BUILT FOR THE JOB

The lower-mast stand-up rider

The EK18RFL is the lowest-mast, lowest-priced model in EKKO's EK18RF stand-up rider family. It is built for docks and warehouses where operators step on and off all day and racking tops out around 15.75 ft. It lifts 4,000 lb to 189" with 52.2" of free lift, and its mast stands 82.6" when lowered, 9.2" lower than the EK18RF. A 48V/420Ah battery powers a German AC drive motor through a Curtis Instruments controller, and hydraulic steering keeps handling light. For 216" of lift, step up to the EK18RF or EK18RF-Li.

WHY THE EK18RFL

ENGINEERED WHERE IT COUNTS.

4,000 lb to 189"

Lift 4,000 lb at a 24" load center to 189", or 15.75 ft, with 52.2" of free lift. Side shifting forks and 3-degree forward, 5-degree back tilt help place each pallet cleanly.

48V/420Ah Battery Included

The included 48V/420Ah battery powers a 6 kW German AC drive motor and a 7.7 kW lift motor through a Curtis Instruments controller. A 480V 3-phase charger is standard, with 220V and 110V options.

Stand-Up Rider Design

The operator stands in the compartment with a 9.1" step-on height, so stepping on and off at docks and staging lanes is quick. The truck turns in a 58.5" radius and needs a 10.5 ft aisle.

Cushion and Poly Tires

Solid cushion load tires and a polyurethane drive tire are built for smooth indoor concrete. Robotically welded steel construction stands up to frequent impacts and constant direction changes.

WHERE IT WORKS

MADE FOR YOUR OPERATION.

Cross-dock transfers

Transfer pallets between inbound and outbound trailers with frequent stops and quick step-on, step-off operation.

Mid-height racking

Put away 4,000 lb pallets on beams up to 189" in distribution centers with standard racking heights.

Trailer loading

Load and unload trailers at indoor docks, using 52.2" of free lift to stack inside without raising the mast.

Staging and replenishment

Shuttle pallets between staging lanes and pick areas all shift, stepping off to scan and check loads.

BEFORE YOU BUY

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EK18RFL.

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

How does the EK18RFL compare with the EK18RF?

Both are 4,000 lb stand-up rider forklifts with a 48V/420Ah battery, German AC drive motor, Curtis controller and side shifting forks. The EK18RFL lifts to 189" with an 82.6" lowered mast and 52.2" of free lift. The EK18RF lifts to 216" with a 91.8" mast and 61.3" of free lift. The EK18RFL costs less.

What charger comes with the EK18RFL?

EKKO lists a 48V/65A charger that runs on 480V 3-phase power as standard. Optional 220V 3-phase or 110V single-phase chargers are available at extra cost. Call (888) 378-6244 and we will confirm the charger that matches your facility's electrical service.

How much aisle space does the EK18RFL need?

EKKO lists a 10.5 ft aisle width requirement and a 58.5" minimum turning radius. The truck is 42.5" wide and 117.8" long with forks, or 72.5" to the fork face. Send us your rack and aisle layout and we will confirm the fit before you buy.

What floors is the EK18RFL built for?

It uses solid cushion load tires and a polyurethane drive tire, which are best on smooth indoor concrete. It suits warehouses, distribution centers and indoor docks. For rough outdoor yards, look at a solid pneumatic forklift instead. We can help you choose.

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.
