Built on EP’s proven 96V Li-ion platform, the EFL803/1003 Series combines exceptional lifting strength with the advantages of electric operation. With load capacities from 8 to 10 tons, it achieves lifting speeds up to 0.40 m/s and travel speeds up to 15 km/h, all powered by a 96V/920Ah Li-ion battery. Its compact chassis and precise hydraulic system make it ideal for both indoor and outdoor heavy-duty logistics.
The 96V/920Ah Li-ion battery ensures consistent, long-lasting power output, supporting demanding multi-shift operations with opportunity charging. Integrated heating during charging guarantees stable performance even in colder climates.
Powerful 96V Li-ion energy system
Equipped with a 35 kW drive motor and twin 30 kW lift motors, the EFL803/1003 delivers strong acceleration, smooth lifting, and rapid response while maintaining low energy consumption through PMSM technology
Dual-motor drive for high efficiency
Designed for maximum durability, the heavy-duty frame and wide wheelbase provide outstanding stability for 8–10 ton loads. Hydraulic mast buffering ensures smooth lifting and lowering, while multiple mast options support lift heights up to 7 meters
Robust chassis and superior hydraulics
Operators benefit from a spacious cabin with suspension seat, OPS safety system, and intuitive controls. Options such as fingertip control, camera systems, and air-conditioned full cabins offer tailored comfort and operational precision for all applications.
Ergonomic and configurable operator environment
Application
The EFL803/1003 Series is tailored for industries that demand consistent strength, stability, and durability. From ports and steel plants to construction materials, heavy manufacturing, and logistics terminals, it handles bulky loads with ease. Thanks to pneumatic tires, wide wheelbase, and high ground clearance, it ensures reliable traction and comfort on uneven surfaces. Optional configurations — including sideshift fork positioners, full cabins, and telematics — make it adaptable for various operational environments.
