Heavy-Duty Electric Forklift for Sale in UAE | 2.5–8 Tonne | Outperforms Diesel | Authorised STILL Dealer Since 1998
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.
Available across the full 2.5–8 tonne range from Al Shirawi Enterprises the exclusive authorised STILL dealer in the UAE since 1998.

Three IFOY Awards. Independently proven 9% more productive than diesel. Available in 2.5–8 tonnes. The definitive diesel replacement for UAE heavy logistics.
The STILL RX 60 is the only electric forklift range to win the IFOY Award – the international “Logistics Oscar” judged by independent experts and industry journalists – three separate times across three different capacity categories. The RX 60-60/80 won in 2015, the RX 60-25/35 won in 2017, and the IFOY jury returned the award to the RX 60-25/35 high-performance version again in 2020. The 2020 jury commented that the RX 60-25/35 “stands out in all comparisons due to its outstanding performance and its potential to outperform combustion engine vehicles.” For UAE procurement managers specifying a heavy-duty electric forklift, three independent IFOY Awards across the same product family is the most authoritative validation available in the global forklift industry eliminating the need to take the manufacturer’s own performance claims on trust.
Independent tests by F+H magazine the most widely referenced logistics and materials handling publication in Europe confirmed that the STILL RX 60-25/35 high-performance version delivers 9% higher handling output than the leading diesel-powered counterbalance forklift in its class. The 2020 IFOY productivity test recorded 363 pallet cycles in 8 hours — a class record. These are not manufacturer-published figures. They are independently measured and published results from tests that included every major competing machine. For UAE operations that have historically relied on diesel or LPG counterbalance forklifts because electric alternatives were seen as insufficient for heavy-cycle industrial applications, the RX 60’s independently verified performance advantage removes the last justification for choosing a combustion engine. The performance is there. The data confirms it. The switch to electric is now a financial and operational decision not a capability one.
The STILL RX 60 with Li-Ion battery eliminates the operational compromise that has historically made lead-acid electric forklifts impractical for multi-shift UAE operations. The Li-Ion system supports rapid interim charging topping up the battery during operator breaks and shift transitions without removing the battery from the truck. An optional onboard charger can be fitted directly to the machine, allowing the RX 60 to charge at any standard power socket anywhere in a UAE facility, yard, or port terminal without dedicated charging infrastructure. The RX 60-35/50 with maximum battery capacity can operate for 12 consecutive hours on a single charge under standard conditions. With interim charging, round-the-clock operation on a single battery is achievable matching and exceeding diesel’s operational availability while delivering zero-emission performance throughout.
Despite handling loads up to 8 tonnes, the STILL RX 60 range is engineered with compact dimensions and a small turning radius that enables it to operate in working aisle widths that standard heavy counterbalance forklifts diesel, LPG, or electric cannot navigate. The flagship RX 60-80/900 lifts 8 tonnes in working aisles of just 4,999 mm. For UAE logistics facilities, FMCG distribution centres, and manufacturing plants where floor space efficiency is a commercial priority, the RX 60’s ability to handle heavy loads in compact aisle widths directly increases the number of storage positions per square metre delivering a measurable improvement in warehouse utilisation without costly structural modifications.
The STILL RX 60 is equipped throughout its range with the STILL Easy Control on-board computer providing real-time battery status, energy consumption monitoring, performance program management, and direct access to performance functions from the driver’s seat. It is complemented by a suite of active safety and assistance systems that set it apart from competing heavy electric forklifts: automatic overload detection that monitors load weight relative to the rated capacity and physically blocks the lifting function if the threshold is exceeded by more than 10%; Curve Speed Control that automatically reduces drive speed when cornering; mast tilt angle display for precise load placement at height; and a digitally guided pre-shift check that identifies maintenance requirements before the shift starts rather than during it. For UAE fleet managers responsible for operator safety in busy logistics and industrial environments, these systems reduce the risk of load damage, tip-over incidents, and operator injury creating a measurably safer working environment from day one.
The STILL RX 60-35/50 achieves a minimum energy consumption of 8.77 kW per handling cycle the lowest in its class. Across a fleet of five RX 60 forklifts in a UAE logistics centre operating two shifts daily, this energy efficiency advantage versus less efficient electric alternatives or diesel machines translates into meaningful electricity cost savings every month, every year, across the machine’s full service life. Combined with STILL’s 1,000-hour service interval significantly longer than many competing machines — the RX 60’s total cost of ownership calculation consistently outperforms both diesel counterparts and less efficient electric alternatives across the 10,000–15,000+ operating hour service life typical of UAE heavy forklift fleets.
The STILL RX 60 is available in more configuration variants than any other heavy electric forklift in the UAE market covering load capacities from 2.5 to 8 tonnes, load centres from 500 to 900 mm, superelastic and pneumatic tyre options, indoor and outdoor cab configurations including fully enclosed weather-protected cabs and container-loading height variants, multiple mast types (duplex, NiHo, triplex) for different lift height requirements, and a comprehensive attachment range including side-shifters, fork positioners, clamp attachments, rotators, and work platforms. For UAE operations with diverse load types, mixed indoor-outdoor environments, and varying aisle width constraints, a single RX 60 can be precisely configured to the operation rather than requiring the operation to adapt to the machine.
The STILL RX 60-60/80 series is certified to operate effectively in damp and dusty environments making it the only heavy electric forklift in the UAE market fully rated for the challenging conditions present in port operations, outdoor logistics yards, construction material handling, and industrial facilities where moisture, dust, and particulate contamination are constant environmental factors. The RX 60-25/35 and RX 60-35/50 ranges are available with pneumatic tyre configurations (L variants) for operation on outdoor surfaces, loading aprons, and mixed terrain environments — giving the RX 60 outdoor versatility that indoor-only electric forklifts cannot provide, while maintaining the zero-emission, low-noise profile that UAE facility environmental compliance increasingly requires.
When the load is 3.5 tonnes, 5 tonnes, or 8 tonnes and the operation runs across two or three shifts in a UAE port, logistics park, or manufacturing facility the forklift is not a commodity purchase. It is a capital investment that your business will depend on for 10,000 to 15,000 operating hours. The supplier you choose for that machine defines how reliably it performs across every one of those hours.

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.
