Product Application
The EFXZ Series is ideal for warehousing, logistics centers, and manufacturing sites that demand both performance and sustainability. Its pneumatic tires and robust steel chassis provide exceptional stability for indoor and outdoor operations. The remanufactured IC base ensures strength, while the Li-ion power system offers long runtime, fast charging, and reduced maintenance. Available with multiple mast configurations and customizable fork dimensions, the EFXZ series adapts easily to diverse material handling tasks, from pallet transport to high stacking in industrial environments.
Features
Comprehensive remanufacturing process
Each EFXZ truck is completely disassembled, inspected, and rebuilt in EP’s remanufacturing facility. Critical components such as the chassis and counterweight are refurbished, while the powertrain is replaced with a state-of-the-art lithium-ion system. This ensures the forklift delivers like-new reliability with a fraction of the cost and environmental impact.
Advanced Li-ion technology for maximum efficiency
The EFXZ is powered by EP’s 80V Li-ion battery, available in 150Ah to 410Ah configurations. The lithium system offers fast and opportunity charging, zero maintenance, and consistent power output. Combined with PMSM motors, it provides smoother acceleration, reduced noise, and higher energy efficiency compared to IC models.
Rugged performance with renewed reliability
With load capacities up to 3 tons, travel speeds of 12 km/h, and gradeability up to 20%, the EFXZ performs effortlessly across demanding applications. Its pneumatic tires, reinforced frame, and hydraulic braking system ensure dependable operation on uneven floors and outdoor terrains, meeting the same performance and safety standards as new forklifts.
Sustainable and cost-effective material handling
By reusing IC forklift structures and converting them to electric power, the EFXZ Series reduces manufacturing waste and CO₂ emissions. It offers up to 40% lower operational costs, extended service life, and full EP warranty coverage, making it a responsible and economical alternative for fleet upgrades.

FAQs
What is the EFXZ Series and how is it different from a standard electric forklift?
The EFXZ Series is EP’s innovative remanufactured Li-ion forklift line, built by converting used IC forklifts into fully electric trucks. Each unit undergoes a complete factory-level refurbishment, replacing the engine, gearbox, and fuel system with an 80V Li-ion powertrain. The result is a forklift that performs like new — but with lower emissions, reduced costs, and a smaller environmental footprint.
How reliable is a remanufactured EFXZ forklift compared to a new model?
Every EFXZ forklift is disassembled, inspected, and rebuilt according to EP’s strict manufacturing standards. Structural components are restored, and key systems such as axles, brakes, and hydraulics are replaced or reconditioned. The Li-ion battery and PMSM motors are brand-new, ensuring performance, safety, and durability equivalent to a new electric forklift — all backed by EP’s warranty.
What type of battery and power system does the EFXZ use?
The EFXZ Series features EP’s 80V Li-ion battery system, available in 150Ah to 410Ah configurations.
