Rippa RF35E

The RF35E is the largest in the series and is built for the loads where the other models stop: coils and bundles of sheet metal, stone blocks, crated machinery, transformers, bales and oversized pallets. The 1,070 mm forks adjust to an outer spread between 800 and 1,000 mm, and lifting goes up to 3,000 mm.

The difference from the 3 t version is not in the chassis — it keeps the same 2,700 mm length without forks, the same 1,100 mm width and the same 1,580 mm wheelbase — but in the motors: 10,000 W for travel and 10,000 W for the lifting hydraulics. It is the only model in the series whose lift motor is as powerful as its travel motor, which matters when the forks go up and down dozens of times per shift. Unladen weight rises to 4,200 kg, to counterbalance the 3,500 kg on the forks.

It is intended for halls with constant throughput and heavy-goods warehouses that work indoors and cannot tolerate exhaust fumes. Power is 60 V, from ten maintenance-free 12 V batteries, top speed remains 12 km/h and max. gradeability is 10%. At 4,200 kg unladen, it is transported on a flatbed, and floors and ramps must be checked for the total weight with the load.

Standard equipment includes hydraulic power steering, hydraulic wheel brakes and a handbrake, a one-piece cast steel drive axle, a heavy-gauge sheet steel steering axle, lift cylinders with ground bushings, an overhead guard at 2,150 mm and full lighting with headlights, indicators, brake light, running lights, dashboard and electric horn. The catalogue configuration includes a fork side shift.
