2.5T Heavy-Duty Electric Forklift
EFL253P Forklift Model
The EFL253P is the premium configuration of EP’s 2.5 tonne EFL 3 Series. EP positions it around an 80V/280Ah lithium-ion battery, a 17 kW drive motor, travel speeds up to 20 km/h, lifting speeds up to 0.54 m/s and gradeability up to 28 percent. It also carries the IC-style EFL chassis, optional joystick controls and a wide range of cabin and fleet-management options.
For Perth sites, the EFL253P makes sense when the forklift is working hard all day and the standard or S version is likely to feel light on endurance. It suits intensive logistics, production and material handling environments where you want the strength of an IC-style truck but without the fuel, emissions and servicing profile of diesel. Compass Forklifts can supply the EFL253P for purchase, hire or lease, with finance options available if buying outright is not the right fit.
