About the EP Equipment JX1-LI
The JX1-LI is the lithium-ion variant of EP Equipment's JX1 medium-level order picker. Specifications match the standard JX1 — 500kg capacity, 4.8m platform height, 6.3m picking height, 800mm chassis — with the battery system upgraded to a 24V lithium-ion pack.
The lithium upgrade makes the JX1-LI the better choice for operations running two or three shifts, sites without dedicated charging bays, or environments where minimising battery maintenance time matters.
Lithium Advantages Over Lead-Acid
| Feature | Lead-Acid JX1 | Lithium JX1-LI |
|---|---|---|
| Charge Time | 8+ hours (full cycle) | 2–3 hours |
| Opportunity Charging | Not recommended | Yes — top up between shifts |
| Battery Maintenance | Watering required | Zero maintenance |
| Consistent Power | Drops as charge depletes | Stable throughout discharge |
| Battery Life | 1,000–1,500 cycles | 3,000+ cycles |
For single-shift operations the standard JX1 is cost-effective. For businesses running extended hours, the JX1-LI delivers lower total operating cost and less downtime.
