Right machine if…

  • Steel, stone, paper rolls, moulds, machinery and heavy building products
  • Loads that regularly exceed 2.5 t
  • Sites with wide aisles and rated floor slabs

Wrong machine if…

  • Narrow aisles — turning radius is about 2.5 m
  • Mezzanines or ramps not rated for a ~5 t service weight
  • Sites without three-phase power

Why sites pick the EFX5-351

  • 24 kW lift motor (S3 15%) — strong full-load lift speed
  • Highest capacity in the fleet
  • Shares the EFX5 platform: same charger, same parts, same service

Rated capacity applies at a 500 mm load centre at low height. Residual capacity reduces with lift height, long loads and attachments — we verify the manufacturer load chart against your heaviest pallet and top beam height before recommending any machine.

Questions we get about the EFX5-351

When should I take the 3.5 t over the 2.5 t?

If your heaviest regular load exceeds 2.5 t — or sits close to it on long or offset loads — the 3.5 t gives you genuine headroom for only a small step in weekly rate. Running a 2.5 t machine at its limit every day is a safety and wear problem.

Will my floor handle it?

The EFX5-351 has a service weight around 5 t before the load. We check floor slabs, mezzanines, ramps and dock plates as part of the site assessment before delivery.

How much aisle width does it need?

Turning radius is approximately 2.5 m. As a rule of thumb allow 4 m+ working aisles for pallet work — we confirm this against your racking layout during the fit assessment.

Is the EFX5-351 right for your site?
