EE Rated Electric Forklifts

EE Rated Electric Forklifts for Hazardous and Controlled Environments

EE rated electric forklifts are designed for facilities where enhanced electrical protection is required. These units feature enclosed motors, sealed wiring, and spark‑resistant components suitable for operations with flammable vapors, combustible dust, or sensitive manufacturing processes. Premier Lift Equipment supplies CSA‑approved EE forklifts across multiple classes, including reach trucks, 3‑wheel electrics, 4‑wheel electrics, deep‑reach trucks, stackers, and more.

What Does EE Rating Mean?

An EE rating indicates that the forklift has additional electrical protection beyond a standard electric model. These units include:

• Enclosed motors
• Sealed electrical components
• Spark‑resistant wiring and switches
• Reduced surface temperatures
• Protection against ignition sources

EE forklifts are required in environments where flammable vapors, dust, or sensitive materials may be present.

Common applications include:

• Chemical plants
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing
• Food and beverage production
• Paint and coating facilities
• Plastics and resin manufacturing
• Battery rooms
• Hazardous storage areas
• Controlled manufacturing zones

EE Rating Compared to Other Electric Ratings

• E Rating: Standard electric forklift for general warehouse use
• ES Rating: Additional safeguards for light‑sensitive environments
• EE Rating: Fully enclosed electrical system for hazardous vapors and dust
• EX Rating: Explosion‑proof equipment for the highest‑risk environments

EE is the most common requirement for industrial facilities that need enhanced protection but do not require full EX explosion‑proof equipment.
