Highlights from HIRE24, at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre last week!<\/p>\n
The focus of the crowd? Of course, the EFL3-Series! Its efficiency and reliability captivated everyone\u2019s attention. Many visitors were surprised by the annual cost saving of AU$8,000 when switching from an LPG forklift to the EFL3-Series! Let alone the order picker JX0, the scissor reach truck CQE15S and the pallet truck for all road EPT20-15ET2H … EP\u2019s lithium-powered trucks and application-oriented solutions for the rental market shone on the site.<\/p>\n
It was really a pleasure to meet with old partners and new faces, forging strong relationships and exploring potential collaborations. We engaged in meaningful conversations about the future of the material handling equipment rental market and how our solutions can meet evolving industry needs.<\/p>\n
While HIRE24 has concluded, EP journey in Australia is continuing… Stay tuned for more updates and local events!<\/p>\n

EP\u2019s High Capacity trucks ignite our commitment to green material handling again! Here at EP we offer a full range from 4 tons to 25 tonnes combining the high voltage lithium-ion technology and PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motor) technology.

As well as planting saplings, cleaning up rivers and oceans, and reducing plastic, it\u2019s also a long-term goal to build an environmentally friendly and green material handling future. It\u2019s time to join EP and enter the new high-capacity forklift arena with high-voltage batteries and PMSM motors.
