EKKO EK40T-Li Lithium Powered Forklift, 8000 lbs. Capacity.

The EKKO EK40T-Li is an 8,000 lb capacity 4-wheel lithium-battery forklift built for material handling across warehouses, distribution centers, and indoor manufacturing floors. An 80V / 230Ah lithium battery drives an AC motor to a 185-inch (15.4 ft) maximum lift height with a 43.7-inch free lift — vertical reach more often associated with IC forklifts of this capacity class, delivered on an electric chassis with no engine emissions, no fuel handling, and lithium's fast-charge and partial-cycle tolerance.

EKKO manufactures Class I–V material handling equipment from a 50,000-plus square-foot facility in Pomona, California, and lithium technology is a meaningful part of the EKKO identity — lithium models are labeled with the "-Li" suffix you see on this SKU's part number. The EK40T-Li ships with a Cascade® side shift and a pre-plumbed Shimadzu® 4-way valve — no separate purchases for the most-common attachment hardware, no aftermarket plumbing before commissioning.

The chassis runs an InMotion® controller and an AC drive motor, with hydraulic floor-pedal service braking and solid pneumatic tires sized for indoor smooth-floor work and inside-trailer surfaces. Steel construction with robotic welding holds dimensional tolerances across the chassis, mast, and counterweight assemblies. Mast lowered height is 89 in and overall width is 45.2 in, so the truck stays maneuverable inside trailers and at dock doors at the 8,000 lb capacity tier.

The unit ships with a 3-year limited warranty. Confirm coverage scope, parts-and-labor breakdown, and any duty-cycle or hour-meter conditions directly with the supplier before commissioning.

The EK40T-Li ships with a 3-year limited warranty from EKKO. Confirm coverage scope, parts-and-labor breakdown, and any duty-cycle or hour-meter conditions directly with the supplier before commissioning.

What is the rated capacity and lift height?

8,000 lb at a 24-inch load center. Maximum lift height is 185 in (15.4 ft) with a 43.7-inch free lift.

What battery ships with the truck?

An 80 V / 230 Ah lithium battery, driving an AC motor through an InMotion® controller. Lithium chemistry supports fast charging and partial-cycle use, which means shorter top-up windows between shifts compared with traditional lead-acid systems.

What attachments are standard?

A Cascade® side shift comes as standard equipment, and a Shimadzu® 4-way valve is pre-plumbed from the factory. The 4-way valve gives you a direct factory-ready connection for clamps, rotators, sideshifters, or other auxiliary-circuit attachments without aftermarket plumbing.

What kind of tires does it come with?

Solid pneumatic tires — sized for smooth indoor floors and inside-trailer operation rather than rough outdoor yard surfaces.

What is the warranty?

The unit ships with a 3-year limited warranty from EKKO. Coverage specifics — what is included, what is excluded, parts vs labor split, hour-meter limits — confirm with the supplier before commissioning.

What overall dimensions should I confirm against my space?

Overall length with forks is 144.6 in; overall length without forks is 99.6 in; overall width is 45.2 in; wheelbase is 62.9 in. Mast overall height lowered is 89 in. Confirm doorway, aisle, dock-door, and trailer-door clearances against these dimensions before specifying.
