About The New ICE253/303/353 Series
To meet the needs of modern intralogistics applications, EP introduces the enhanced ICE Series electric forklift, combining robustness, ergonomics, and adaptability. The new ICE Series is designed to address a wide range of application requirements, particularly in rugged environments or during intensive shifts—the S/P version excels in demanding tasks. With its robust design and lithium power source, it serves as an excellent alternative to diesel internal combustion forklift trucks.

Application

Versatile: This electric forklift is ideal for industries such as beverage, logistics, and construction, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
All-Weather Ready: Equipped with a fully upgraded overhead guard for cabin use, it adapts well to all weather conditions.
Shift-Ready: With opportunity charging capabilities, this lithium-powered truck supports multiple shifts without downtime.


Key Highlights

Robust Design: Built on the T8 IC truck chassis, it offers enhanced durability and manoeuvrability in tight spaces.

Ergonomic Enhancements: Features an upgraded LCD display that provides essential truck information for a safe and easy driving experience.

Structural Flexibility: The overhead guard is designed for straightforward cabin installation, allowing operation even in rainy conditions or challenging environments.

High Performance: Tailored for tough conditions, the S/P version delivers superior performance and high utilization.


Features
The P version can deliver:

• Max battery capacity 560Ah Li-ion battery
• Max travel speed 19/20km/h
• Max gradeability 22/28%
• Max lifting speed 0.48/0.54m/s 

• The truck structure integrates aesthetics and practical design: The design of the new ICE Series beautifully balances practicality and aesthetics. It retains the robust chassis of the T8 IC truck series while featuring a more streamlined and compact counterweight, making it better suited for confined spaces. Additionally, the rain-proof charging port protects against water splashes, ensuring safe charging.

• Ergonomic improvements for comfortable operation: The workspace of the new ICE Series is spacious, equipped with a simplified control panel and a comfortable pedal. A new LCD display clearly shows speed, working hours, battery status, mileage, and parking status, allowing operators to quickly assess the truck's condition at a glance.

• Joystick option available for fatigue-free work: The S/P version can be outfitted with hydraulic joystick controls instead of traditional mechanical levers. Positioned at the end of the armrest, these controls can be operated with just the fingers, enhancing ergonomics. The joystick controls include all fork hydraulic functions (including the fourth way), driving direction (F-N-B), horn, and emergency stop button.

• Outdoor behaviour with high-visibility closed roof and cabin options: Standard with a bolted overhead guard, the new ICE Series features a closed roof made of tempered glass and flat high-strength steel bars, offering exceptional visibility in its category. This design allows for safe load handling at all heights and boosts productivity by increasing the number of pallet movements. Outdoor performance can be further enhanced with cabin options such as a front windshield, semi-cab, full cabin, heater, and A/C. For added flexibility, the front windshield and semi-cabin can be offered as a retrofit kit for easy dealer installation.

• Reliability enhanced by mature components: The new generation of the ICE Series uses mature components similar to the first generation, including electrical parts, gearbox, Li-ion battery, controller, and mast. This ensures high reliability and simplifies parts stock management.

• Lithium technology to replace internal combustion engine: Lithium technology has proven to be an emission-free and maintenance-free alternative to diesel. The new generation of the ICE Series consistently handles loads with high performance, thanks to opportunity charging, even in the most demanding applications.
