In the wine industry, internal logistics are a vital component of the production chain. From harvest and storage to bottling and shipping, handling equipment must meet a wide range of needs—always requiring precision, robustness, and reliability. In this context, the STILL RX 20 electric forklift stands out as a trusted partner, combining compactness, performance, and maneuverability—qualities perfectly suited to the demands of viticulture.
The STILL RX 20 is a front-loading electric forklift available in several versions, with lifting capacities ranging from 1.4 to 2 tonnes. This makes it an ideal choice for wine cooperatives, estates, or wine merchants who need to move pallets of bottles, boxes, or grape crates through often narrow spaces such as wine cellars, loading bays, or storage areas. Thanks to its tight turning radius, the RX 20 moves with exceptional agility in confined aisles. It also performs well on uneven ground, maintaining remarkable stability—even under load.
Driver comfort is a real advantage of the RX 20, especially during the long working days typical of the wine sector during harvest or shipping seasons. The operator’s station has been designed to provide optimal visibility in all directions, reducing the risk of collisions or dropped loads in cluttered environments. The suspended seat, ergonomic controls, and low noise level of the electric motor all contribute to improved working conditions for operators, which also translates into increased productivity.
From an energy standpoint, the RX 20 offers more than enough battery life to handle a full shift—or even multiple shifts—thanks to its optimized consumption and high-capacity batteries. For a vineyard operation, this means the forklift can be used from grape reception all the way to truck loading without needing to pause for battery charging.
The RX 20’s compact design also allows easy access to underground spaces, which are often characteristic of traditional wine cellars. Its small size allows it to work in areas where bulkier or combustion-powered machines would be unsuitable. This feature makes it well adapted to the space constraints and hygiene standards of winemaking environments, where gas emissions and noise are prohibited. Quiet and clean, the RX 20 meets the quality requirements of sensitive work areas—especially where preserving the integrity of wine during aging is crucial.
Its versatility is another key strength in the vineyard world. It performs equally well outdoors, in loading zones, under shelter, or indoors. In all weather conditions and on any stabilized surface, it remains reliable, stable, and easy to operate. Its low maintenance needs and robust construction ensure a long service life, even under demanding usage conditions.
Whether you're a small vineyard or a large-scale producer, the STILL RX 20 proves to be a smart choice. Its energy efficiency, quiet operation, precise handling, and mechanical reliability make it an ideal tool to support winery logistics—from press to bottle.
