The RF15E is the forklift for the small warehouse and the workshop that handle pallets every day, but not heavy tonnages: unloading goods from the truck’s loading dock, stacking pallets of drinks, sacks or packaging, moving goods between the hall and the shop, feeding the production line. It lifts up to 3,000 mm, with 1,070 mm forks, while the lowered mast is 2,100 mm and the overhead guard 2,130 mm — figures that matter when the hall door or the warehouse ceiling is low.
What sets it apart from the rest of the series is the chassis: the 1,480 mm wheelbase is 100 mm shorter than on the other models, with a length without forks of 2,200 mm and a width of 1,200 mm, and a minimum turning radius of 2,300 mm outer and 550 mm inner. Travel and lifting are each powered by a 3,000 W AC motor, supplied at 60 V by five maintenance-free 12 V, 75 Ah batteries.
It suits shops with their own storeroom, workshops, distribution companies and any enclosed space where a diesel forklift has no place: it gives off no exhaust fumes, needs no diesel and is put on charge at the end of the shift. Solid tyres do not go flat or puncture on pallet debris, but they need a hard surface — concrete, asphalt, a warehouse floor. The unladen weight of 2,600 kg adds to the lifted load when calculating the load-bearing capacity of a floor slab or ramp, and the maximum gradient it can climb is 10%.
As standard it comes with hydraulic power steering, hydraulic wheel brakes and a handbrake, an overhead guard and full lighting — headlights, indicators, brake lights, running lights, dashboard lighting and electric horn. The catalogue configuration also includes a fork side shift, which lets you line up the pallet without repositioning the forklift. The outer distance between the forks adjusts from 800 to 1,000 mm, and the mast tilts 6° forward and 12° back.
