What makes the EFL25-PRO work
The EFL25-PRO is the 2.5 tonne model in EP's Pro Series, launched in 2025 to follow the EFL 2 and EFL 3 ranges. Here's what sets it apart.
Power to replace diesel
A 15 kW AC drive motor and 30 kW pump motor give 19 km/h laden and 22% gradeability with a load. Maximum drawbar pull is 18,735 N, so ramps and heavy loads are handled without fuss.
Battery built from modules
The 80V pack is three separate modules in series, and each one can be repaired or swapped on its own. Capacity runs from 280Ah to 560Ah or 628Ah, and it can be upgraded later with a kit if your work grows.
Made for outside
Pneumatic tyres, 165 mm of ground clearance and IPX4 water resistance let it work on wet, uneven yards. An electric parking brake with automatic stop on ramps adds peace of mind on slopes.
Armrest controls and touchscreen
Fingertip or joystick controls on the armrest handle lift, tilt, sideshift and a fourth function. An OLED touchscreen shows charge, speed, steer angle and hours, and also runs the lights, wipers and heater.
A quieter, roomier cab
A large access step, suspension seat, smaller steering wheel and glass roof make long shifts easier. EP measures under 70 dB(A) at the seat.
Telematics included
Standard telematics records truck and battery use, uptime and location, and supports remote diagnostics. Options include a full cab with heater, load weight and height display, and one-button fork levelling.

Service and repairsQuestions about the EFL25-PRO
Anything else, call us on 01 5267 411 (ROI) or 028 3833 7038 (NI).
Can the EFL25-PRO work outside?
Yes. It has pneumatic tyres, 165 mm of ground clearance under the chassis and IPX4 water resistance, so wet yards and uneven ground are fine. A full cab with heater is available for winter.
How is it different from the EFL253?
Both lift 2.5 t to 6 m on 80V lithium-ion. The Pro adds a faster 19 km/h laden travel speed, a modular battery up to 628Ah, armrest controls, a touchscreen and standard telematics, and EP rates it IPX4.
Which battery size do I need?
The 80V battery comes in 280Ah, 560Ah or 628Ah. For single shifts the 280Ah usually works, especially with top-ups in breaks. For longer hours, tell us your shift pattern and we'll recommend a size.
Can it replace my diesel forklift?
That's what it's designed for. It matches a 2.5 t diesel for capacity and pace, works outside, and has no fuel, oil or exhaust. Send us your loads, lift heights and ground conditions and we'll confirm.
Does the battery need maintenance?
No watering or equalising charges. A battery management system looks after the cells, and because the pack is three separate modules, a fault in one doesn't mean replacing the whole battery.
Will it run attachments?
Yes. The hydraulics supply 180 bar at 35 l/min for attachments, and the armrest controls include a fourth function as standard, with a fifth function and clamp interlock as options.
Can I hire the EFL25-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 EFL25-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 EFL25-PRO?
Our own engineers, from our Navan depot and Portadown office, using EP parts. We look after customers across Ireland and Northern Ireland.
