excl. GST
The EFL252X3 combines high performance and operator comfort in a compact, all-terrain design. Powered by an 80V/150Ah Li-ion battery with optional capacity up to 280Ah, it supports opportunity charging and multi-shift use. Featuring PMSM motor technology and hydraulic steering, the X3 Series ensures excellent efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and extended uptime — ideal for diverse warehouse and outdoor logistics operations.
Overview
The EFL X3 Series elevates EP’s electric forklift lineup with improved durability, efficiency, and user-centric design. Integrating Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) technology, it achieves up to 10% more energy savings and longer uptime than conventional AC motors. The system ensures powerful acceleration, responsive lifting, and reduced operational costs over the vehicle’s lifetime.
The removable Li-ion battery (80V/150Ah standard, 80V/280Ah optional) allows for quick side extraction and convenient replacement, making it ideal for multi-shift operations and facilities without dedicated charging stations. With a single-phase 16A onboard charger, it can recharge anywhere, anytime.
Operator comfort is maximized with an ergonomic workspace, including an adjustable steering wheel, spacious cabin layout, and simplified control panel for fatigue-free operation. Designed to perform indoors and outdoors, the EFL X3 provides stable, emission-free operation with the durability and power expected from IC forklifts — all while maintaining low total cost of ownership.
Highlights
PMSM motor for higher efficiency and performance
The EFL X3 Series adopts advanced Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) technology, improving power output and extending battery life by up to 10%. The high-efficiency drive delivers smoother acceleration and superior energy management across demanding tasks.
Removable Li-ion battery for flexible operation
Equipped with an 80V/150Ah removable Li-ion battery (optional 280Ah), the truck allows fast side-pull replacement, ideal for continuous operations or areas lacking fixed charging points. Maintenance-free design and opportunity charging ensure maximum uptime and reliability.
Versatile for indoor and outdoor use
Thanks to its solid tires, water-protected chassis, and high ground clearance, the EFL X3 easily handles uneven outdoor terrain while maintaining excellent control indoors. Its 2250 mm turning radius ensures agile maneuvering in compact spaces.
Ergonomic and operator-friendly design
The operator zone includes a simplified dashboard, adjustable steering wheel, and comfortable seating, designed for all-day productivity. Optimized visibility and intuitive controls support precise load handling, reducing fatigue and enhancing safety.
Applications
The EFL X3 Series is designed for small and medium logistics centers, manufacturing facilities, and rental operations that require a durable electric forklift capable of replacing diesel models. Its solid tires, high ground clearance, and IP-protected structure make it suitable for outdoor conditions, while its tight turning radius (2250 mm) and compact chassis provide exceptional maneuverability in narrow aisles. This all-round versatility makes it a reliable partner for warehouses, loading bays, and production environments.
