One of Europe’s biggest forklift manufacturers has just put its money behind the brand that powers every machine Clearlift Material Handling sells.
Jungheinrich AG has acquired a 4.9% strategic stake in Zhejiang EP Equipment Co., Ltd. It is a significant move — and if you run EP equipment forklifts or are considering it, here is why it matters.
A Major Vote of Confidence
Jungheinrich has over 70 years in the material handling industry. They do not invest casually. Taking a stake in EP Equipment means they have examined the technology, the product range, and the business model in detail — and they back it.
EP Equipment grew revenue by 10.7% in 2025 to RMB 7.25 billion. The company has built a global reputation on lithium-ion expertise, fast product development, and manufacturing quality that established brands are now actively choosing to align with.
What the Partnership Delivers
The investment is not just financial. Both companies bring something to the table.
EP gains access to Jungheinrich’s engineering rigour, testing processes, and certification standards — meaning the quality built into every EP machine will continue to improve. Jungheinrich gains EP’s lithium-ion expertise and development speed.
For customers, this means the machines you invest in today are backed by a manufacturer that is getting stronger, not standing still.
What It Means for Clearlift Customers
As Ireland’s only authorised EP Equipment dealer, Clearlift gives businesses across all 32 counties direct access to a range that one of Europe’s most respected manufacturers has just publicly endorsed.
Whether you are running a single pallet truck or managing a mixed fleet across multiple sites, the case for EP lithium equipment has never been stronger — and the confidence behind the brand has never been higher.
