Who the RPL301 suits, and when to pick another model
Built for
- Pallets up to 3 t moved over long distances
- Busy logistics hubs and distribution centres
- Multi-shift work with opportunity charging
- Tight areas, using creep speed and proportional steering
- Sites replacing a heavy walk-behind truck
Look at another EP model if
- You want a lower-cost 3 t ride-onRPL301E3 t, 150Ah, shorter body
- Your loads stay under 2.5 tRPL251same frame, 1.6 kW drive
- You need more speed at 2 tRPL20-PRO2 t, 9.5 km/h laden

What makes the RPL301 work
The RPL301 is built for loads that would overwhelm a 2 tonne truck. Here's how it handles them.
Rated for 3,000 kg
A reinforced chassis and larger counterweight let it carry 3 tonnes. That's 1 tonne more than a standard 2 t ride-on.
2.5 kW drive
A 2.5 kW AC drive motor moves the extra weight. It travels at 5.5 km/h laden and 6 km/h empty.
Safety systems
Stabilising wheels, anti-rollback braking and automatic slowing in corners come as standard. They matter more with 3 tonnes on the forks.
Operator comfort
A suspended platform and protective side arms make long runs easier. Proportional steering and creep speed help with precise placing.
Lithium-ion
A 24V 205Ah lithium-ion battery supports opportunity charging. No watering or battery changes.
Compact for a 3 tonner
It's 1,954 mm long and turns in 1,790 mm, the same as the 2.5 t RPL251.

Anything else, call us on 01 5267 411 (ROI) or 028 3833 7038 (NI).
How is the RPL301 different from the RPL251?
It carries 3,000 kg against 2,500 kg and has a 2.5 kW drive against 1.6 kW. Size, speed and turning radius are the same. See the RPL251.
How is it different from the RPL301E?
The RPL301 has a larger 205Ah battery against 150Ah. The RPL301E is the budget-friendly version, with a shorter body (1,866 mm) and a 1,724 mm turning radius.
How much aisle space does it need?
EP gives 2,590 mm for 1000 x 1200 pallets crossways and 2,447 mm for 800 x 1200 pallets lengthways.
Can it climb ramps with 3 tonnes?
EP rates it at 6% with a load and 16% empty, and anti-rollback braking holds it on slopes.
What battery does it use?
A 24V 205Ah lithium-ion battery that suits top-ups in breaks. Tell us your shift pattern and we'll confirm it's right for you.
Can I hire the RPL301?
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 RPL301 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 RPL301?
