Diesel forklift RF35

Available

A 3500 kg diesel forklift with a 37 kW 4D27ZG31 engine and a 3000 mm lift height – up to 18 km/h laden and fuel-saving hydraulics.

ID: RF35

The Rippa RF35 is a diesel forklift with a 3500 kg rated capacity (500 mm load centre) and a 3000 mm lift height, powered by a 37 kW 4D27ZG31 engine. It travels at up to 18 km/h laden and 20 km/h unladen. Mirrors, work lights and a reinforced mast add safety and convenience, and the stable structure keeps the forklift steady even at full load – for logistics, warehousing and manufacturing.

Multi-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine

A large multi-blade fan at the front of the engine, belt-driven, keeps the engine at its ideal operating temperature even during long periods under heavy load.

High-performance hydraulic cylinders

With a high-quality sealing system and precision-machined parts, the cylinders carry heavy loads and push and pull smoothly. The seals come from Japan's NOK.

Wiring harness

The wiring harness carries sensor signals – oil pressure and coolant temperature – to the control unit and delivers its commands to the electronic fuel injectors.

High-strength mast

Made of high-strength steel with a reinforced structure, the mast is very rigid and resists twisting and bending, so it stays stable under heavy loads. Independent side rollers keep the gap between the channels small, and branded chains carry more than five times the load.

Fuel-saving hydraulics

Hydraulics taken from Rippa's construction machinery, with a load-sensing variable-displacement pump, supply only as much oil as the job needs – no losses and no extra load on the engine. Loads can be raised precisely even at low engine speed, attachments run smoothly and fuel consumption drops by up to 20% (Rippa's measurements).

Brakes and steering

The hydraulic brakes stop powerfully, quickly and smoothly, and Rippa's cushioning valve matches the braking force to the pressure on the pedal, giving the operator better control. Fully hydrostatic power steering with a small steering wheel works even at standstill and makes manoeuvring with a load in tight spaces easy.

Safety and comfort

An alarm sounds if the parking brake is not applied, the engine starts only with the direction switch in neutral and the brake pedal pressed, and the overhead guard meets ANSI/ITSDF B56.1. A dual floating mounting absorbs vibration from the engine and the ground, the full-suspension seat has a retractable seat belt, and the exhaust and the radiator's hot air are directed away from the operator. A wide-angle centre mirror is optional.

Easy servicing

The engine hood opens wide and locks, the floor plate comes off completely, and the filters and radiator are easy to reach and clean. The main hydraulic connections use O-ring face seals and the electrics waterproof connectors; hydraulic and electrical lines run separately for reliability and easier servicing.

Electric forklift RF15E

The Rippa RF15E is an electric forklift with a 1500 kg rated capacity (500 mm load centre) and a lift height of 3000 mm. Its drive and hydraulic motors are AC, powered by a 60 V battery of five maintenance-free 12 V batteries. It runs quietly with no exhaust fumes, and at 2200 mm long without forks and with a 2300 mm turning radius it moves easily through warehouses, production halls and logistics centres. Thickened battery wiring Thicker battery cables cut resistance and energy loss, so current flows more efficiently and the power output stays stable. The cables run cooler, which prevents overheating and extends the life of both the wiring and the battery. Reinforced mast made by Rippa The high-precision reinforced mast, made in Rippa's own factory, is stronger and more stable, so the forklift works reliably even with heavy loads. Loads rise smoothly without swaying, which improves safety and productivity, and branded chains carry more than five times the load and come with third-party test reports. LCD instrument panel The smart display shows the operating parameters in real time – the operator and the service technician see the forklift's status at a glance, and a low-battery warning reminds you to recharge. Cylinders with imported seals The hydraulic cylinders use imported seals that seal well and last long: they stop oil leaks, reduce wear and withstand high pressure, heat and corrosion, so the cylinders keep working reliably even in demanding conditions. All-AC drive The drive and hydraulic motors are AC: there are no brushes to inspect or replace, so maintenance costs less, and compared with DC motors they are more efficient, last longer and run longer on one charge. An electric forklift has fewer moving parts than a diesel or LPG one, and electricity costs less than fuel. Comfort and safety Wide armrests, deep non-slip steps, a thumb-operated direction switch and a power disconnect beside the seat make the work easier, and the steering column tilts. An alarm sounds if the parking brake is not applied, a speed-limiting valve and a shut-off valve protect the hydraulics and the operator, and LED work and warning lights, a seat with a seat belt and puncture-proof solid tyres complete the equipment.

Electric forklift RF20E

The Rippa RF20E is an electric forklift with a 2000 kg rated capacity (500 mm load centre) and a lift height of 3000 mm. Its 4 kW drive and hydraulic motors are AC: brushless, they use less energy and run longer on one charge of the 60 V battery without losing performance. Quiet and free of exhaust fumes, it suits logistics, warehousing and industrial production. Thickened battery wiring Thicker battery cables cut resistance and energy loss, so current flows more efficiently and the power output stays stable. The cables run cooler, which prevents overheating and extends the life of both the wiring and the battery. Mast side rollers The mast uses independent side rollers, so the gap between the mast channels is small: the channels do not wear and the mast does not develop play even after long use. Branded chains carry more than five times the load and come with third-party test reports. LCD instrument panel The smart display shows the battery charge and reminds you to recharge in time, monitors the travel speed to keep the forklift within a safe range, and shows an error code when a fault occurs – troubleshooting is faster and downtime shorter. Cylinders with imported seals The imported cylinder seals withstand high pressure, heat and corrosion, so the cylinders keep working steadily even under intensive use. This lowers maintenance costs and raises the forklift's working capacity in logistics, warehousing and manufacturing. Lower running costs An electric forklift has fewer moving parts than a diesel or LPG one, so it needs fewer repairs and replacement parts. Electricity costs less than fuel, and there is no fuel to store or handle. Comfort and safety Wide armrests, deep non-slip steps, a thumb-operated direction switch and a power disconnect beside the seat make the work easier, and the steering column tilts. An alarm sounds if the parking brake is not applied, a speed-limiting valve and a shut-off valve protect the hydraulics and the operator, and LED work and warning lights, a seat with a seat belt and puncture-proof solid tyres complete the equipment.
