EKKO · EK18AC-189Li / EK18AC-216Li

About the EK18AC-189Li / EK18AC-216Li

The EKKO EK18AC Series is a 3-wheel lithium forklift built to lift 4,000 lb in tight operating spaces. Choose the EK18AC-189Li with a 189" lift or the EK18AC-216Li with a 216" lift. Both use a 3-stage full free-lift mast with a side shifter and fork positioner as standard.

Power comes from a 48V/150Ah lithium-ion battery and a high-power front-wheel drive motor. A 480V 3-phase fast charger is standard, with 220V 3-phase and 110V single-phase chargers available at extra cost.

BUILT FOR THE JOB

Attachments standard, lithium inside

The EK18AC Series is for warehouses, plants and distribution facilities that need 4,000 lb of capacity in aisles too tight for a 4-wheel truck. Pick the EK18AC-189Li for mid-height racking or the EK18AC-216Li when pallets go up to 216". Both use a 3-stage full free-lift mast with tilt, and both come with a side shifter and a fork positioner, so operators can square the load and set fork spacing without leaving the seat. A 48V/150Ah lithium-ion battery and a high-power front-wheel drive motor do the work, with a 480V 3-phase fast charger as standard.

WHY THE EK18AC-189LI / EK18AC-216LI

ENGINEERED WHERE IT COUNTS.

4,000 lb, 189" or 216"

Rated for 4,000 lb, with a choice of 189" or 216" maximum lift. The 3-stage full free-lift mast with tilt raises the forks before the mast grows taller, useful in trailers and under low beams.

48V/150Ah Lithium-Ion

A 48V/150Ah lithium-ion battery powers a high-power front-wheel drive motor. A 480V 3-phase fast charger is standard, with 220V 3-phase and 110V single-phase chargers available at extra cost.

Compact 3-Wheel Turning

The 3-wheel layout and compact turning radius let the EK18AC work in tight aisles, crowded docks and busy production areas where a 4-wheel forklift needs more room to turn.

Side Shifter, Fork Positioner

Both attachments are standard. The side shifter lines the load up with the rack, and the fork positioner changes fork spacing hydraulically for different pallet sizes.

WHERE IT WORKS

MADE FOR YOUR OPERATION.

Warehouse racking

Put away 4,000 lb pallets up to 189" or 216" in aisles too tight for a 4-wheel forklift.

Mixed pallet sizes

Handle changing pallet widths through the day using the standard hydraulic fork positioner.

Manufacturing floors

Feed production lines and move finished goods in crowded plant layouts with a compact 3-wheel truck.

Distribution facilities

Load trailers and stage outbound orders with side shift for tight, accurate pallet placement.

BEFORE YOU BUY

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EK18AC-189LI / EK18AC-216LI.

Still unsure? Call (888) 378-6244 or email support@equipmentnation.com. Real people, Mon–Fri.

Which EK18AC lift height should I choose?

The EK18AC-189Li lifts to 189" and the EK18AC-216Li lifts to 216". Both carry 4,000 lb and share the same battery, mast type and attachments. Pick the model that clears your top beam with room to spare. Call (888) 378-6244 with your rack height and we will confirm the right one.

What charger comes with the EK18AC?

A 480V 3-phase fast charger is standard. If your building does not have 480V service, 220V 3-phase and 110V single-phase chargers are available at extra cost. The truck runs on a 48V/150Ah lithium-ion battery. Tell us your electrical service and we will match the charger.

What do the side shifter and fork positioner do?

The side shifter moves the forks left or right so the operator can line up a pallet without moving the truck. The fork positioner changes the spacing between the forks hydraulically, so switching between pallet sizes takes seconds. Both come standard on every EK18AC.

How does the EK18AC differ from the EK18AT?

Both are 4,000 lb 3-wheel lithium forklifts. The EK18AC uses a 48V/150Ah battery, offers 189" or 216" lift and includes a fork positioner as standard. The EK18AT uses a 48V/202Ah battery with dual motors and solid pneumatic tires, and lifts to 185" or 212".

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 $100). 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.
