Ekko 3,500 lb Electric Forklift – 189" Max Lift Height - Lithium-iron Battery - EK16A-189LI
Ekko EK16A-189Li Electric 3-Wheel Forklift
Need agile power? Upgrade to the Ekko EK16A-189Li 3,500 lb Electric 3-Wheel Forklift for tight-aisle dominance. When warehouse aisles are tighter than usual or stock rooms feel like a maze, picking the right electric forklift can make or break your operation. Too many lifts claim high lift heights but falter under heavy loads or struggle with precise control—leaving you wrestling pallets instead of moving them. The Ekko 3,500 lb Electric forklift (EK16A-189Li) solves that by combining a robust 3.3 kW lift motor with a nimble 3-wheel chassis built for indoor use. With a 3,500 lb load capacity and a towering 189" lift height, you’ll breeze through loading docks and racks without second-guessing your lift choice.
Performance & Applications
Space constraints shouldn’t force you to choose between stability and reach. This Ekko forklift features cushion tires and hydraulic power steering, so corners become smooth turns rather than nerve-racking squeezes. The precision Zapi® controller guarantees consistent acceleration and lift speed, giving you the confidence to stack accurately every time. Best of all, its steel construction with robotic welding stands up to daily impacts and heavy usage—no more worrying about downtime or unexpected repairs.
Tight-Aisle Dominance
Designed specifically for spaces where warehouse aisles are tighter than usual or stock rooms feel like a maze. The nimble 3-wheel chassis and 58.9" turning radius provide maximum maneuverability for confined indoor environments.
Precision Zapi® Control
The advanced Zapi® electronic controller guarantees consistent acceleration, ultra-responsive deceleration, and optimal lift speeds, reducing operator errors while protecting fragile inventory.
High-Performance Lift Power
Equipped with a robust 3.3 kW lift motor that smoothly handles 3,500 lb loads even at its full towering 189" lift height, eliminating jerky starts for confident vertical stacking.
