EP Forklifts Australia

Zero emissions, lower operating costs, fast charging, and the durability of EP’s maintenance-free LiFePO₄ batteries.

Typically 3,000+ full charge cycles (often many years of real-world use) with very slow capacity fade. EP’s high-quality battery packs maintain their performance far longer than conventional lead-acid batteries.

Most EP forklift batteries charge fully in about 2–3 hours. The trucks also support opportunity charging, so you can “top up” the battery during breaks without harming its lifespan, ensuring continuous operation through multiple shifts.

Very safe – EP uses LiFePO₄ cells, which are inherently stable and non-combustible. Each battery pack includes an advanced battery management system that continuously monitors voltage, current and temperature to prevent overcharge, short circuits or overheating.

Absolutely - EP electric forklifts are sealed and weather-resistant for outdoor use in light rain. Their LiFePO₄ batteries perform well in cold conditions too – typically retaining around 80–90% capacity at –20 °C – making them suitable for refrigerated warehouses and other low-temperature environments.

Electricity is generally cheaper than diesel or LPG, so running an EP electric forklift costs significantly less per hour than an IC truck. Maintenance costs are also far lower: EP forklifts have no engine oil, no coolant or filters, and their batteries require virtually no upkeep (no watering), saving thousands of dollars per truck each year.

EP forklifts use high-voltage LiFePO₄ battery systems (typically 80v). Smaller models often include an onboard charger (e.g. 80V/10–15A single-phase) that plugs into a standard outlet. Larger trucks can use optional external chargers (for example, 80V/100A on 3-phase power) for faster charging. In practice, EP trucks charge from common 3-phase outlets with built-in or external chargers to suit different applications.
