What makes the EFL2503-HV-12 work
The EFL2503-HV-12 is the heaviest-lifting truck in EP's high-voltage range. Here's what it offers on a demanding site.
25 tonnes at 1,200 mm
It's rated for 25,000 kg at a 1,200 mm load centre, with 110 x 250 x 2,400 mm forks on a 3,080 mm wide carriage. A 4,300 mm wheelbase gives a long, stable base.
The most powerful in the range
A 135 kW PMSM drive motor and a 90 kW lift motor are the biggest in EP's high-voltage line-up. It travels at 22 km/h laden and climbs 20% with a full load.
Efficient lithium power
The 25 t truck carries a 456Ah pack at 618V, twice the 228Ah of the 16 t and 18 t models. It's rated for up to 4,000 cycles, takes fast and opportunity charging, and EP claims up to 15% lower electricity use.
Air-conditioned cab
The fully enclosed cab has air conditioning, a suspension seat, fingertip hydraulic controls and an operator presence system. LED work lights and a rear-view camera help on big, busy sites.
Cooling and protection
Water cooling looks after the motor and battery, holding the battery at around 30 to 35°C, and an oil circuit cools the hydraulics. Overcharge, over-temperature and short-circuit protection are built in.
Made for harsh sites
Twin 14.00-24 front tyres, 220 mm of clearance under the mast and 370 mm under the middle handle broken ground. It's IPX4 rated, with IP67 high-voltage parts, and works from -20 to 40°C.

Service and repairsQuestions about the EFL2503-HV-12
Anything else, call us on 01 5267 411 (ROI) or 028 3833 7038 (NI).
Can the EFL2503-HV-12 work outside?
Yes. The 25 t truck stands on 14.00-24 tyres with twin fronts, with 370 mm clearance mid-wheelbase and 220 mm under the mast. High-voltage parts are IP67, the truck as a whole IPX4, and it's rated for -20 to 40°C.
What lift height does it have?
The standard mast lifts 4,000 mm, and the maximum lift height is 5,000 mm. If you need to stack higher, the 18 t models go to 8,000 mm.
How is it different from the EFL1803-HV-12?
Both are rated at a 1,200 mm load centre. The 2503 lifts 25 t against 18 t, with a 135 kW drive motor instead of 90 kW and a 3,080 mm overall width instead of 2,530 mm. It also comes with an air-conditioned cab.
Can it replace a large diesel forklift?
It's the largest truck in the EP range we sell, rated 25 t at a 1,200 mm load centre with a 135 kW drive motor and 160,000 N of drawbar pull. For heavy work in ports or steel yards it's usually a match, minus the fuel and engine servicing. Send us your loads and we'll confirm.
How much space does it need?
It's 8,860 mm long and 3,080 mm wide, turns in 6,350 mm, and weighs 38,700 kg in service. Check your ground and any floors or bridges can take that weight.
What battery does it use?
EP's spec lists a 618V, 456Ah lithium-ion pack weighing 1,864 kg, the largest of the HV range. It's maintenance-free, suits fast and opportunity charging, and is water-cooled to around 30 to 35°C.
Can I hire the EFL2503-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 EFL2503-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.
