The EFL403 is a 4.0-ton high-capacity electric forklift designed for demanding operations that need strength, endurance, and zero emissions. Powered by a 96 V / 560 Ah Li-ion battery, it delivers consistent high torque, superior stability, and long runtime for heavy-duty indoor and outdoor use.
Provides powerful, consistent energy delivery equivalent to IC engine performance — with zero emissions, fast charging, and long service life.
High-Capacity 96V Li-ion Battery (560 Ah)
A reinforced frame and wide-stance counterweight ensure outstanding stability and safety during heavy lifting operations.
Rugged and Durable Chassis
The high-capacity trucks utilize three distinct cooling systems to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Specifically, two water cooling systems are employed for the motor and the battery, while an oil cooling system is dedicated to the hydraulics system.
The water cooling systems provide superior cooling performance, preventing the truck from overheating even under the most demanding conditions or in the heat of summer. Water's higher heat transfer capacity compared to air allows it to dissipate heat more efficiently from critical components like the motor and battery. This efficient heat dissipation helps maintain the battery temperature around 30~35℃, protecting these vital components from overheating and potential damage or failure. Consequently, this enhances the overall reliability and longevity of the high-capacity trucks.
Additionally, water cooling systems typically operate with less noise compared to air cooling systems that rely on high-speed fans. This noise reduction is particularly beneficial in applications where a quieter operation is desirable, such as in urban areas or indoor facilities.
The oil cooling system, on the other hand, is used for the hydraulics system. This system ensures that the hydraulic components remain within optimal temperature ranges, thereby maintaining their efficiency and preventing overheating. By effectively managing the temperature of the hydraulics system, the oil cooling system contributes to the smooth and reliable operation of the truck's hydraulic functions.
Smart and reliable strategy for thermal management
As fully electric trucks powered by lithium-ion batteries, these forklifts produce zero emissions during operation, eliminating exposure to toxic fumes like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. Unlike lead-acid batteries which can leak corrosive acid, lithium-ion batteries do not risk hazardous spills.
Sustainability : Zero emissions for cleaner environment
Application
Perfect for manufacturing, building materials, logistics hubs, and metal processing industries, the EFL403 provides exceptional performance and durability in intensive applications. Its large chassis, high ground clearance, and robust mast design make it suitable for uneven surfaces and demanding loading tasks, replacing traditional IC forklifts with a cleaner, more efficient solution.
