About the EFL803-9
EP’s EFL803/1003 Series redefines heavy material handling with a powerful 96V/920Ah Li-ion battery that offers long runtime, rapid charging, and maintenance-free performance. Equipped with a 35 kW drive motor and dual 30 kW lift motors, the truck achieves exceptional acceleration and load-handling capacity while maintaining low energy consumption.
The integrated PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) system ensures smooth torque delivery and optimized energy efficiency. The ergonomic operator cabin features a suspension seat with OPS, clear visibility, and multiple control options, including mechanical levers or fingertip controls.
Safety and comfort are enhanced with LED lighting packages, reversing buzzer, back handle with horn, and optional full cabins with air conditioning and defogging systems. With options for customized forks, fork carriages, and camera systems, the EFL803/1003 provides a professional-grade solution for high-demand logistics while eliminating emissions and reducing total cost of ownership.
FAQs
Can the EFL803/1003HV operate in harsh or outdoor environments?
Yes. The series is IPX4-rated overall and IP67-rated for high-voltage components, making it resistant to water, dust, and humidity. With dual front wheels, 180 mm ground clearance, and integrated heating for cold climates, it performs reliably in ports, construction sites, and outdoor yards
How does the cooling system ensure consistent performance?
The EFL803/1003HV features a triple cooling system: dual water cooling for both the motor and battery, and oil cooling for hydraulic circuits. This intelligent setup maintains optimal operating temperatures between 30–35°C, even during continuous heavy-duty operations.
Can the EFL803/1003HV operate in harsh or outdoor environments?
Yes. The series is IPX4-rated overall and IP67-rated for high-voltage components, making it resistant to water, dust, and humidity. With dual front wheels, 180 mm ground clearance, and integrated heating for cold climates, it performs reliably in ports, construction sites, and outdoor yards.
What features enhance operator comfort and visibility?
Designed for long shifts, the cabin includes an ergonomic suspension seat with headrest, fingertip hydraulic controls, and optional air-conditioned enclosure. The wide-view mast, LED lighting package, and low noise levels ensure excellent comfort and operational visibility
