RX 70-60 Diesel and LPG Trucks

Why Choose the STILL RX 70-60 Diesel & LPG Forklift?

The 6-tonne diesel or LPG forklift that replaces conventional drive with diesel-electric engineering — delivering higher performance, lower fuel costs, and longer life for UAE heavy operations

• Diesel-Electric Drive: The Technology That Separates the RX 70 from Every Conventional Diesel Forklift in UAE

  Every conventional diesel forklift in the UAE market — Toyota, Hyundai, Komatsu, Linde — uses a mechanical drive system: diesel engine → torque converter → transmission → drive axle. The STILL RX 70-60 uses a fundamentally different approach: the diesel or LPG engine generates electrical power that drives industrial AC electric motors at each function — traction, lift, and hydraulics. There is no mechanical gearbox, no torque converter, no transmission components subject to the wear and heat damage that makes conventional diesel drivetrain maintenance expensive and unpredictable. The electric motors deliver full torque from zero speed — no torque converter lag, no clutch slip, no hesitation under heavy load from standstill. This translates directly into faster, more productive load cycles in UAE port terminals, industrial yards, and warehouse inbound operations where standstill-to-load-pickup cycles are constant throughout every shift.

• Blue-Q Energy Recovery: Up to 15% Lower Fuel Costs on Every Shift

  STILL’s Blue-Q technology is the RX 70-60’s onboard fuel management system — actively recovering kinetic energy during braking, deceleration, and mast lowering cycles and feeding it back into the electrical system to reduce the engine’s demand. In a conventional diesel forklift, all of this energy is lost as heat through the brakes and hydraulic relief valves. In the RX 70-60, it is recovered and reused. For a UAE operation running three RX 70-60 diesel forklifts across a 10-hour shift, a 10–15% fuel saving represents a significant reduction in monthly diesel or LPG cost — and over the 10,000–15,000 operating hour service life of a heavy forklift fleet, it compounds into a material total cost of ownership advantage that no conventional diesel competitor can match on paper or in practice.

• Five Selectable Performance Programmes: One Machine, Multiple Applications

  The STILL RX 70-60’s on-board computer manages five selectable operator performance programmes that adjust travel speed, acceleration rate, braking sensitivity, and hydraulic response to match the specific requirements of the task and the operator — from a gentle, fuel-conserving programme for lower-intensity work cycles to a full-performance programme for peak productivity during high-throughput loading and unloading operations. Fleet managers can assign programmes by operator or by shift type — preventing unnecessary machine wear during standard cycles while enabling full performance capability when the operation demands it. No conventional mechanical-drive diesel forklift offers this level of programmable operational control.

• Up to 8 Tonne Capacity in One Model Family: Scale Your Fleet Without Changing Dealer

  The STILL RX 70 is not a single model — it is a family covering load capacities from 1,600 kg to 8,000 kg across eleven variants, all sharing the same diesel-electric architecture, the same Blue-Q energy system, the same operator environment, and the same STILL service infrastructure. For UAE fleet operators managing mixed-capacity requirements across different operational areas — lighter logistics handling in one zone, heavy port or steel yard handling in another — the ability to standardise the entire fleet on a single model family reduces training requirements, simplifies parts inventory, and consolidates service contracts to a single dealer relationship. The RX 70-60 at 6 tonnes and the RX 70-80 at 8 tonnes are the same machine family — not different product lines requiring separate service expertise.

• Joystick 4Plus: All Functions, One Hand, Zero Fatigue

  The Joystick 4Plus control — available on the STILL RX 70-60 — consolidates mast lift, tilt, side-shift, and all attachment functions into a single ergonomic joystick with an integrated arm rest. In a conventional diesel forklift, the operator moves between separate lift lever, tilt lever, and attachment levers throughout every load cycle — a repetitive motion pattern that generates significant cumulative hand, wrist, and shoulder strain across long daily shifts. The Joystick 4Plus eliminates this entirely: one hand on the steering wheel, one hand on the joystick, all functions responsive to a single control surface. In UAE operations running two-shift six-tonne forklift cycles in port terminals and heavy distribution centres, operator fatigue and associated error rates are measurably lower with Joystick 4Plus-equipped machines.

• Asymmetric Operator Seat: Best-in-Class Forward and Fork Visibility

  The STILL RX 70-60’s driver seat is asymmetrically offset — angled toward the load and mast — giving the operator a direct, unobstructed sightline to the fork carriage at load pickup height and to the load face during placement. On a conventional symmetrically seated diesel forklift, the operator must twist to see the forks clearly during approach — a posture that generates back strain and reduces placement accuracy. The asymmetric seat delivers the fork carriage sightline naturally, without twisting, throughout every cycle. Combined with the slim mast profile and large-format cab glazing on all sides, the RX 70-60’s visibility standard is independently recognised as outstanding for a 6-tonne machine — directly reducing load damage rates and near-miss incidents in heavy UAE logistics and industrial operations.

• Spacious, Configurable Operator Cab: Productivity Through Comfort

  The STILL RX 70-60 operator cab is designed around the recognition that a 6-tonne forklift in a UAE logistics or industrial operation typically runs across two or three shifts with multiple operators per day — and that operator comfort directly influences shift productivity, accident rates, and staff retention in the UAE’s competitive labour market. The cab provides extensive legroom, multiple storage compartments for operator equipment and documentation, an adjustable steering column, a premium suspension seat with multiple adjustment points, and ergonomic access via a wide, non-slip step and robust grab handles. Mini lever, Fingertip, and Joystick 4Plus control configurations allow the cab layout to be configured to individual operator preferences — a level of personalisation no conventional diesel forklift competitor in the UAE market currently matches.

• Robust UAE-Environment Engineering: Built for Heat, Dust, and Heavy Cycles

  The STILL RX 70-60 is engineered with encapsulated electrical systems, reinforced chassis components, and a low-centre-of-gravity vehicle architecture designed for the operational conditions of the UAE’s industrial environment — sustained high ambient temperatures, dusty outdoor yards, and the mechanical stress of continuous heavy-cycle operation across double shifts. The electric drivetrain eliminates the heat-sensitive torque converter and multi-disc clutch packs that conventional diesel transmissions rely on — reducing the number of components that degrade specifically under the high-temperature, high-cycle conditions that define UAE heavy forklift operations. The result is a machine with longer service intervals, lower unplanned downtime rates, and a more predictable maintenance cost profile than conventional mechanical-drive diesel competitors operating in the same UAE environment.
