Buying a subpar diesel forklift can grind your warehouse to a halt—costly downtime, frequent repairs, and frustrated operators become the norm. With the Ekko 7,000 lb Diesel Forklift (EK35D), you get a Tier 4 EPA‑compliant Mitsubishi 4EG engine that keeps your operations humming. Built by Ekko Lifts for heavy‑duty material handling, this diesel workhorse tackles up to 7,000 lbs with confidence and consistency. Operators appreciate the enlarged cabin space and heightened overhead guard, which give extra room and clear sightlines when stacking at 185" high. And because you’re running solid pneumatic tires and a robust chassis, you’ll spend less time on maintenance and more time on the job.
In busy distribution centers, vibration and noise are major headaches. The EK35D’s multifunctional suspended seat absorbs shocks and balances the driver’s weight, cutting down fatigue and improving focus. Meanwhile, its impedance‑composite muffler keeps sound levels in check, so you can communicate clearly on the floor. Steering‑wheel adjustment is always within easy reach, making operator changes a breeze. That means smoother shifts, happier drivers, and a safer work environment.
Beyond raw power and comfort, you need reliability you can count on. The EK35D’s solid pneumatic tires and 66.9" wheelbase ensure stability and traction on varied surfaces. Hydraulic floor‑pedal service brakes provide predictable stopping power, while the large arc‑shape front leg of the overhead guard boosts visibility when loading or unloading. With a competitive price point and Ekko’s reputation for build quality, this diesel forklift delivers maximum uptime and ROI.
We think this one delivers — but our forklift collection has options for all situations.
