EKKO · EK40T-Li

About the EK40T-Li

The EKKO EK40T-Li brings 8,000 lb of capacity to an 80V lithium forklift. It lifts to 185" with 43.7" of free lift and runs on solid pneumatic tires, so heavy loads can move between the warehouse, the dock and the paved yard without propane or diesel.

An 80V/230Ah lithium battery powers an AC drive motor. A 480V 3-phase charger is standard, with 220V 3-phase and 110V single-phase chargers available at extra cost. Cascade side shift and a pre-plumbed Shimadzu 4-way valve come standard.

EKKO EK40T-Li Lithium Powered Forklift, 8000 lb Capacity.

BUILT FOR THE JOB

Heavy capacity without an engine

The EK40T-Li is for operations that need heavy-duty capacity but want to leave propane and diesel behind. It lifts 8,000 lb to 185" with 43.7" of free lift, the highest capacity of EKKO's lithium forklifts on our store, ahead of the 7,000 lb EK35GT-Li. An 80V/230Ah lithium battery drives an AC motor and charges from a standard 480V 3-phase charger, with 220V 3-phase and 110V single-phase options at extra cost. Solid pneumatic tires handle rough docks and yards, and Cascade side shift and a pre-plumbed Shimadzu 4-way valve come standard.

WHY THE EK40T-LI

ENGINEERED WHERE IT COUNTS.

01

8,000 lb, 185" Lift

Rated for 8,000 lb at a 24" load center with a 185" lift height and 43.7" of free lift. The 42.1" forks and side-shifting carriage handle heavy pallets and dense materials.

02

80V/230Ah Lithium Battery

The lithium battery drives an AC motor and charges from a standard 480V 3-phase charger. Optional 220V 3-phase and 110V single-phase chargers are available at extra cost to match your facility's power.

03

Solid Pneumatic Tires

Solid pneumatic tires handle uneven concrete, dock plates and paved yards and resist punctures. That lets one lithium truck work both inside the building and out on the lot.

04

Side Shift, 4-Way Valve

Cascade side shift and a pre-plumbed Shimadzu 4-way valve are standard, so the truck is ready for an attachment. Steel construction with robotic welding supports heavy daily use.

WHERE IT WORKS

MADE FOR YOUR OPERATION.

Heavy manufacturing

Move dies, castings and heavy raw material indoors and out without engine exhaust in production areas.

Steel distribution

Handle bundles of steel and pipe between indoor storage bays and outdoor loading areas on solid tires.

Paper and packaging

Carry dense, heavy pallets of paper and packaging stock around converting plants and warehouses.

Beverage warehouses

Move heavy beverage pallets between trailers, docks and floor storage with quiet, fume-free electric power.

BEFORE YOU BUY

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EK40T-LI.

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

What charging power does the EK40T-Li need?

The standard charger runs on 480V 3-phase power. For facilities without 480V, optional 220V 3-phase and 110V single-phase chargers are available at extra cost. Tell us what service you have at (888) 378-6244, and we will match the right charger to your building.

How does the EK40T-Li compare with EKKO's other lithium forklifts?

At 8,000 lb, the EK40T-Li has the highest capacity of the EKKO lithium forklifts we carry. It sits above the 7,000 lb EK35GT-Li and the 5,000 lb EK25T-Li. All lift to 185" on solid pneumatic tires, and the EK40T-Li uses an 80V/230Ah battery.

What is the EK40T-Li's free lift?

Free lift is 43.7". That is how far the forks rise before the mast extends upward, which helps when loading inside trailers or working under low overhead obstructions. The mast stands 89" with the forks down, and maximum lift height is 185".

Does the EK40T-Li include side shift?

Yes. Cascade side shift is standard, along with a pre-plumbed Shimadzu 4-way valve. Side shift lets the operator align heavy loads without repositioning the truck, and the fourth function is ready for an attachment such as a fork positioner.

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.
