About the EFX3-251
The EFL X3 Series elevates EP’s electric forklift lineup with improved durability, efficiency, and user-centric design. Integrating Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) technology, it achieves up to 10% more energy savings and longer uptime than conventional AC motors. The system ensures powerful acceleration, responsive lifting, and reduced operational costs over the vehicle’s lifetime.
The removable Li-ion battery (80V/150Ah standard, 80V/280Ah optional) allows for quick side extraction and convenient replacement, making it ideal for multi-shift operations and facilities without dedicated charging stations. With a single-phase 16A onboard charger, it can recharge anywhere, anytime.
Operator comfort is maximized with an ergonomic workspace, including an adjustable steering wheel, spacious cabin layout, and simplified control panel for fatigue-free operation. Designed to perform indoors and outdoors, the EFL X3 provides stable, emission-free operation with the durability and power expected from IC forklifts — all while maintaining low total cost of ownership.
