Need Agile Power? Upgrade to the Ekko EK18RFL 4,000 lb Stand‑Up Rider Forklift for Tight‑Aisle Performance

 

Buying the wrong material handling gear can really slow your operation, chew up valuable time, and rack up repair bills. That’s why the Ekko Lifts 4,000 lb Stand‑Up Rider Forklift (EK18RFL) is built to tackle your toughest loads head‑on. This Rider Forklift packs a hearty 4,000 lb capacity and a 189" lift height so you can load trailers and stock high racks without breaking a sweat. With its German AC drive motor and solid cushion tires, you’ll dodge the stalls and jerky lifts that plague lesser machines. You’ll also appreciate the fast 48 V/420 Ah battery system—enough juice for long shifts and quick top‑ups with the 65 A charger.

When you’re juggling docks, stock rooms, and tight‑aisle work, you need reliability you can count on. The EK18RFL’s steel frame and robotic welding stand up to impacts, quick turns, and directional changes. Adjustable, side‑shifting forks (9.4"–35.6") give you the flexibility to handle odd‑sized pallets. Plus, the Curtis instrument controller puts precise control right at your fingertips. Whether you’re running an Electric Reach Truck or a 4,000 lb Rider Forklift model, this unit delivers confidence every cycle.

Comfort and safety shouldn’t be afterthoughts—especially when you’re lifting 15 ft off the ground. That’s why the ergonomic handle, hydraulic steering, and overhead guard keep operators fresh and focused. The low noise level (<70 dB) and smooth travel speed (12 km/h laden) cut fatigue and boost productivity. Backed by a 3‑year limited warranty, the EK18RFL reassures you that downtime is minimized and ROI is maximized. It’s everything you want in an Ekko Rider Forklift packed into one sleek package.

Not a perfect match? Our forklift collection covers all kinds of applications.
