The EPL185 combines stability, strength, and compactness in one design. With a load capacity of 1.8 tons, floating stabilizing wheels, and a 48V/20Ah removable Li-ion battery, it ensures safe and agile operation. Its integrated charger and optional fast charging provide maximum flexibility, while the plug-in/out battery design with protective metal cover improves safety and reliability.
Industrial floating stabilizing wheels come as standard, providing excellent stability and smooth load transport, even on slightly uneven floors.
Stable and safe handling
Equipped with a 48V/20Ah removable Li-ion battery with BMS and CAN technology, the EPL185 offers safety, reliability, and the flexibility of optional 30Ah capacity.
Advanced battery system
The brushless DC motor eliminates the need for carbon brush replacement, improving efficiency and reducing maintenance while ensuring stronger driving power.
Brushless drive technology
With only 400 mm fork face length and 170 kg service weight, the EPL185 is compact enough for tight aisles but strong enough to handle loads up to 1.8 tons.
Compact & maneuverable
Application
Ideal for warehouses, retail, and logistics environments, the EPL185 is designed for operations requiring both high load capacity and maneuverability. Its compact chassis (400 mm fork face length) makes it suitable for confined spaces, while the stabilizing wheels ensure balance even on uneven surfaces. Thanks to optional fork dimensions, larger battery capacities, and additional attachments, it adapts to diverse customer requirements.
