LogiMAT 2023

The Still electric forklift trucks of the new RCE 25/35 series impress with intuitive operation and standardized equipment packages. Robust, low-maintenance, efficient and geared towards the essential core functions, they are smart entry-level solutions for companies with occasional and moderate transport operations. In addition, they are readily available and can even be ordered via digital channels. The Still RCE series is the first electric forklift truck of the new ‘Classic Line’, with which the Hamburg-based intralogistics expert is responding to the shift in market segments towards standardized entry-level products. Still presented the RCE 25/35 series for the first time at the LogiMAT trade fair in Stuttgart.

Electrifying solutions for in-plant transport have always been a key attribute of Still. With the RCE 25/35 series, the intralogistics expert is expanding its portfolio and for the first time presents electric forklift trucks in the market segment for entry-level solutions. In doing so, Still is once again demonstrating a keen sense of market developments in line with its philosophy of consistently developing products to meet customer needs.

After all, the market for intralogistics solutions is not only becoming increasingly complex but also increasingly differentiated. At the same time, the demand for vehicles that are standardized, focused on the essentials and quickly available is increasing. With the introduction of the Classic Line and the RCE 25/35 series, Still is providing a smart response to this development and, in addition to the premium market, will in the future also address the market segment of small and medium-sized companies with less complex operations and shorter operating times with best-fit solutions.

The Still RCE 25/35 series
The RCE 25/35 are forklift trucks focussed on the core functionalities and designed for simple to moderate applications in single-shift operation. Whether indoors or outdoors, when loading and unloading lorries, storing and retrieving goods or in production supply – the robust forklift trucks safely lift 3.5 tonnes to a height of up to 6.55 metres or reliably transport them from A to B at a maximum speed of 15 km/h.

At the same time, they are particularly energy-efficient and, thanks to the front-wheel drive with powerful, encapsulated 80 V three-phase drive motor, also suitable for rough applications. Just get in and get going – especially in occasional use the new series stands out with its intuitive operating concept. The driver’s workplace is clearly laid out, all controls are placed in the field of vision and are easy to reach. The 4.3′′ colour display shows all relevant information in a clearly legible manner. With the multi-lever hydraulic operation, precise load handling and sensitive control are easy to manage, even for less experienced operators. And when it comes to comfort, the new electric forklift trucks also fulfil the Still brand’s promises: a generously designed, ergonomic and individually adjustable driver’s workplace for fatigue-free working, extra legroom and several storage options.

Supreme Still quality and best service
There is no compromise in the RCE 25/35 series when it comes to quality and safety. Robust and high-quality parts, low-maintenance components and resistant materials – coupled with the well-known excellent Still service, they not only guarantee a high safety standard and reliable availability, but also ensure that companies benefit from their forklift trucks for a long time. The excellent all-round visibility thanks to large windows and slim mast profiles as well as reliable stability also increase safety for man, machine and goods. Other safety features such as Still Curve Speed Control (an assistance system for safe cornering), panoramic rear view mirrors, a glass roof or an additional safety light can be selected as options.

Short delivery times and attractive conditions
High availability and an attractive price are key purchasing criteria in the market segment for entry-level solutions. This is why the RCE 25/35 series is the first Still series that can be ordered via digital channels and is available at short notice thanks to pre-configured equipment packages. Buyers can choose between several options – a smart solution to cover a wide variety of different customer needs despite standardization. And in terms of price, the RCE is also a smart option for small businesses with moderate demands on their forklift truck, but with all the greater demands on the price-performance ratio of their investment.

Two product lines for maximum customer focus
The RCE 25/35 are the first electric forklift trucks in Still’s new ‘Classic Line’. By diversifying its product portfolio into the Xcellence Line and Classic Line, Still is responding to the shift in market segments towards standardized, readily available entry-level solutions and the trend towards customized product portfolios for a wide range of customer groups. The Still Xcellence Line continues to stand for the most innovative technologies, maximum efficiency and customizable solutions in the premium segment and remains the perfect solution for companies with demanding intralogistics challenges. In addition, STILL is establishing an attractive portfolio for small and medium-sized businesses with occasional and less demanding internal material flow requirements with the “Classic Line”.
