Introducing the EP Equipment RTF25 2.5 Tonne 4WD Lithium Rough-Terrain Forklift — engineered for Australia’s toughest worksites. Powered by a high-voltage lithium pack with rapid recharge and full-shift endurance, its four-wheel electric traction, high ground clearance and aggressive pneumatic tread tyres deliver dependable grip and stability on mud, sand and rough yards; rugged hydraulics and sealed electrics provide quiet, low-maintenance performance that replaces diesel without compromising power.
Features
- High-Voltage Lithium Power Pack (309V / ~150Ah): Rapid-recharge lithium battery with liquid thermal management for full-shift endurance, long cycle life and maintenance-free operation.
- Dual AC Traction Motors with 4WD Drive:Independent electric traction motors deliver instant torque, smooth traction control and confident grip across mud, sand and loose surfaces.
- Robust Hydraulic Pump (≈26kW):: High-capacity hydraulic motor provides fast, consistent lift and tilt performance under heavy loads.
- High Ground Clearance (258 mm) & Wide Pneumatic Off-Road Tyres: Raised chassis and deep-tread tyres keep the truck moving over rocks, ruts and uneven yards without bottoming out.
- Sealed Electricals and IP-Rated Connectors:
Wiring looms, control modules and high-voltage components are sealed against dust and water for reliable outdoor use. - Zero Tailpipe Emissions & Low Noise Operation: Electric drive eliminates exhaust fumes and significantly reduces site noise compared with diesel machines.
- Clear Colour Display & CAN-bus Diagnostics:
Easy-to-read screen shows battery state, hours, fault codes and system status for quick operator checks. - Optional Enclosed Steel Cab with ROPS:
Weather protection, front window and rollover protection structure for safe operation in exposed sites. - Telematics & Fleet Management: Built-in compatibility for remote monitoring of battery health, location, usage and service scheduling.
- Fast Charging Capability & Flexible Charger Options:
Supports rapid top-ups between shifts to keep trucks on the job with minimal downtime. - Robust Chassis & Reinforced Fork Carriage: Heavy-duty frame and carriage design for dependable performance in abrasive environments.
- Hydraulic Cushioning & Smooth Load Handling: Dampened lift and tilt circuits reduce shock to loads and improve load control on rough terrain.
- Operator Presence System (OPS) & Safety Interlocks: Automatic safety cutouts and interlocks, parking brake, seat switch and mast limits to reduce risk of accidental movement.
- Stability-Focused Weight Distribution: Low centre of gravity and optimised axle loadings for secure handling on slopes and uneven ground.
- Quick-Access Service Points: Accessible battery removal path, service panels and tool-free latches to simplify routine maintenance.
- Optional Battery Heater & Thermal Management: Keeps battery performance reliable in cold starts and protects cells in hot conditions.
- LED Worklights with Protective Guards: Bright illumination for early starts and late finishes with rugged housings for site use.
- Adjustable Ergonomic Seat & Controls: Operator comfort features including adjustable seat position and reachable control layout to reduce fatigue.
- Steering Assist with Responsive Turning: Electric/hydraulic steering system tuned for precise control and easy manoeuvring in confined areas.
- Fork Positioner & Standard Fork Lengths: Fork spacing adjustment for irregular loads plus industry-standard fork sizes for pallet versatility.
- Onboard Energy Recovery (Regeneration): Braking and lowering energy feed back into the battery to extend operating time between charges.
- Robust Cooling & Contaminant Protection: Oversized coolers and dust-resistant routing protect power electronics and hydraulic systems on demanding sites.
- Safety Lighting & Audible Alarms: Rear work lights, reversing alarm and optional beacon for increased site awareness and hazard signalling.
- IP-Protected Charging Port & Secure Battery Lock: Weatherproof charging inlet and secure retention system for safe battery handling and charging.
- Reduced Total Cost of Ownership: Elimination of diesel, fewer service intervals and lower consumable needs cut operating expenses over the truck’s life.
- Customisable Performance Modes: Selectable drive and hydraulic response settings to match job demands, conserve energy or maximise productivity.
- Compliance-Ready Design: Built to meet common international lift truck safety standards and local workplace requirements, confirm local compliance and certification with your dealer.
- Rapid Diagnostics & Fault Logging: Onboard fault history and easy diagnostics speed up troubleshooting and reduce downtime.
- Rugged Tyre Protection Options: Optional tyre guards and dual-tyre configurations available for extreme-wear environments.
- Tailored Attachment Support: Compatible with common rough-terrain attachments and options for specialised site tasks.

Application
The EP Equipment RTF25-4L1-HV 2.5 tonne 4WD electric rough-terrain forklift is built for all-weather work across Australia’s outdoor industries. Perfect for fast pallet handling on rough access roads, loading and unloading trucks on coastal or dusty sites, moving materials around quarries and civil projects, and general farm or landscaping work where soft or uneven ground rules out standard counterbalance trucks.

Maximum Performance
- 309v / 150Ah battery (~46.4 kWh)
- Dual AC traction ~45 kW
- Top speed ~26 km/h
- Up to 50% gradeability (laden)
- Ground clearance 258mm
High Voltage Lithium Power
The RTF25-4L1-HV runs on a 309v lithium pack with 150Ah capacity, delivering instant torque, consistent power through a full shift and fast recharge capability. High-voltage architecture and dual AC traction motors give strong acceleration and stable travel speed up to about 26 km/h, so tough site moves happen faster and with predictable battery life.
Heavy-Duty Dominance
Designed for mud, sand and rough yards, the RTF25 combines full 4WD traction with a raised 258mm ground clearance and wide pneumatic tyres to chew through ruts and uneven ground. A reinforced chassis, skid protection and optional tyre guards keep vulnerable components safe, while sealed electrics and IP-rated connections protect systems from dust, water and salt-spray.
Superior Safety & Visibility
The operator station is built for long shifts: an adjustable seat, intuitive control layout and a clear colour display put vital information front and centre. Optional enclosed steel cab with ROPS, effective lighting and visibility-optimised mast geometry keep operators safe and comfortable in exposed or noisy environments, while safety interlocks and an operator presence system reduce the risk of accidental movement.
