What makes the EFL30-PRO work
The EFL30-PRO is the 3 tonne member of EP's Pro Series, which followed the EFL 2 and EFL 3 ranges in 2025. Here's what it brings to a busy site.
Built to replace diesel
A 17 kW drive motor and 30 kW lift motor give 19 km/h laden, 0.55 m/s lift and 22% gradeability with a load. Maximum drawbar pull is 22,350 N.
Modular lithium battery
Three 80V modules work in series, and any one can be repaired or replaced on its own. Choose 280Ah, 560Ah or 628Ah, with a dealer upgrade kit if your hours grow. Both onboard and external charging ports are fitted.
Stable and weatherproof
A 1,753 mm wheelbase, pneumatic tyres and 165 mm of ground clearance keep it steady on rough ground. EP rates it IPX4, and an electric parking brake with auto stop on ramps adds safety.
Everything at the fingertips
Armrest controls, fingertip or joystick, handle lift, tilt, sideshift and a fourth function, plus horn and indicators. A touchscreen shows charge, speed, steer angle and hours and runs the lights, wipers and heater.
Comfortable cab
Getting in and out all day is easier thanks to the biggest access step in its class. The 3 t Pro driver sits on a suspended seat with armrest under a tempered glass roof, with a smaller wheel and storage to hand. EP measures less than 70 dB(A) at the seat.
Connected as standard
Every EFL30-PRO leaves the factory with telematics, so a fleet manager sees hours, battery state and location, and our engineers can run remote diagnostics. Useful extras include a heated full cab, load weight and lift height readouts, and one-touch fork levelling.

Pick the battery to match your shifts
Same truck, different battery sizes, so you only pay for the capacity you'll use.
Single shifts, with top-up charging in breaks.
Long or double shifts on a busy site.
The largest option, for trucks that rarely stop.

Service and repairsQuestions about the EFL30-PRO
Anything else, call us on 01 5267 411 (ROI) or 028 3833 7038 (NI).
Can the EFL30-PRO work outside?
Yes. The 3 t Pro copes with wet, rough yards on air-filled tyres, with 165 mm under the chassis and IPX4 protection against splashing. It climbs 22% with a load, and a heated full cab can be specified for winter.
How is it different from the EFL303P?
Both lift 3 t at 19 km/h laden. The EFL30-PRO has pneumatic tyres, IPX4, a stronger 30 kW lift motor, a modular battery up to 628Ah, armrest controls and telematics as standard. The EFL303P uses solid tyres and a 460Ah battery.
Which battery size do I need?
Choose 280Ah, 560Ah or 628Ah on the 80V system. Most single shifts are fine on 280Ah with top-ups in breaks. Tell us your shift pattern and we'll recommend a size.
What happens if part of the battery fails?
The pack is three separate modules, so a faulty one can be repaired or swapped on its own. That avoids replacing the whole battery.
Can it replace my diesel forklift?
That's what it's designed for. It matches a 3 t diesel for speed, climbing and pulling, works outside, and has no fuel or exhaust. Send us your loads, heights and ground conditions and we'll confirm.
Can I hire the EFL30-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 EFL30-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 EFL30-PRO?
Our own engineers, from our Navan depot and Portadown office, using EP parts. We look after customers across Ireland and Northern Ireland.
