Maximum Power and German Reliability: Why Buy a Used Still Diesel Forklift
The German premium manufacturer Still is globally recognized for producing some of the most reliable, efficient, and technologically advanced material handling equipment on the market. Still diesel forklift trucks are specifically engineered to handle the toughest outdoor operations, heavy industrial environments, construction yards, and busy logistics terminals. They deliver uncompromising lifting power, rapid acceleration, and steady performance under extreme weather conditions.
The standout advantage of Still diesel trucks is their exceptional fuel economy, driven by innovative diesel-electric and hybrid drive concepts. These internal combustion forklifts are built for intensive, continuous multi-shift operations, running 24/7 without the downtime associated with battery recharging or long maintenance cycles.
At Booster Lift, we specialize in supplying premium pre-owned Still diesel forklifts sourced directly from trusted European fleets. Every single forklift undergoes a comprehensive computer diagnostic test and a meticulous pre-sale preparation process to ensure it delivers dependable, long-term service to your business.
Popular Series & Models in the Still Diesel Forklift Lineup
Still manufactures several distinct series of internal combustion trucks, tailored to meet different load capacities and operational requirements:
- Innovative Still RX 70 Series (Diesel-Electric / Hybrid):
- Load Capacity: 1.6 to 8.0 tons.
- Key Features: Still's flagship range. The diesel engine powers a generator, which transfers energy directly to electric wheel motors. This layout provides incredibly smooth driving, millimeter-precise load handling, and the lowest fuel consumption rates in its class. Models like the Still RX 70-25 and RX 70-30 are highly sought-after bestsellers on the European used market.
- Classic Still RC 40 Series (Hydrodynamic):
- Load Capacity: 1.6 to 3.5 tons.
- Key Features: Traditional internal combustion forklifts equipped with a hydrodynamic torque converter. These robust, straightforward, and highly durable machines are ideal for standard outdoor yard duties, handling uneven terrain, and working on steep ramps.
Technological Advancements and Key Innovations
Second-hand Still diesel forklift trucks retain excellent resale value on the used market thanks to several pioneering German technologies:
- Still Hybrid Technology: By recovering and storing kinetic energy during braking (recuperation) and utilizing a smart energy management system, the RX 70 series consumes up to 20% less fuel than conventional diesel engines.
- Still ProActive Operating Program: An intelligent assist system that dynamically adapts the forklift's acceleration and braking behaviors to match both the driver's habits and the weight of the load.
- Premium Ergonomic Cabins: A spacious, low-vibration cabin featuring panoramic visibility, an air-suspended comfort seat, and Still’s intuitive joystick control system (such as the Joystick 4Plus) helps prevent operator fatigue during long shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Still Diesel Forklifts (FAQ)
❓ How does the diesel-electric drive of the RX 70 differ from a conventional diesel forklift?
In standard diesel forklifts, the engine is connected to the wheels mechanically or hydraulically through a gearbox (torque converter). The Still RX 70 uses a hybrid principle: the diesel engine drives a generator to produce electricity, which then powers high-efficiency electric motors on the wheels. This eliminates wear-prone transmission components, provides an exceptionally smooth driving experience, and reduces fuel consumption to a record low.
❓ What engines are used in Still diesel forklift trucks?
Still partners with world-renowned industrial engine manufacturers to ensure maximum durability. In compact and mid-sized models (up to 3.5 tons), you will typically find highly reliable, fuel-efficient Japanese diesel engines from Kubota or Yanmar. Heavy-duty models (from 4 to 8 tons) are powered by robust and indestructible German Deutz engines, designed for maximum operating hours under heavy loads.
❓ Can a used Still diesel forklift be operated inside a warehouse?
Because of exhaust emissions, diesel forklifts are primarily intended for outdoor applications. However, modern Still RX 70 models comply with the strictest European emission regulations (Stage V). When equipped with an integrated diesel particulate filter (DPF) and operated in a well-ventilated indoor space with an active air extraction system, brief indoor operations are legally permitted.
❓ How does the Still Curve Control assist system improve safety?
Curve Control is an intelligent safety system developed by Still. It continuously monitors the forklift's steering angle and automatically, yet smoothly, reduces the driving speed when entering a turn. This virtually eliminates the risk of the forklift tipping over or dropping its load due to centrifugal forces, even if the operator enters a curve at a higher speed.
