What makes the ES16-RSI work
The ES16-RSi builds on the ES16-RS with initial lift, a larger standard battery and a stronger drive motor.
Initial lift
Initial lift raises the support arms 120 mm on their own, separate from the mast. That helps on docks, ramps and uneven floors, and lets you carry two pallets at once.
Two capacity ratings
It lifts 1,600 kg on the mast and carries up to 2,000 kg on the support arms. Proportional lifting is available for careful placement.
Stronger drive
A 2.5 kW AC drive motor, against 1.6 kW on the ES16-RS, moves the longer truck and two pallets with ease. It is rated for 8% gradients laden.
Ride or walk
A foldable, vibration-reducing platform with protection arms lets operators ride, then fold it up to walk in tight spots. Electric power steering keeps it light.
Safety systems
Automatic speed reduction, an anti-rollback brake, emergency reverse and disconnect buttons, and dual hydraulic monitoring come as standard. Operators get clear protection whether walking or riding.
Bigger standard battery
A 24V 280Ah lead-acid battery is fitted as standard, with a 205Ah lithium-ion option. Our engineers support it.
Pick the battery to match your shifts
Same truck, different battery sizes, so you only pay for the capacity you'll use.
Fitted as standard. Plenty of capacity for a full shift with a charge overnight.
No watering or battery changes, and you can top up in breaks.
Not sure which size? Tell us your shift pattern and we'll recommend one.

How is the ES16-RSi different from the ES16-RS?
It adds initial lift and a 2,000 kg support-arm rating, a 280Ah battery instead of 210Ah, and a 2.5 kW drive motor instead of 1.6 kW. It's longer, at 2,195 mm against 2,035 mm, so the ES16-RS suits you if you never double-deck.
How much can it carry?
1,600 kg when lifting on the mast and up to 2,000 kg on the support arms with initial lift.
Which battery should I choose?
The standard 24V 280Ah lead-acid battery suits most single shifts. If you'd rather avoid watering and top up in breaks, choose the 205Ah lithium-ion option.
How high can it lift?
The standard mast lifts to 3.0 m. Other mast heights are available on request, with proportional lifting and lowering.
How much space does it need to turn?
It turns in 1,765 mm and is 850 mm wide. EP's rated aisle widths start at 2,597 mm for 800 x 1200 Euro pallets lengthways.
Should I consider a lithium model instead?
If you want faster travel and lithium as standard, the RSL16i-PRO also has initial lift and rides at 9 km/h laden against 5.5 km/h.
Can I hire the ES16-RSI?
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 ES16-RSI 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 ES16-RSI?
