Ekko EK40D 8,500 lb Diesel Forklift
Take Control with the Ekko EK40D 8,500 lb Diesel Forklift – 185" Max Lift Height. Buying a bargain-basement forklift often means dealing with frequent breakdowns, sky-high maintenance costs, and poor lifting performance that slows down every job. With the Ekko EK40D 8,500 lb Diesel Forklift, you get a diesel workhorse built to handle your toughest material-handling demands without breaking the bank. Its Tier 4 EPA-compliant Mitsubishi 4G9 3.3L engine keeps you emissions-ready while delivering reliable power, and the 185" maximum lift height with a 24" load center lets you stack pallets higher without compromising stability.
Performance & Applications
Every detail of this diesel forklift is designed for operator comfort and efficiency. The spacious overhead guard features a large arc-shaped front leg that boosts visibility, while the multifunctional suspended seat soaks up vibration and balances driver weight. An easily adjustable steering wheel ensures a perfect driving position, reducing fatigue during long shifts. Thanks to the impedance-composite muffler, noise levels stay low so operators can focus on productivity instead of constant distractions.
Heavy-Duty Productivity
When you’re running a busy warehouse or distribution center, downtime isn’t an option. The EK40D’s durable solid pneumatic tires and hydraulic floor-pedal service brake deliver smooth handling on any surface. With a robust service weight and competitive pricing, this Ekko forklift pays for itself through lower repairs, reduced fuel consumption, and faster cycle times.
