The RTFL Range listed here delivers 55 kW and a maximum torque of 440 Nm. Drive is available as 2WD or 4WD, with all-wheel drive improving traction on loose or uneven ground.
Rough terrain forklifts of this type work on building sites, on farms and in recycling, where unpaved ground, slopes and potholes rule out classic counterbalance trucks on solid rubber tyres. Large, chunky-tread tyres and a rugged chassis with high ground clearance are typical of the type, as is a diesel engine that stays available without depending on a socket or charging point.
When buying used, check the condition of the drive axles and propshafts, especially on 4WD versions, since field and gravel work strains the joints more than a warehouse floor. Inspect tyre tread and rims for stone damage, the lift frame for distortion, and the hydraulic hoses for chafing. Engine hours and service records for the engine and axles give further indication of how hard the machine has been worked over its life.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
