BUILT FOR THE JOB

Lithium convenience, compact chassis

The EK16A-189Li is for indoor operations that want the tight turning of a 3-wheel forklift with lithium power. It lifts 3,500 lb to 189", 12" more than the lead-acid EK16A-177, with 31.5" of free lift and side shifting forks. A 24V/200Ah lithium battery and 24V/50A charger are included, and it shares the family's 24V AC drive motor, 3.3 kW lift motor, Zapi controller and hydraulic power steering. Its 84.75" lowered mast keeps it compact. If your racking goes higher, the EK16A-216Li reaches 18 ft on the same chassis.

WHY THE EK16A-189LI

ENGINEERED WHERE IT COUNTS.

3,500 lb to 189"

Lift 3,500 lb at a 24" load center to 189", or 15.75 ft, with 31.5" of free lift. Mast tilt is 3 degrees forward and 6 degrees back, and side shifting forks help place loads cleanly.

24V/200Ah Lithium Battery

A 24V/200Ah lithium battery and a 24V/50A charger are included. They power a 24V AC drive motor and a 3.3 kW lift motor, managed by a Zapi controller for smooth, efficient work.

Tight 3-Wheel Turning

The 3-wheel chassis turns in a 58.9" radius and measures 42.1" wide, with a 84.75" lowered mast. Cushion tires are built for flat indoor floors, where EKKO recommends using it.

Adjustable Forks, HPS

The 42.1" forks adjust from 7.9" to 26" to fit a range of pallets. Hydraulic power steering keeps steering light, and robotically welded steel handles heavy use and constant direction changes.

WHERE IT WORKS

MADE FOR YOUR OPERATION.

Mid-height racking

Stack pallets up to 15.75 ft in compact warehouses where a 4-wheel truck needs too much aisle to turn.

Tight stockrooms

Receive and put away inventory in tight back rooms and stockrooms on smooth indoor concrete floors.

Manufacturing floors

Move components between machines and storage racks in plants with narrow aisles and limited turning room.

Indoor loading docks

Load and unload trailers at interior docks, then turn quickly in crowded staging areas on lithium power.

BEFORE YOU BUY

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EK16A-189LI.

Still unsure? Call (844) 455-4327 or email support@equipmentnation.com. Real people, Mon–Fri.

How does the EK16A-189Li compare with the EK16A-177?

Both lift 3,500 lb on a 3-wheel cushion-tire chassis with side shift. The EK16A-189Li lifts to 189" on a 24V/200Ah lithium battery and tilts 3 degrees forward and 6 back. The lead-acid EK16A-177 lifts to 177" on a 24V/320Ah battery and tilts 2 and 4 degrees. The 177 costs less.

Is the EK16A-189Li for indoor use only?

EKKO recommends it for indoor use on flat surfaces. Its cushion tires and 3-wheel layout are built for smooth concrete floors. If your work includes rough dock plates or paved yards, ask us about a solid pneumatic model such as the EK18AT-185Li at (888) 378-6244.

What is included with the EK16A-189Li?

The 24V/200Ah lithium battery and 24V/50A charger are included, along with side shifting forks, hydraulic power steering and adjustable forks. EKKO lists a 3-year limited warranty. The truck ships new and factory-direct, and freight is free to the lower 48 on orders over $500.

How much clearance does the EK16A-189Li need?

With the forks down, the mast stands 84.75" tall, and the truck is 42.1" wide with a 58.9" turning radius. At full lift the forks reach 189", so check ceiling, light and sprinkler clearance at the top of the lift. Send us your measurements and we will confirm the fit.

How long until it ships?

We confirm stock and your ship date by email within 1 business day. In-stock units usually leave the warehouse in 2–5 business days, then freight transit takes 3–7 business days.

Is shipping really free?

Yes, on orders over $500 to the 48 contiguous states (orders under $500 ship for a flat $150). You'll need a dock or forklift to unload; otherwise choose liftgate delivery (+$150).

Can I finance it?

Yes. Choose Shop Pay Installments or Affirm at checkout to spread payments out, or call us about ACH/wire for large orders.
