About the MAX-8 IC
The MAX-8 Series is EP Equipment’s classic line of 1.5–3.5T internal combustion forklifts, combining strength, comfort, and durability for everyday material handling needs. Featuring high-torque engines (up to 45 kW output) and a reinforced powershift transmission, the MAX-8 series delivers steady, dependable acceleration and handling even under full load.
Engineered with wide-view masts (2.5–6.0 m) and optimized hydraulic systems, operators benefit from smooth lifting precision, reduced vibration, and responsive control. The trucks maintain gradeability up to 20% and travel speeds of up to 20 km/h, supporting consistent productivity in everyday operations.
Operator comfort is central to the MAX-8’s design — the spacious cockpit, suspension seat, low-vibration steering system, and clear instrument display help reduce fatigue over long shifts. Safety is supported through OPS (Operator Presence System), LED front lighting, and optional full steel cabins for all-weather operations.
