EP Series: Electric Counterbalance Forklifts

Three lithium counterbalance trucks — 1.8, 2.5 and 3.0 tonnes at a 500 mm load center — on one 80 V LiFePO4 platform with opportunity charging.

Where the line earns its keep

Selection notes

The platform decision first: all three trucks run 80 V LiFePO4 with opportunity charging, so a mixed EP fleet shares charging arithmetic, spares thinking and operator habit. The voltage-class reasoning is in the 48V vs 80V guide; the charging pattern is in the opportunity charging guide.

Capacity second, honestly: the three ratings all assume a 500 mm load center, and the derated load chart governs anything longer or higher — read it before the purchase order, per the load center and load chart guides.

Certification third: the EP battery system carries TÜV Rheinland certification, and documents issue per quotation — see the certifications and quality page for the full statement.
