatics.
What clearance does the lifted mast need?
Mast collapsed height is 86.2 in. Free lifting height is 37.9 in. With forks fully raised, overall height is 234 in. Confirm dock door clearance and rack-top clearance against your specific facility before ordering.
Will my floor and dock support the service weight?
The EK30D has a service weight of 10,108 lb before any load is on the forks. Confirm floor-load rating and dock plate capacity against the loaded weight (truck weight plus the heaviest pallet you intend to handle) for your specific facility before ordering.
