5 to 7.5 tonnes
Three trucks that replace a mid-size diesel in yards, merchants and factories. All three are lithium, and you can top them up in breaks.

16 to 25 tonnes, high voltage
EP's Pro HV trucks run on high-voltage lithium, with a 90 kW drive motor on the 16 and 18 tonne models and 135 kW on the 25 tonne. The number at the end of each model name tells you the load centre and the forks it comes with.

Long loads change the maths
A forklift's capacity is rated with the load's centre a set distance out from the forks: 500 or 600 mm on most trucks, up to 1,200 mm on EP's long-fork heavy models. Steel, pipe and timber packs sit further out. Set your load and see which trucks are rated for it.
900 mm
The bar is the load centre each truck is rated at, and the dark mark is your load's centre: half the load's depth, for an even load. Capacity drops when the load centre is further out than the rating, and as the mast goes up, so we check your loads on EP's load charts during the site survey.
How a heavy truck gets to your site
A truck this size is specified around your loads and your site, so we start there.

What is a load centre?
It's the distance from the face of the forks to the centre of the load. A forklift's rated capacity applies at that distance. If your load's centre sits further out, for long steel, pipe or timber, the truck can lift less, so long loads need a truck rated at a longer load centre.
What do -6, -9 and -12 mean on the HV models?
They give the load centre the truck is rated at and the forks it comes with: -6 is 600 mm with 1.2 m forks, -9 is 900 mm with 1.8 m forks, and -12 is 1,200 mm with 2.4 m forks.
What is a high-voltage forklift?
An electric forklift whose battery and motors run at a much higher voltage than a standard truck. EP's 16 to 25 tonne Pro HV models run at over 600V, against 80V on a typical 3 tonne truck, which gives the power to lift 16 to 25 tonnes all day.
Can an electric forklift replace a large diesel truck?
For most heavy-duty work, yes. EP's heavy-duty trucks are built for steel, timber, concrete, stone and container handling. We'll check your loads, attachments, ground and shift pattern on a site survey before recommending a model.
What charging do I need?
Bigger trucks need a suitable power supply for their chargers. We'll check your site's supply on the survey and tell you what's needed before you order, so there are no surprises.
Do you have models between 7.5 and 16 tonnes?
Not on our site at the moment. Tell us what you need to lift: EP builds a wide range and we can look at the right truck for you.
Can I hire a heavy-duty forklift?
Yes, on contract hire, at a weekly price on a 12-month contract, with servicing, repairs and GA1 or LOLER inspections included. We don't do short-term hire.
