With Innovation and Ease-of-Use in Mind, These Forklifts Can Upgrade Operations for Success
Fort Worth, TX – September 10, 2024 – EP North America, a fast-growing material handling solutions provider focused on electrification, today debuted two new integrated lithium-ion forklifts that help customers “make the switch” to electric from their traditional diesel and LPG equipment. The pneumatic CPD45F8/50F8 and EFLA251 are all available via EP North America’s dealer network.
“EP North America continues to expand its portfolio to solve a wider range of material handling applications, leveraging our unparalleled strength in lithium-powered solutions,” said Jason Bratton, general manager, EP North America. “Whether leading occasional or multi-shift operations, these lithium-ion powered solutions provide exceptional value, quality and dependability that we believe our dealer network and their customers have been looking for.”
The CPD45F8/50F8 is an IPX4 Rated, pneumatic forklift designed for outdoor use to suit applications up to 10,000 lbs. The CPD45F8/50F8 utilizes an integrated EP Energy 80V lithium-ion battery, requiring zero maintenance and eliminating ongoing fuel costs associated with diesel/LPG units. By removing the internal combustion engine, it reduces fatigue by eliminating vibration, heat, noise and exhaust, which creates a more comfortable and productive work environment.
The EFLA251 has been engineered to provide a direct alternative to the internal combustion engine powered, ITA Class IV Cushion Tire forklift. Featuring a lift capacity of 5000 lbs., the EP Energy 80V Lithium-ion powered truck features onboard charging as standard equipment and is capable of fully charging in just over 2 hours.
EP controls cost and supply through a vertical integration strategy that ensures readily available stock and consistently short lead times on factory orders. EP has loaded dedicated demo units to its fleet to make available through the remainder of 2024, supporting its efforts in driving the electrification trend.
