Tight on Space? Power Up with the Ekko EK16A‑138 3,500 lb Electric Cushion‑Tire Forklift for Narrow Aisles

 

When you’re squeezing through narrow aisles or working in tight warehouse bays, choosing the right electric forklift can make or break daily productivity. Budget models often sacrifice power or stability—leaving you juggling heavy pallets on shaky platforms. That’s where the Ekko EK16A‑138 3,500 lb Electric Forklift shines, delivering a robust 138″ max lift height and a punchy 3.3 kW AC lift motor without blowing your budget.

Built for indoor use on flat surfaces—from loading docks to manufacturing floors—the EK16A‑138 pairs steel‑reinforced construction with robotic welding for rock‑solid reliability. Ergonomic Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS) and precision tilt controls keep operators comfortable and in complete command, so you breeze through daily tasks and minimize downtime.

Cushion tires, a 3‑way valve side‑shift, and adjustable forks (7.9–26″) ensure smooth maneuvering and pinpoint load placement. A long‑lasting 24 V/320 Ah battery keeps you running through lengthy shifts, while the quick‑response Zapi controller delivers intuitive throttle control for operators of any skill level.
