Who the EFL303S suits, and when to pick another model
Built for
- Busy logistics, production and distribution sites
- Long travel distances where speed saves time
- Ramps and inclines, with 20% gradeability laden
- Yards and uneven ground, on solid tyres
- Replacing a hard-working 3 t diesel
Look at another EP model if
- Your work is steadier and lighterEFL3033 t, 80V 205Ah, 11 km/h laden
- You need a bigger battery and top speedEFL303P80V 460Ah, 19 km/h laden
- You prefer air-filled tyresEFL302X53 t, pneumatic, 280 or 560Ah
- Your loads reach 3.5 tEFL353S3.5 t version of the S

What makes the EFL303S work
The S in EFL303S means more power. It keeps the EFL303's frame and size but adds stronger motors and a larger battery.
More power than the EFL303
A 17 kW drive motor and 26 kW lift motor replace the 10 kW and 16 kW units of the standard EFL303. Travel rises to 16 km/h laden and lift speed to 0.4 m/s laden.
Better on slopes
The S drive takes the EFL303S up a 20% slope with a full load, 25% empty. The standard EFL303 manages 15%, so if your yard has a ramp or a steep dock plate, this is the 3 tonne truck to look at.
Larger 230Ah battery
The 80V lithium-ion battery steps up to 230Ah. It needs no watering, and you can top it up in breaks to keep going through the shift.
Joystick controls available
The S can be ordered with hydraulic fingertip controls on the armrest instead of levers. Forks, the fourth function, direction, horn and emergency stop all sit under the operator's fingers.
Built on an engine-truck chassis
It uses the frame of EP's T8 internal combustion range with a slimmer counterweight. Large solid tyres and 185 mm of clearance under the wheelbase handle rough yards.
All-weather options
A glass-roofed overhead guard is standard. A windscreen, semi-cab, full cab, heater and A/C can be added for winter work outside.

Anything else, call us on 01 5267 411 (ROI) or 028 3833 7038 (NI).
How is the EFL303S different from the EFL303?
Same chassis and 3 t capacity, but stronger motors (17 kW drive, 26 kW lift), a 230Ah battery instead of 205Ah, 16 km/h laden instead of 11, and 20% gradeability laden instead of 15%.
How does it compare to the EFL303P?
The P has a much larger 460Ah battery and goes faster, at 19 km/h laden with 22% gradeability. The S suits busy single shifts, the P long or multiple shifts.
Can the EFL303S work outside?
Yes. Large solid tyres, 185 mm of ground clearance and a rain-proofed charging port suit yard work. Cab, heater and A/C options make it usable year-round.
Can I get joystick controls?
Yes. The S and P versions can be fitted with hydraulic fingertip controls on the armrest in place of mechanical levers, which reduces strain over a long shift.
Can it replace my diesel forklift?
For a 3 t diesel that works hard, it's a strong match, with 16 km/h laden and good gradeability. Send us your loads, distances and ground conditions and we'll confirm.
Can I hire the EFL303S?
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 EFL303S 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 EFL303S?
