EKKO EP18JLi Lithium Pallet Jack 4000 lb Capacity W/ PinPad

The EKKO EP18JLi is a fully powered lithium-ion walkie electric pallet jack built for loading and unloading trucks, working loading docks, moving pallets across stock rooms and manufacturing floors, and shuttling freight through general warehouse aisles. Drive, lift, and lowering are all motorized; the operator walks behind the unit and steers from an ergonomic two-handed handle. With a 4,000 lb load capacity at a 23.6-inch load center, the EP18JLi handles the typical 48 in × 40 in GMA pallet and is sized for everyday warehouse pallet work.

Power comes from a 24V / 40 Ah LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) battery — a chemistry that holds rated capacity through deep cycling, charges in opportunity windows without memory effect, and ships at a fraction of the weight of an equivalent sealed lead-acid pack (the battery alone weighs only 26.4 lb). A charger is included with the unit, and total service weight comes in at 319 lb.

This build of the EP18JLi ships with a PinPad: operators enter a code at the handle to enable drive and lift, locking out unauthorised use between shifts. Drive is handled by a 0.75 kW DC motor; lift by a 0.8 kW motor. Stopping is on an electromagnetic brake that engages automatically when the handle is released or returned to the vertical stowed position. Construction is heavy-duty steel with robotic welding throughout.

• 4,000 lb load capacity at 23.6-inch load center
• 24V / 40 Ah LiFePO4 lithium battery included — light (26.4 lb), maintenance-free, no memory effect
• Charger included with the unit
• PinPad operator enable — lock out unauthorized use between shifts
• 0.75 kW drive motor; 0.8 kW lift motor; both run on DC drive control
• Electromagnetic brake engages automatically when the handle returns to the vertical position
• Ergonomic two-handed handle with battery-level indicator, creep-speed (turtle) toggle, and integrated throttle
• Polyurethane drive wheel (Ø 8.26 in × 2.75 in) and tandem bearing wheels (Ø 3.15 in × 2.36 in)
• Pinwheel capability for tight in-place turning
• Driving speed up to 4.5 km/h unloaded / 4.2 km/h loaded; 10% / 5% gradeability unloaded / loaded
• Heavy-duty steel chassis with robotic welding
• Operates at ≤ 70 dB(A) — quiet enough for shared indoor space
• 319 lb service weight (including battery)

The EP18JLi is sized for standard pallet handling in indoor warehouse environments — loading docks, stock rooms, manufacturing floors, and distribution aisles. Forks are 27 in × 45 in (overall fork-pair width × fork length), with a 5.9-inch single fork width and 1.97-inch fork thickness for GMA pallets and most stringer / block pallets. Aisle requirement is 69.7 in for 39.37 in × 47.24 in pallets handled crossways and 71.6 in for 31.5 in × 47.24 in pallets handled lengthways. Turning radius is 53.7 in. Confirm doorway clearance against the 61.81-inch overall length and 43.9-inch handle height before ordering for spaces with tight ingress.

• EP18JLi walkie pallet jack with PinPad enable
• (1) LiFePO4 lithium iron phosphate battery, 24V / 40 Ah, 26.4 lb (installed)
• Charger

The EP18JLi ships with a 3-year limited warranty from EKKO Material Handling Equipment Manufacturing.

What does the PinPad do?

The PinPad is an operator-enable feature on the handle: an authorized user enters a PIN code before the drive and lift functions can be used. It is an anti-theft and unauthorized-use control for shared warehouse equipment. Supplier source content states the unit ships with the PinPad on this build; contact Forklift King for the operator-code procedure and any administrator settings.

What does "LiFePO4" mean for daily use?

LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) is a lithium chemistry that tolerates partial-state-of-charge use and opportunity charging without the memory effect of older battery chemistries. Operators can plug the unit in during breaks instead of completing a full discharge cycle, and the battery is significantly lighter than a comparable sealed lead-acid pack — this unit's battery alone weighs 26.4 lb.

What pallet sizes does the EP18JLi handle?

Forks are 45 in long with 27-inch overall fork-pair width and 5.9-inch single fork width, sized for standard GMA 48 × 40 pallets and most stringer / block pallets. Aisle requirement is 69.7 in for 39.37 in × 47.24 in pallets handled crossways and 71.6 in for 31.5 in × 47.24 in pallets handled lengthways. Confirm pallet specifics against the fork dimensions in the spec table.

Is the battery and charger included?

Yes. The EP18JLi ships with a 24V / 40 Ah LiFePO4 battery installed and a charger in the box. No additional battery or charging-station purchase is required to operate the unit.

What stops the unit when the operator lets go of the handle?

An electromagnetic brake engages automatically when the handle is released or returned to the vertical (stowed) position, holding the unit on slopes and bringing it to a stop when the operator steps away.
