About the EK16A-216Li

EKKO EK16A-216Li 3-Wheel Lithium Forklift, 3,500 lb Capacity, 216" Lift Height

BUILT FOR THE JOB

Maximum height in tight aisles

The EK16A-216Li is for indoor operations with tight aisles and tall racking: stockrooms, small distribution centers and manufacturing floors where a 4-wheel forklift cannot turn. It lifts 3,500 lb to 216", or 18 ft, the most in the EK16A family, with 31.5" of free lift and side shifting forks. A 24V/200Ah lithium battery and 24V/50A charger are included. It uses the family's 24V AC drive motor, 3.3 kW lift motor, Zapi controller and hydraulic power steering. Its lowered mast is 95", so check door heights on your route.

WHY THE EK16A-216LI

ENGINEERED WHERE IT COUNTS.

01

3,500 lb to 216"

Lift 3,500 lb at a 24" load center to 216", or 18 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.

02

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.

03

Tight 3-Wheel Turning

The 3-wheel chassis turns in a 58.9" radius and measures 42.1" wide, with a 95" lowered mast. Cushion tires are built for flat indoor floors, where EKKO recommends using it.

04

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.

Tall stockrooms

Reach upper pallet positions up to 18 ft in compact stockrooms and back rooms with tight aisles.

Small distribution

Load trucks at the dock and put away pallets high in small distribution centers with limited floor space.

Manufacturing floors

Move materials around machines and stack them high in plants where aisles are narrow and turning space is limited.

Indoor loading docks

Unload trailers at interior docks and turn quickly in crowded staging areas on flat concrete floors.

BEFORE YOU BUY

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EK16A-216LI.

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

How does the EK16A-216Li compare with other EK16A models?

All EK16A models lift 3,500 lb on a 3-wheel cushion-tire chassis with side shift. The EK16A-216Li reaches 216", the highest in the family, on a 24V/200Ah lithium battery. The EK16A-189Li reaches 189" on the same battery. The lead-acid EK16A-138 and EK16A-177 use a 24V/320Ah battery.

Will the EK16A-216Li fit through my doors?

With the forks down, the mast stands 95" tall, taller than a typical 80-inch interior door, so plan routes through dock doors and roll-ups. The truck is 42.1" wide. If clearance is tight, the EK16A-189Li has an 84.75" lowered mast. Call (888) 378-6244 with your measurements.

Can the EK16A-216Li be used outdoors?

EKKO recommends it for indoor use on flat surfaces. Its cushion tires and 3-wheel design are built for smooth concrete in warehouses, stockrooms and plants. For rough dock plates or paved yards, a solid pneumatic model such as the EK18AT-212Li may be a better fit.

What is included with the EK16A-216Li?

The 24V/200Ah lithium battery and 24V/50A charger are included, along with side shifting forks, adjustable forks and hydraulic power steering. EKKO lists a 3-year limited warranty. Freight is free to the lower 48 on orders over $500, or pick it up free in Pomona, CA.

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.
