IFOY Award 2018 winner independently verified as the highest-performing electric forklift in its class. Now available for sale in UAE from Al Shirawi Enterprises.
The STILL RX 20 was awarded the 2018 IFOY Award the International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year Award for outstanding performance, energy efficiency, and innovation in the electric counterbalance forklift category up to 2 tonnes. IFOY testing is conducted by independent journalists and industry experts against the broadest field of competing machines globally. The jury stated: “The RX 20 is incredibly quiet and pleasant to drive. It offers good visibility in all directions and for such a compact vehicle offers the operator a surprising amount of space. With its perfect combination of energy efficiency and productivity, the RX 20 sets new standards in the segment of counterbalanced forklifts up to 2.5 tons.” For UAE procurement managers evaluating electric forklifts, this independent validation removes the guesswork from the buying decision.
Independent tests confirm the STILL RX 20 achieves the highest handling output in its class up to 430 pallet movements per shift, 4–15% more than competing electric forklifts of the same capacity. At a maximum drive speed of 20 km/h and with STILL’s Performance Boost sprint mode activating peak handling performance at the push of a button, the RX 20 handles both routine pallet movements and peak load cycles in UAE logistics, FMCG, and manufacturing environments without slowing down. For UAE warehouses operating two or three shifts daily, this productivity advantage translates directly into measurably lower cost-per-pallet across the full working day.
The STILL RX 20’s combination axle design for four-wheel trucks achieves the smallest turning radius in its load class enabling it to operate in working aisle widths that competing four-wheel electric forklifts cannot navigate. For UAE logistics facilities, FMCG warehouses, and distribution centres operating high-density racking systems with narrow aisle configurations in Jebel Ali, Dubai Logistics City, and Abu Dhabi’s Mussafah industrial area, this means the RX 20 accesses storage positions that a larger or less manoeuvrable forklift cannot reach improving storage density and space utilisation without facility redesign.
The STILL RX 20 Li-Ion version is equipped with the largest Li-Ion battery capacity in its class and supports rapid 30-minute interim charging that extends operating time by several hours — enabling genuine round-the-clock warehouse operation on a single battery, without the need for battery changes, additional battery sets, or dedicated charging shift breaks. For UAE facilities running two or three shift operations common in logistics parks, cold storage, and FMCG distribution across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, this is the critical operational advantage that lead-acid battery forklifts cannot match. Li-Ion batteries also deliver 29–38% lower energy consumption per 100 pallets compared to average lead-acid electric forklifts, and 80–133% longer practical operating time per charge.
STILL’s Blue-Q energy management programme reduces the RX 20’s energy consumption by up to 10–15% during normal operation by actively recovering kinetic energy during braking, deceleration, and lowering cycles and feeding it back into the battery. For a UAE warehouse operating a fleet of 5 RX 20 forklifts across two shifts daily, Blue-Q delivers material reductions in monthly electricity costs a quantifiable operational saving that improves the machine’s total cost of ownership calculation from day one.
The STILL Easy Control on-board computer is the RX 20’s central nervous system monitoring energy consumption in real time, displaying remaining battery charge and current status, managing all five operator performance programs, activating Performance Boost on demand, and alerting operators and fleet managers to service requirements before they cause downtime. For UAE fleet managers running multiple forklifts across large logistics operations, Easy Control’s data output integrates directly with STILL fleet management systems providing the operational visibility needed to plan maintenance proactively, optimise battery charging schedules, and track productivity per machine per shift.
The STILL RX 20’s operator cabin is independently recognised for delivering an exceptional working environment. IFOY testers specifically noted the RX 20’s spaciousness — “for such a compact vehicle, the operator has a surprising amount of space.” The cabin features extensive legroom, numerous storage options, an adjustable steering column with three settings, and a narrow mast design with panoramic armoured glass on all sides that delivers best-in-class forward and upward visibility for safe, precise load placement at height. For UAE operations running extended shifts in high-density warehouse environments, operator comfort directly impacts accident rates, load damage incidents, and daily throughput.
The STILL RX 20’s hydraulic system supports the full range of STILL-approved attachments side-shifters (standard on most configurations), fork positioners, clamp attachments, rotators, and multi-purpose carriers making a single RX 20 configurable for the diverse load types found across UAE logistics, retail, manufacturing, and cold chain operations. The Joystick 4Plus control option consolidates all attachment functions into a single hand control with an ergonomic arm rest reducing operator strain during high-frequency attachment operations across long daily shifts.

Where the STILL RX 20 Electric Forklift excels in UAE operations
The STILL RX 20 was engineered for the demanding multi-shift intralogistics and warehousing environments that define the UAE’s distribution and supply chain economy beverage and FMCG distribution, food retail incoming goods handling, logistics park operations, and manufacturing production supply chains where the forklift is a continuous, high-cycle asset rather than an occasional-use tool.
Its zero-emission operation makes it the only viable forklift choice for enclosed, climate-controlled, and food-compliant environments cold storage, food processing annexes, pharmaceutical warehouses, and any UAE facility with indoor air quality or contamination standards that combustion-engine forklifts would violate. Its Li-Ion battery option removes the last operational limitation of electric forklifts for multi-shift operations meaning UAE facilities that previously relied on diesel or LPG counterbalance forklifts for shift continuity now have a genuinely superior electric alternative.

The lateral battery change system — the fastest in its class — enables multi-shift use by swapping batteries in seconds. The Li-Ion version eliminates battery changes entirely through rapid 30-minute interim charging during breaks, enabling round-the-clock operation on a single battery. Li-Ion also delivers 29–38% lower energy consumption per 100 pallets than average lead-acid alternatives and a significantly longer battery service life. For UAE operations running two or three shifts, Li-Ion is the operationally and economically superior choice.
Yes. The STILL RX 20 is engineered for demanding continuous-duty warehouse operations and is fully compatible with UAE ambient temperature ranges. Its zero-emission operation is specifically required for UAE cold storage, pharmaceutical, food-grade, and enclosed distribution facilities where combustion engine forklifts cannot safely operate. STILL equipment supplied by Al Shirawi Enterprises is configured for UAE operating conditions, and our service team provides maintenance aligned with UAE duty cycles.
The three-wheel STILL RX 20 (e.g. RX 20-14C) has a rear single drive wheel that delivers the tightest possible turning radius — ideal for very narrow aisle warehouses, compact storage layouts, and facilities where space efficiency is the primary priority. The four-wheel version provides greater front-to-rear stability under maximum load at height — the right choice for facilities handling heavier pallet loads, operating on ramps, or requiring maximum stability when placing loads on the top tiers of high-bay racking. Al Shirawi Enterprises can advise on the optimal configuration for your UAE facility layout and load profile.
The STILL RX 20 reaches a maximum drive speed of up to 20 km/h the highest in its class with smooth, precise acceleration managed by the Easy Control on-board computer across five selectable operating programs.
