Description

This year there was a full package of improvements for the RX 20 series which was summarised under the designation RX 20 Facelift.
The main improvement affected the turnover performance, ergonomics and handling. With the new RX 20 Facelift, STILL offers customised products for an enormous range of customer requirements in internal logistics worldwide. The possible applications for indoor and outdoor utilisation of the series are manifold. They include warehouses for beverages, fruit and vegetables in food industry and trade, as well as printers, goods-in and goods-out departments of forwarders just as multi-shift operation in the automotive industry, for example, to provide materials to production lines.
Changing the battery over the side is easy and fast and increases availability of the truck especially in multi-shift operation.
The workspace for the driver offers outstanding visibility for more safety and high turnover performance.
The RX 20 series is ideal for companies that need an all-round truck for indoor and outdoor use alike in combination with a need for high turnover capacities as well as good gradeabilty characteristics on ramps.

Innovations

Discharge indicator:
The discharge indicator allows an exact estimate of the remaining time of service which is calculated on the current consumption and the charging level of the battery. This feature extents the function of the display and control unit by two features. One is an indication of the estimated residual driving time in minutes. This supports the driver to change or recharge the battery at the point in time best fitting into the work process. This will reduce costs of the truck for the operating company. The average consumption of the last 30 minutes is also indicated together with a trend indicator. This way the driver can see whether his current way of driving is above or below the average.
Sprint mode:
The flow of materials, for example in contract logistics, often sees peak times in which maximum turnover capacity needs to be made available. The sprint mode is activated by the driver pressing a button. The maximum driving speed can be temporarily increased by 25% to 20km/h.
Joystick 4Plus:
The new Joystick 4Plus presents an innovative hydraulic control for high turnover performance and comfortable operation.
Characteristics:

• Attractive design and intuitive, easy control
• Pleasing touch and natural rest position of the hand
• Low operation forces for little wrist strain when working and short leverage paths
• Control of four hydraulic functions without changing grip
• Controller can be easily exchanged with other Still hydraulic controls, e.g. mini-levers

Market relevance

The RX 20 series was designed for a very broad range of applications.

The improvements of the series mainly focussed on enhancing its efficiency. This affects turnover performance, ergonomics and handling. Especially the new Joystick 4Plus improves the workspace for the driver.

Customer benefits

The RX 20 series has proven its operational capability and dependability over many years in service. It is the series with the highest volume in the whole RX family. Since its launch in 2005, over 50 000 units of the RX 20 series with load capacities up to 2 tons have been built.
The new RX 20 trucks can be even better adapted to the requirements of the users and they can be used in an even broader range of applications. This increases work efficiency and reduces the costs per pallet moved. Many features of the new RX 20 also improve the workspace for the driver.
