EP Equipment 5500kg High-Voltage Lithium Forklift Truck – EFL553-HV-6

By combining unmatched power with Li-ion innovation, EP Equipment is set to transform heavy-duty handling with its High-Voltage range. The company introduces the EFL553-HV-6 — a 5.5-tonne high-voltage forklift that features advanced permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) technology. This delivers outstanding performance, long runtimes, and safety — all while remaining eco-friendly and free from harmful emissions.

EP Equipment pairs cutting-edge technology with superior performance — the EFL553-HV-6 improves output by 1.5 to 2 times over its low-voltage counterpart. Its Li-ion battery, boasting high energy density, stores significantly more electrical energy in a compact cell. High-voltage systems consume less energy yet still deliver extended runtimes — ideal for those long workdays. With an impressive cycle life of up to 4,000 cycles, these batteries provide long-lasting durability without the need for frequent replacements.

The EFL553-HV-6HV also supports fast charging for quick turnarounds and minimal downtime. These models work seamlessly with vehicle-grade charging stations and support a 1C charging rate — allowing for a full charge in as little as one hour. And, as with any lithium battery, charging costs are significantly lower than fuel expenses — cutting your total cost of ownership substantially.

EP Equipment equips this 5.5-tonne forklift with multiple protective features to ensure team safety during operation. These include overcharge protection, over-temperature monitoring, short-circuit protection, and more — guaranteeing safe, comfortable use without compromising on power.
