The EFL 2 Series combines EP’s advanced LFP Li-ion battery technology with a robust chassis and large pneumatic tires, delivering reliable outdoor performance and energy efficiency. Available in multiple capacities up to 2.5 tons, it offers smooth operation, zero maintenance, and IPX4-rated water resistance, making it the perfect all-weather alternative to diesel forklifts.
The EFL 2 Series features EP’s 80V LFP Li-ion battery, providing safe, maintenance-free operation with long service life. Opportunity charging enables 24/7 uptime without battery replacement or water refilling.
Powerful and efficient Li-ion system
Thanks to its strong drive motor and hydraulic system, the EFL 2 Series delivers power comparable to diesel forklifts, while reducing energy consumption and noise levels for more comfortable operation.
IC-like performance, electric efficiency
Built with IPX4 water-resistant protection, large pneumatic tires, and a robust steel frame, the EFL 2 Series can operate reliably outdoors, on wet surfaces, and in light industrial yards.
Outdoor-ready and durable
Integrated telematics provide real-time fleet insights — including truck status, battery analytics, and usage reports — helping operators improve productivity and extend equipment lifespan.
Smart management with telematics
Application
Designed for both indoor warehouses and outdoor yards, the EFL 2 Series excels in logistics centers, production facilities, construction sites, and retail distribution. Its durable structure and powerful traction allow operation on uneven ground, while the compact turning radius and low overall length ensure high maneuverability in tight aisles. The integrated Li-ion battery enables opportunity charging at any time, providing flexible, continuous operation with no battery swaps or downtime.
