The STILL RX 60 is the most awarded heavy-duty electric forklift in the world and the only electric forklift in its class independently proven to outperform diesel. The high-performance version of the RX 60-25/35 was independently tested by F+H magazine and confirmed to deliver 9% higher handling output than the leading diesel-powered forklift. It has won the IFOY Award the “Logistics Oscar” three times: in 2015 for the 6–8 tonne RX 60-60/80, in 2017 for the 2.5–3.5 tonne RX 60-25/35, and again in 2020 when the IFOY jury confirmed it set a new productivity record of 363 pallets in 8 hours in its class.

For UAE businesses running heavy logistics, manufacturing, port, and distribution operations the RX 60 eliminates the last reason to choose diesel: it matches diesel performance, exceeds diesel productivity, and delivers it with zero emissions, lower operating costs, and Li-Ion battery technology that runs around the clock without charging stops.

Why Buy Your Heavy-Duty Electric Forklift from Al Shirawi Enterprises?

Applications

Where the STILL RX 60 Electric Forklift delivers in UAE industrial and logistics operations

The STILL RX 60 was designed for the applications where diesel and LPG counterbalance forklifts have historically dominated not because electric alternatives were technically inferior, but because no electric forklift previously matched diesel performance at heavy load capacities. The RX 60’s triple IFOY Award wins and F+H magazine’s independently confirmed 9% productivity advantage over diesel changed that permanently.

In the UAE, this matters operationally for three reasons. First, the UAE’s industrial and logistics sectors are rapidly scaling Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai Logistics City, Abu Dhabi’s Mussafah and KIZAD, and Sharjah’s industrial areas all host heavy-cycle forklift operations that previously required diesel or LPG machines because of capacity and availability requirements. The RX 60 with Li-Ion now meets both requirements with zero emissions. Second, UAE facility operators face increasing regulatory and commercial pressure to reduce combustion engine use in enclosed and semi-enclosed facilities a standard the RX 60’s zero-emission operation permanently satisfies. Third, diesel fuel and LPG costs in UAE commercial operations represent a material and volatile line in the operational budget; the RX 60’s lower and fixed electricity-based energy cost removes that volatility.

Typical Applications in UAE:

  • Heavy logistics distribution centres — inbound pallet receipt, bulk storage, outbound despatch
  • FMCG and beverage warehousing — high-cycle heavy pallet movement and tiered storage
  • Jebel Ali Free Zone and port terminal operations — container yard and freight handling
  • Abu Dhabi port and KIZAD industrial zone logistics
  • Manufacturing production supply — heavy component feeding, finished goods handling
  • Steel, aluminium, and metals handling facilities
  • Building and construction material warehousing — tiles, aggregates, heavy goods
  • Cold storage and temperature-controlled distribution — where diesel fumes are prohibited
  • Food processing and food-grade facility logistics
  • Automotive parts and vehicle assembly supply chains
  • Pharmaceutical and medical equipment distribution
  • Government and municipality heavy fleet operations
  • Outdoor logistics yards and loading aprons (pneumatic tyre variants)
  • Mixed indoor-outdoor heavy pallet and container handling

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything UAE buyers need to know about the STILL RX 60 electric forklift

What is the best heavy-duty electric forklift for sale in UAE?

The STILL RX 60 is the independently verified best heavy-duty electric counterbalance forklift across the 2.5–8 tonne range. It has won the IFOY Award the industry’s highest independent honour three times across its range in 2015, 2017, and 2020. F+H magazine’s independent productivity tests confirm the RX 60-25/35 high-performance version delivers 9% more handling output than the leading diesel forklift. It is exclusively available in the UAE from Al Shirawi Enterprises, the authorised STILL dealer since 1998.

Can the STILL RX 60 replace a diesel forklift in UAE?

Yes — and it outperforms diesel. Independent F+H magazine tests confirm the STILL RX 60 high-performance version delivers 9% higher handling productivity than the leading diesel counterbalance forklift in its class. With zero emissions, lower operating costs, and Li-Ion battery enabling round-the-clock operation without refuelling stops, the RX 60 surpasses diesel across every operational and financial metric. For UAE facilities currently running diesel or LPG forklifts in heavy-cycle operations, the RX 60 transition delivers immediate emissions compliance, lower energy costs, and higher productivity from day one.

What load capacity does the STILL RX 60 cover?

The STILL RX 60 covers the full 2.5–8 tonne heavy counterbalance forklift range across three sub-ranges: the RX 60-25/35 for 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5 tonne applications; the RX 60-35/50 for 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0 tonne applications; and the RX 60-60/80 for 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0 tonne heavy industrial applications including port and heavy manufacturing operations.

What is the price of the STILL RX 60 electric forklift in UAE?

STILL RX 60 pricing in the UAE varies by load capacity (2.5–8 tonnes), mast configuration (duplex, NiHo, triplex), battery type (lead-acid or Li-Ion), cab specification, tyre type, and optional safety and attachment equipment. For a tailored quotation, contact Al Shirawi Enterprises at +971 4 371 8585. Fleet pricing and multi-unit supply packages are available for large logistics, manufacturing, and government fleet operators in the UAE.

What is the STILL RX 60’s Li-Ion battery advantage for UAE multi-shift operations?

The STILL RX 60 Li-Ion version supports rapid interim charging during operator breaks and shift transitions, enabling round-the-clock operation on a single battery without removing the battery from the truck. The optional onboard charger allows the machine to charge at any standard power socket anywhere in a UAE facility — port apron, warehouse corner, outdoor loading bay without dedicated charging infrastructure. For UAE operations running two or three shifts in logistics parks, cold storage, manufacturing, and port terminals, Li-Ion availability matches and exceeds diesel’s operational continuity while delivering zero-emission performance across every shift.

Is the STILL RX 60 suitable for outdoor use in UAE conditions?

Yes. The RX 60-25/35 and RX 60-35/50 ranges include pneumatic tyre (L) variants for outdoor surfaces. The RX 60-60/80 is rated for operation in damp and dusty environments directly applicable to UAE port terminals, outdoor logistics yards, construction material handling, and industrial facilities where environmental conditions are challenging. All RX 60 variants are designed for the kind of sustained heavy-cycle outdoor applications common across UAE port, logistics, and industrial operations.

What is the difference between the STILL RX 20 and STILL RX 60?

The STILL RX 20 handles load capacities from 1,400–2,000 kg and is the top-selling, IFOY-winning electric forklift for high-cycle indoor warehouse operations where turning radius and energy efficiency per pallet are the primary metrics. The STILL RX 60 handles 2,500–8,000 kg and is engineered for heavy-duty operations where load weight, structural robustness, multi-shift availability, and outdoor capability are the priorities. Both carry IFOY Awards. Both are available from Al Shirawi Enterprises the only authorised STILL dealer in the UAE.

What makes the STILL RX 60-60/80 different from the 2.5–5 tonne models?

The STILL RX 60-60/80 is STILL’s heavy industrial electric counterbalance forklift for 6–8 tonne applications port operations, steel and heavy metals handling, bulk raw material logistics, and any application where pallet and load weights exceed the 5-tonne limit of the mid-range. The flagship RX 60-80/900 lifts 8 tonnes at a 900 mm load centre in working aisles of just 4,999 mm and it won the IFOY 2015 Award, with the jury commenting: “STILL is proving that electric drive has become a valid and recommendable alternative for companies handling heavy loads.” It is available in the UAE exclusively from Al Shirawi Enterprises.
