What makes the EFL35-PRO work
The EFL35-PRO belongs to EP's PRO series, launched in 2025 and aimed squarely at diesel users. These are the parts that make the difference on site.
IC-style chassis, electric drive
The truck is laid out like a diesel, with a 1,753 mm wheelbase, pneumatic tyres and 165 mm of clearance under the middle. Overall width stays at 1,210 mm, so it fits where a standard electric truck goes. It travels at 19 km/h laden and climbs a 20% slope with a load.
Modular lithium battery
The 80V pack is made of three separate modules. If one develops a fault it can be repaired or swapped on its own, rather than replacing the whole battery. Charge from the onboard port or an external charger, and top up in breaks.
Controls on the armrest
Direction, lift, tilt, sideshift and a fourth hydraulic function sit at the end of the armrest, with the horn, indicators, a USB port and an emergency switch. Fork levelling, clamp interlock and a fifth function can be added.
Full touch display
The touchscreen shows charge, speed, direction, wheel angle and an hour meter, and runs the lights, wipers and cab heater. Optional readouts add mast tilt, lift height and load weight, which helps when placing heavy loads high up.
A cab for long days
A large access step, a suspension seat with armrest and a smaller steering wheel make getting in and driving less tiring. Noise at the seat is under 70 dB(A). Controllers sit behind removable panels, so our engineers can reach them quickly.
Safety and fleet data
LED lights, an electric parking brake and automatic stop on ramps come with the truck. Standard telematics report uptime, battery status and location, which helps with fleet planning and remote fault-finding. A heated full cab and a glass-roof guard are on the options list.

Pick the battery to match your shifts
Same truck, different battery sizes, so you only pay for the capacity you'll use.
Most single shifts, with top-up charging in breaks.
Multi-shift work or busy yards where the truck rarely stops. Capacity can also be raised later with an EP upgrade kit.
Not sure which size? Tell us your shift pattern and we'll recommend one.

Service and repairsQuestions about the EFL35-PRO
Anything else, call us on 01 5267 411 (ROI) or 028 3833 7038 (NI).
Can the EFL35-PRO work outside?
Yes. It runs on pneumatic tyres with 165 mm of ground clearance at the centre of the wheelbase, and EP rates it IPX4 against splashing water. It suits yards, docks and uneven ground as well as warehouse floors.
How is the EFL35-PRO different from the EFL353?
Both lift 3.5 t to 6 m on 80V lithium. The EFL35-PRO is EP's newer PRO series, with an IC-style chassis, armrest controls, a touchscreen and telematics as standard. If you don't need those, the EFL353 is the simpler choice.
Which battery size do I need?
The standard pack is 80V 280Ah, and a 560Ah option suits multi-shift work. Because the battery is modular, capacity can be raised later with an upgrade kit. Tell us your shift pattern and we'll recommend a size.
Can it replace my diesel forklift?
That's what the PRO series was designed for. For loads up to 3.5 t and lifts up to 6 m it usually can, with 19 km/h laden travel and 20% laden gradeability. Send us your loads, heights and ground conditions and we'll confirm.
How much space does it need?
It turns in 2,395 mm and is 1,210 mm wide. For 1000 x 1200 pallets carried crossways, allow an aisle of 4,081 mm.
What does the telematics system do?
It records uptime, battery status and the truck's location in real time, and supports remote diagnostics. It comes as standard, so there's nothing extra to fit.
Can I hire the EFL35-PRO?
Yes, on contract hire, at a weekly price on a 12-month contract, with servicing and repairs included. We don't offer short-term hire. See forklift hire.
How much does the EFL35-PRO cost?
It depends on the mast, battery and options you need. Ask for a price and we'll quote it to buy outright or on contract hire.
Who services the EFL35-PRO?
