What makes the EFL1603-HV-12 work
The HV-12 is the long-load version of EP's 16 tonne truck, with a 1,200 mm load centre and a 3,750 mm wheelbase. Here's what that means on site.
Rated for long loads
The 16,000 kg rating holds at a 1,200 mm load centre, and the truck comes with 100 x 250 x 2,400 mm forks. A 3,750 mm wheelbase gives a stable base for deep, heavy items.
High-voltage drive
More voltage means more power to the motors. The 90 kW PMSM drive and 60 kW lift motor give 20 km/h travel, 0.4 m/s laden lift speed and 20% gradeability with a load.
Three cooling systems
Separate cooling for the motor, the battery and the hydraulics keeps temperatures steady through long, hard shifts. That protects performance and component life.
Fewer cells, less upkeep
Running at high voltage lets the battery use fewer individual cells, so there are fewer points of failure. The brushless PMSM motors have no brushes to wear out.
Made for wet weather
The truck is IPX4 rated overall, so rain, puddles and damp conditions don't stop work. Pneumatic tyres, twin at the front, and 265 mm of clearance under the middle handle rough ground.
Comfortable, monitored
The cab has a heated Grammer suspension seat and an operator presence system. Telematics report battery condition and performance, so problems can be spotted early.

Anything else, call us on 01 5267 411 (ROI) or 028 3833 7038 (NI).
Can the EFL1603-HV-12 work outside?
Yes. It's IPX4 rated overall, runs on 12.00-20 pneumatic tyres with twin fronts, and has 265 mm of clearance at the centre of the wheelbase.
How is the HV-12 different from the HV-9?
Both lift 16 t. The HV-12 is rated at a 1,200 mm load centre instead of 900 mm, with 2,400 mm forks instead of 1,800 mm. Its wheelbase is 3,750 mm and it's 7,950 mm long, so it needs more room and turns in 5,175 mm.
What lift height does it have?
Standard lift is 4 m, and masts go to 8 m. Because the 16 t rating is at a 1,200 mm load centre, this is the 16 t version to pick for long loads that also need height.
What battery does it use?
A high-voltage lithium-ion battery that needs no watering and supports opportunity charging. Ask us for the current battery specification for this model.
Can it replace a large diesel forklift?
For long or bulky loads, yes. This is the 16 t truck rated at a 1,200 mm load centre, with 95,000 N of drawbar pull and 20% laden gradeability, all on electricity. Send us your load dimensions and we'll check the rating fits.
How much space does it need?
The 1,200 mm load centre makes this the longest 16 t version, at 7,950 mm, with a 5,175 mm turning radius. EP's aisle figure is 8,725 mm for 1000 x 1200 pallets. Width stays at 2,530 mm.
Can I hire the EFL1603-HV-12?
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 EFL1603-HV-12 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.
