EP North America is offering two new lithium-ion powered forklifts to the North American market.

The CPD45F8/50F8 is an IPX4 rated, pneumatic forklift designed for outdoor use to suit applications up to 10,000 lbs. (4,536 kg), utilising an integrated EP Energy 80V lithium-ion battery.

The EFLA251 has been engineered to provide a direct alternative to the internal combustion engine powered, ITA class IV cushion tyre forklift. It has a lift capacity of 5000 lbs.(2,267 kg) and comes standard with a 80V lithium-ion battery.

EP North America general manager Jason Bratton explains the addition of the two new products “continues to expand [our] portfolio to solve a wider range of material handling applications”.

EP North America manufactures electric forklifts, pallet jacks, stackers, order pickers and reach trucks.
