Unlike semi-electric pallet trucks that require manual hand-pumping to lift the forks, the EPT-2748-30 delivers FULL electric operation — battery-powered drive AND electric lift — so the operator never manually pumps or pushes anything. Walk behind the unit, control everything from the ergonomic multi-function handle, and the truck does all the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 18px; font-size: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePositioned for Light-Duty \/ Compact Applications:\u003c\/strong\u003e With 3,000 lb load capacity, 27\" × 48\" forks sized for standard GMA pallets, and a service weight of just 328 lbs, this is the entry-level fully-electric option. It's ideal for facilities that prioritize three things: full electric convenience (no manual pumping), compact body for tight spaces (small turning radius, fits narrow aisles), and budget-conscious pricing (entry-tier fully electric models cost significantly less than mid-range and heavy-duty variants). If your operation needs higher capacity, consider Vestil's 4,500 lb fully electric EPT models — see our cross-sell links for upgrade paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 18px; font-size: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLithium-Ion Battery — Maintenance-Free Operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e The EPT-2748-30 ships with a maintenance-free 24V\/20Ah lithium-ion battery. Unlike older lead-acid wet-cell batteries, the lithium-ion technology requires no watering, no off-gassing, and delivers faster charging with thousands of charge cycles. The battery pack is INTERCHANGEABLE — meaning facilities running multi-shift operations can purchase additional battery packs (sold separately, see Optional Accessories on this page) and swap batteries during shift changes instead of waiting for a single battery to charge. This effectively eliminates downtime for charging during peak operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 18px; font-size: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErgonomic Multi-Function Handle Controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Everything the operator needs is integrated into the handle — emergency reverse button (instant safety stop), real-time battery indicator, raise\/lower buttons for electric lift control, audible horn, and forward\/reverse butterfly throttle switch. The handle returns to vertical position automatically when released for added safety, and the unit can be operated with the handle in the up-right position — useful for slow precision movements in tight spaces, around personnel, or when working close to shelving and equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0; font-size: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Capacity Notice:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the ECONOMY \/ LIGHT-DUTY fully electric model rated for 3,000 lbs. If your typical pallet loads exceed 3,000 lbs, this is not the right truck for your operation — consider the higher-capacity fully electric EPT models (4,500 lb capacity tier) or contact us for a recommendation based on your specific load weights and shift volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFully electric
