Need Maximum Reach? Upgrade to the Ekko EK18RF 4,000 lb Stand‑Up Rider Forklift for 216″ High‑Lift Performance

 

When you need to maneuver in tight aisles and reach towering racks, a subpar rider forklift can slow you down, cause damage, and eat into your uptime. Too many electric rider forklifts stall mid‑lift, lack the precision you need in narrow spaces, or demand constant maintenance that cuts into your bottom line. That’s exactly why the Ekko 4,000 lb Stand‑Up Rider Forklift  – 216" Max Lift Height (EK18RF) was built: to give you the confidence and performance to handle every load without hesitation.

Built from heavy‑gauge steel and precision robotic welding, this electric rider forklift stands up to daily warehouse demands—impact, quick turns, and heavy loads—with complete confidence. Its German AC drive motor delivers smooth power at every lift, while the Curtis instrument controller ensures intuitive handling. Solid cushion load tires and polyurethane drive wheels let you glide over concrete without sacrificing traction or stability.

The included 48V / 420Ah lead‑acid battery keeps you running longer between charges, so you’re not stopping mid‑shift for a recharge. Ergonomic handlebars and hydraulic steering put every control right at your fingertips, reducing operator fatigue and boosting safety. Backed by a 3‑year limited warranty, the Ekko EK18RF is engineered to work as hard as you do—day in and day out.

If this model fits your needs, great — if not, our Forklift Collection has you covered.

Key Features of the Ekko EK18RF Rider Forklift You’ll Love:
