EP EFL253S Li-ion Counterbalance Forklift 2.5T

Explore the EFL253SThe EFL253S enhances the base EFL253 with greater drive power, improved gradeability, and faster lifting performance. With a 17 kW drive motor and 80V/230Ah battery, it’s the perfect mid-tier solution for higher-intensity material handling tasks. The EFL253S is part of the EFL 3 Series, which represents the next step in EP’s evolution of Li-ion forklifts, featuring 80V high-capacity batteries (up to 560Ah), powerful dual motors, and IC-style chassis for unmatched durability. With travel speeds up to 20 km/h, lifting speeds of 0.54 m/s, and gradeability up to 28%, the EFL253S delivers consistent power and efficiency for both indoor and outdoor applications. Equipped with a 17 kW motor and 26 kW lift power, the EFL253S offers faster acceleration and handling for demanding shifts. With up to 25% gradeability, it maintains reliable traction on ramps and uneven surfaces. And the maximum lifting speed of 0.5 m/s ensures higher throughput in high-turnover applications. Upgraded drive and lift performance Both practicality and beauty are reflected in the design of the new EFL253S. It inherits the robust chassis of an IC truck series and features a more streamlined and compact counterweight, to better fit in confined space. Plus, the rain-proofed charging port protects the port from water splash and ensures charging safety. The truck structure integrates aesthetics and practical design The lithium technology has proven itself as an emission-free and maintenance-free alternative to diesel. The EFL253S handles loads with consistently high performance due to opportunity charging even for the most demanding applications. The 80V/230Ah Li-ion battery supports opportunity charging, allowing continuous operation without battery replacement. Lithium technology to replace internal combustion engine The EFL253S is equipped with a variety of functional configurations, such as OPS system, Telematics and card system, which not only takes security as priority but als Multi-functions for safe operation and easy fleet management The workspace of the EFL253S is more spacious with a simplified panel and a comfortable pedal. The series features a new LED display that clearly shows speed, working hours, battery status ,milage and parking status so the operator can easily grapse the truck conditions just with a glanc Ergonomic improvements for comfortable operation The EFL253S can be equipped with hydraulic joystick controls instead of mechanical levers. Positioned at the end of the armrest operations can be done just with fingers, increasing the operator ergonomics through the following controls: all fork hydraulic control including the 4th way, driving direction (F-N-B), horn, emergency stop button. Joystick option available for fatigue-free work The bolted overhead guard is fitted as standard with a new closed roof made of tempered glass and flat high-strength steel bars, offering the highest visibility in the category. It enables safe load handling at all heights and increases productivity by increasing the number of pallet movements. Outdoor performance can be enhanced with cabin options such as front windshield, semi-cab, full cabin, heater and A/C. For added flexibility, the front windshield and semi cabin can be offered in a retrofit kit for easy installation by dealers. Outdoor behavior with high-visibility closed roof and cabin options ApplicationThe EFL253S is engineered for intensive logistics, production, and material handling environments. Ideal for warehouses, manufacturing plants, and distribution centers, it performs reliably on uneven outdoor terrain thanks to its large solid rubber tires and high ground clearance. Optional cabins, heating systems, and a fully enclosed design extend its usability to all-weather operations, ensuring year-round productivity across multiple industries.
