STILL RCD and RCG diesel and LPG forklifts, 1.5 to 5 tonnes

Living with the particulate filter

The diesel trucks clean their exhaust with a particulate filter. On the 1.5 to 2 tonne trucks, regeneration runs automatically and can be forced by hand when the truck is stopped; a lamp shows the soot level in five steps. Low-load work, short runs and a lot of idling can stop the filter cleaning itself, so the pattern of use matters.

Checking a used RCD or RCG

Look for black smoke, leaks under the truck, tyre wear and fork arm damage, and check that the chains are evenly taut and the fuel filter water trap has been drained. The overhead guard should show no deformation beyond 20 mm. Service is due every 500 hours, with longer checks at 1,000 and 3,000 hours, so ask for the service record. Every used RCD and RCG is inspected by our engineers before it is sold.

Supply, hire and training

As STILL’s exclusive dealer and distributor we supply the RCD and RCG new, in diesel or LPG. Diesel and LPG forklifts are available on hire and lease; ask us which models are available now. We run counterbalance forklift training at our centres and on customers’ sites.
