6 Tonne Diesel or LPG Forklift for Sale in UAE | Diesel-Electric Drive | Authorised STILL Dealer Since 1998
The STILL RX 70-60 is not a conventional diesel forklift. It is the result of STILL engineering a diesel-electric powertrain — the same principle that powers modern hybrid locomotives and construction equipment — into a 6-tonne counterbalance forklift. A diesel or LPG engine generates electricity. Industrial AC electric motors drive the wheels, the hydraulics, and all performance functions. The result is a forklift that delivers higher torque from standstill, smoother speed control, longer drivetrain service life, and lower fuel consumption than any mechanical-drive diesel forklift at this capacity — while retaining the unlimited runtime, outdoor capability, and heavy-load performance that diesel provides.
Available in both diesel and LPG configurations, with five selectable performance programmes, STILL’s Joystick 4Plus multi-function control, and Blue-Q intelligent energy recovery as standard, the RX 70-60 is the most technically advanced 6-tonne diesel or LPG forklift available for sale in the UAE today.
Available exclusively from Al Shirawi Enterprises — the authorised STILL dealer in the UAE since 1998.

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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Where the STILL RX 70-60 diesel and LPG forklift delivers for UAE operations
The STILL RX 70-60 was designed for exactly the applications that define heavy material handling in the UAE — high-cycle outdoor operations, sustained heavy loads, multi-shift availability requirements, and the challenging combination of high ambient temperatures and dusty environments that accelerate wear on conventional mechanical drive systems.
The diesel version is the right choice for UAE port terminals, outdoor logistics yards, construction site material logistics, steel and heavy materials handling, and any operation where outdoor use, unlimited runtime, and maximum traction under heavy load are the operational priorities. The LPG version serves the same capacity requirements in environments where diesel fumes create a ventilation or indoor air quality constraint — covered manufacturing facilities, food distribution annexes, mixed indoor-outdoor logistics centres, and facilities where environmental compliance requirements make diesel increasingly difficult to operate.
Both versions share the same diesel-electric architecture, Blue-Q energy recovery, five performance programmes, and Joystick 4Plus control — meaning UAE fleet operators can run a standardised mixed fleet of diesel and LPG RX 70-60 units across different areas of the same facility with identical operator experience, identical spare parts inventory, and a single service contract.

Everything UAE buyers need to know about the STILL RX 70-60 diesel and LPG forklift
The STILL RX 70-60 is one of the most technically advanced 6-tonne diesel or LPG forklifts available in the UAE. Its diesel-electric drive system — using industrial AC electric motors rather than a conventional mechanical gearbox — delivers higher performance from standstill, lower fuel consumption through Blue-Q energy recovery, and longer drivetrain service life than conventional mechanical-drive diesel forklifts. It is available exclusively in the UAE from Al Shirawi Enterprises, the authorised STILL dealer since 1998.
A diesel forklift uses diesel combustion fuel and is optimised for outdoor, heavy-duty operations with unlimited runtime and maximum torque — the standard choice for UAE port terminals, outdoor yards, and construction site logistics. An LPG forklift burns liquid petroleum gas, producing lower particulates and less carbon monoxide than diesel — making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor operations where diesel emissions are a ventilation or compliance concern. The STILL RX 70-60 is available in both versions from Al Shirawi Enterprises, with identical diesel-electric architecture and performance across both fuel types.
A diesel-electric forklift — like the STILL RX 70-60 — uses a diesel or LPG engine to generate electrical power, which drives industrial AC electric motors for traction and hydraulics instead of a conventional mechanical gearbox and torque converter. The benefits are significant: immediate full torque from standstill with no lag, no mechanical transmission wear, Blue-Q energy recovery during braking and lowering, and five programmable performance levels. For UAE heavy operations running multiple shifts, the diesel-electric system delivers better performance, lower fuel cost, and lower maintenance frequency than any conventional mechanical-drive diesel forklift in this capacity class.
The STILL RX 70-60 has a rated load capacity of 6,000 kg at a 600 mm load centre. The RX 70 series extends from 1,600 kg to 8,000 kg (RX 70-80/900 at 900 mm load centre), all in the same diesel-electric platform. All variants travel at 20 km/h and are available from Al Shirawi Enterprises in the UAE.
Blue-Q is STILL’s onboard energy management and recovery programme. During braking, deceleration, and mast lowering, the RX 70-60 recovers kinetic energy through the electric drive system and feeds it back into the electrical supply — reducing the engine’s total fuel demand by up to 10–15% during normal operation. For UAE fleets running multiple RX 70-60 units across extended daily shifts, Blue-Q delivers a measurable, recurring fuel cost saving that compounds meaningfully over the machine’s 10,000–15,000 operating hour service life.
