Goodwins replaced diesel in a busy builders' yard
Goodwins moved to the 3.8-tonne EP X5: the lifting power of a 4-tonne diesel, charging to 70% in about an hour. We have the same truck, the EFL382X5, in stock now.

Some of the businesses we supply
Switching from diesel or LPG
EP's 4-wheel electric forklifts lift as much as the diesel and LPG trucks they replace, inside and out, up to 25 tonnes.
- No exhaust. The same truck works in the yard and inside, in food production too.
- Lower running costs. Electricity costs less than diesel, and there's no engine, oil or filters to service.
- Charge on breaks. Lithium batteries top up whenever the truck stops, with no battery room.
- Quieter. Drivers and the people around them can talk and hear warnings.

How much does an electric forklift cost in Ireland?
It depends on capacity, mast height, battery and options such as a cab or side shift. Forklifts we have in stock start from €19,950 to buy, or €95 a week on contract hire (on a 12-month contract), excluding VAT. Every truck in stock on this page shows its price. For anything else, tell us what you need and we'll send you a price the same working day.
How quickly can you deliver?
For trucks in stock, we confirm the delivery date in your quote. We deliver on our own trailer anywhere in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Trucks ordered new from the EP factory take longer, so ask us for a delivery date.
Can electric forklifts be used outdoors and in the rain?
Yes. EP's 4-wheel electric forklifts are built for yards as well as warehouses, with sealed electrics and models rated against water (the CPD20L1 is IPX4, for example). Pneumatic tyres, cabs and lights are available on many models. Tell us about your ground, ramps and weather and we'll recommend the right truck.
Should I choose a 3-wheel or 4-wheel electric forklift?
A 3-wheel forklift turns much tighter (the TVL151 has a 1,450 mm turning radius, against 2,347 mm for the 4-wheel EFL303), so it suits narrow aisles, trailers and smooth indoor floors. A 4-wheel forklift is steadier on uneven ground, ramps and yards, and lifts heavier loads.
What lifting capacity do I need?
Rated capacity is measured with the load's centre 500 mm from the fork face. It drops as you lift higher, carry longer loads or add attachments such as a side shift or fork positioner. Choose a truck with headroom over your heaviest load at your highest lift. We'll check the load chart against your loads before you order.
Are EP electric forklifts lithium-ion?
Most EP forklifts we supply run on lithium-ion batteries, which charge on breaks and need no watering. A few compact models can also take a lead-acid battery.
Can an electric forklift replace my diesel forklift?
In most cases, yes. EP's 4-wheel EFL range is built to do the work of diesel and LPG trucks, inside and out, and the high-capacity trucks go up to 25 tonnes. Goodwins replaced diesel with the 3.8-tonne EP X5 in a busy builders' yard.
How long does charging take, and how long does a charge last?
EP's lithium-ion batteries can be topped up on breaks without harming them, so there are no battery changes and no battery room. Some models, like the EFL302X2 and EFL252X2, have the charger built in. The 3.8-tonne EFL382X5 charges to 70% in about an hour. How long a charge lasts depends on the truck, the battery and the work, so we size the battery to your shifts.
Can I see an electric forklift before I buy?
Yes. You can see EP trucks, and our automation demo warehouse, at our Navan depot. Tell us what you lift, how high and where, and we'll match the right truck and send you a price.
Who services the forklift after I buy it?
Our own mobile engineers service and repair the trucks we supply, across all 32 counties, and carry out the thorough examination (GA1 in the Republic, LOLER in Northern Ireland). Genuine EP parts come direct from the factory.
