EP Series — Electric Counterbalance
The entry point into Granvolt’s lithium platform
The EP18 is the lightest-duty model in the EP Series, built for food & beverage and clean indoor warehousing where a compact 1.8 t counterbalance truck covers the pallet weight range without over-specifying the fleet. AC traction of 4 kW and regenerative braking keep energy use low over single- and double-shift duty, and the 80 V lithium (LiFePO4) pack charges 0–80% in 1.5 h — the fastest charge time in the EP line.
IPX4 sealed electrics protect the drive system from washdown and condensation, a common requirement in food-grade warehouses. Every unit is 100% load-tested before shipment under our ISO 9001:2015 quality system at our 68,000 m² manufacturing plant.

Applications
Where the EP18 works
Rated for food & beverage and clean indoor warehousing.
Food & beverage warehousing
IPX4 sealed electrics tolerate washdown routines common in food-grade facilities, with no exhaust to manage in enclosed storage.
Fast turnaround charging
0–80% charge in 1.5 h means the EP18 returns to the floor inside a single break on single- or double-shift duty.
Clean indoor warehousing
1,800 kg @ 500 mm rated capacity suits lighter pallet ranges without the cost of a heavier counterbalance truck.
