- Loads up to 1.5 t on smooth indoor floors
- Tight spaces where a short, light truck is easier to handle
- Replacing a hand pallet truck on longer or more frequent runs

What makes the F4 work
The F4 is EP's most basic powered pallet truck. It keeps things simple and light, and lets you match the forks and batteries to your work.
Plug-in lithium batteries
The F4 runs on 24V 20Ah lithium-ion packs that weigh around 5 kg each. Two fit as standard and you can specify up to four. Swap a flat pack for a charged one and keep going, with no watering or battery maintenance.
Light and easy to steer
At 120 kg the F4 is easy to push into position and simple to move around site. With only 400 mm from the drive end to the fork face and a 1,360 mm turning radius, it fits into tight back rooms and short aisles.
Three fork sizes, all in stock
Choose 560 x 1150 mm forks for Euro pallets, 560 x 1000 mm for Euro and CHEP pallets, or 685 x 1000 mm for CHEP and bottom-boarded pallets. We hold all three sizes in stock.
Optional stabilising wheels
Stabilising wheels can be fitted at the factory or added later. They help keep large or heavy pallets steady and give more confidence on floors that are not perfectly flat.
Steady walking pace
The F4 travels at 4 km/h laden and 4.5 km/h empty, a comfortable pace for a walking operator. An electromagnetic brake stops it when you let go, and it will take a 6% slope with a load.
Low running costs
Polyurethane tyres, a simple mechanical steering design and lithium batteries keep upkeep to a minimum. Our engineers look after it when it does need attention.
Pick the battery to match your shifts
Same truck, different battery sizes, so you only pay for the capacity you'll use.
A single pack for occasional moves and light retail work.
Two packs for regular daily use, with room to swap one out while the other charges.
Extra packs for busy sites, so there is always a charged battery to swap in.
Not sure which size? Tell us your shift pattern and we'll recommend one.

Buy it, or add it to a hire fleet
Buy it new
Own it outright. We supply it from stock or order it new from EP, and deliver it on our own trailer.
See what is in stockHire it as part of a fleet
We hire the F4 only as part of a fleet. Add it to a contract with forklifts or other trucks, at a weekly price on a 12-month contract, with servicing included.
How contract hire worksService and parts
Our own engineers service it, and we hold EP parts in stock. For parts, email parts@clearlift.eu.
Service and repairsQuestions about the F4
Anything else, call us on 01 5267 411 (ROI) or 028 3833 7038 (NI).
Which F4 fork size should I choose?
Pick 560 x 1150 mm for Euro pallets, 560 x 1000 mm if you handle both Euro and CHEP pallets, or 685 x 1000 mm for CHEP and bottom-boarded pallets. The 685 mm forks won't take Euro pallets both ways. All three sizes are in stock, and current F4 offers are on our F4 offer page.
How many batteries does the F4 need?
Two 24V 20Ah packs are standard and suit most daily use. A single pack is enough for occasional moves, and up to four can be specified for full-shift work, so a charged pack is always ready to swap in.
How is the F4 different from the F4-201?
The F4-201 lifts 2,000 kg instead of 1,500 kg, runs on a 48V system with a brushless drive, and climbs an 8% slope laden against 6% for the F4. It weighs 140 kg against the F4's 120 kg.
Can the F4 work on uneven floors?
On reasonably flat floors, yes. Optional stabilising wheels help with heavy or uneven loads. If your floors are patchy, the EPL154 has floating stabilising wheels as standard.
Can the F4 handle ramps?
EP rates it at 6% with a load and 16% empty, so gentle ramps are fine. For steeper dock ramps, a heavy-duty truck such as the WPL202 manages 10% laden.
When should I look at something bigger than the F4?
If your pallets go over 1.5 t, the truck runs most of the day, or the runs are long, a heavy-duty walk-behind or a ride-on pallet truck will suit better. See the full warehouse range.
Can I hire the F4?
Only as part of a fleet. If you hire forklifts or other trucks from us, we can add it to the same contract, at a weekly price with servicing and repairs included. On its own, it's to buy. We don't offer short-term hire. See forklift hire.
How much does the F4 cost?
It depends on the mast, battery and options you need. Ask for a price and we'll quote it to buy.
Who services the F4?
Our own engineers, from our Navan depot and Portadown office, using EP parts. We look after customers across Ireland and Northern Ireland.
