FAQ

What is a stand-up rider forklift?
It is a compact counterbalanced electric forklift driven from a standing position. Without outriggers it can drive straight into trailers and over dock plates, while the stand-up layout lets the operator step on and off quickly.

What aisle width does it need?
EKKO lists a 10.5 ft right-angle stacking aisle for this series.

Is it for indoor use?
Yes. It is electric with no exhaust and runs quietly (70 dB(A) or less), so it suits enclosed warehouses and docks on smooth floors.

Are the battery and charger included?
Yes. The 48V/420Ah battery and a 480V 3-phase charger come standard. 220V 3-phase or 110V single-phase chargers are available at extra cost.

How is it delivered?
Units ship by freight truck from EKKO. Inspect the truck on arrival and note any damage on the delivery receipt with photos before signing.
