Buying a bargain‑basement LPG forklift often means dealing with frequent breakdowns, poor fuel efficiency, and an uncomfortable ride that slows down every job. The Ekko 8,500 lb LPG forklift is built to banish those headaches. With its PSI 2.4 L engine meeting Tier 4 EPA standards, you’ll get reliable power and lower emissions. The optimized hydraulic system keeps fuel consumption in check, so you spend less at the pump and more on moving product. And thanks to its 185″ maximum lift height, you can stack pallets farther and higher without sacrificing stability.
Comfort matters when you’re behind the controls all day. That’s why Ekko Lifts equipped the EK40TLP with a semi‑suspension seat, a compact steering wheel, and an enlarged operator space under an arc‑shaped overhead guard. Vibration‑absorbing cushion connections and a whole‑cab suspension soak up shocks from uneven floors. Plus, the electro‑hydraulic direction switch feels intuitive—just like driving a car—so you’ll breeze through tight aisles with a 70.8″ wheelbase and small turning radius.
Durability and precision go hand in hand on the EK40TLP. Its Cascade® Side Shift and factory‑pre‑plumbed Shimadzu® 4‑Way Valve let you make micro‑adjustments without moving the entire truck. The lowering damping device inside the mast cuts noise and jolts when goods settle back on the ground. Solid pneumatic tires mean fewer flats and long wear—indoors or out. In short, this 8,500 lb forklift gives you the performance of a heavyweight while maintaining the control of a nimble champion—all at a competitive price.
