Description
-The EKKO EK30LP is a four-wheel 6,000 lb capacity LPG forklift built for warehousing, distribution, and indoor manufacturing work that needs internal-combustion lift capability without diesel exhaust. Power comes from a Kubota WG2503 industrial engine rated at 58.3 HP at 2,600 rpm on propane, Tier 4 EPA compliant out of the box.
The truck is rated at a 24-inch load center with a 189-inch maximum lift height and 40.9-inch free lift. Service weight is 10,320 lb; overall length without forks measures 108.2 inches and overall width is 48.2 inches. Maximum travel speed is 11.8 mph loaded or unloaded.
EKKO has built the operator compartment for full-shift comfort and safety. A nonslip entrance step and widened access make ingress easier from either side; the cabin gives more leg room than older-generation 6,000 lb trucks; and an adjustable steering column lets operators of different heights position the wheel to limit arm and shoulder fatigue. A multifunction instrument panel keeps fuel, hours, and warning indicators in line of sight throughout the cycle.
An integral heavy-duty chassis ties the mast, drive axle, and counterweight together as one welded structure — the load-path geometry that determines how the truck holds up under repetitive loaded cycles and side loading. The steer axle pivots 80 degrees, which tightens the turning circle and lets the operator round corners without inching off the line. Hydraulic controls give predictable lift, lower, and tilt feel without the lag of electric-over-hydraulic setups.
The EK30LP rolls on pneumatic tires — 28x9-15-12PR up front, 6.50-10-10PR at the rear — sized for smooth concrete and well-maintained outdoor surfaces. Service braking is a hydraulic floor pedal, the layout the operator already knows from automotive driving.
EKKO Lifts manufactures the EK30LP at its facility in Pomona, California, and backs it with the EKKO Advantage Warranty: three-year frame, fork, and mast coverage (or 6,000 hours, whichever comes first) and two-year engine coverage (or 4,000 hours). Forklift King is an authorized EKKO Lifts dealer and handles US delivery, freight scheduling, and post-sale support.

FAQ
-Can the EK30LP run indoors?
The EK30LP runs on LPG (propane), which is commonly approved for indoor warehouse work where diesel is restricted, provided ventilation meets local code. Confirm requirements with your facility’s safety officer or the authority having jurisdiction.
What engine does the EK30LP use?
The EK30LP ships with a Kubota WG2503 industrial engine, rated at 58.3 HP at 2,600 rpm on propane and certified to Tier 4 EPA emissions standards. Kubota WG-series engines are widely supported in the US for parts and service.
What tires are on it, and where can I use them?
Pneumatic tires — 28x9-15-12PR front (drive) and 6.50-10-10PR rear (steer). Pneumatic tires are appropriate for smooth concrete and well-maintained outdoor surfaces such as paved yards and loading aprons. Rough or muddy yard work calls for a dedicated rough-terrain forklift.
How tight can it turn?
The steer axle pivots 80 degrees, which gives the EK30LP a tight turning circle for a 6,000 lb-class truck. The supplier’s technical specs do not publish a specific minimum turning radius value — contact us for the latest published number if it’s a tight fit for your aisle.
How is it delivered?
The EK30LP ships by LTL freight from the US. Contact us for freight scheduling, liftgate availability, and delivery details specific to your destination.
