A compact overview for the Still RX50: more than 20 parts that fit this electric forklift, from lighting and electrics to seats and accessories.
On an electric Still RX50, the replacement jobs that come up again and again involve lamps, seat cushions and the switches the operator uses every shift. This page lists more than 20 parts that fit the RX50, from GRANIT, GRAMMER, HELLA, Philips and BOSCH.
Spotlight work lamps throw light well ahead of the forks, while MasterDuty halogen bulbs, a small spherical bulb and an LED rear light cover the rest. A beacon and a blue Blue Spot warning light help pedestrians notice the truck in time. A metal bracket wiper blade and black mirrors keep your own view clear.
Never touch the glass of a new halogen bulb with bare fingers. Skin oil leaves a spot that runs hotter than the rest of the glass and shortens the life of the bulb, or even cracks it. Hold it by the base or use a clean cloth, and if a fingerprint does get on it, wipe it off with a little methylated spirit before fitting. Switch the lamp off and let it cool before you reach in, as a halogen bulb stays very hot for a while.
Seat cushions, back cushions and lap belts can be swapped individually, with a complete forklift seat for when the base is worn out too. An ignition lock, start switches and a rubber cap take care of the controls.
The data plate tells you the truck is an RX50. For bulbs, read the base type and the marking on the old one. For cushions, the label on the seat shows the seat series, such as MSG 83, which decides the fit. For an ignition lock or switch, go by the number on the part you remove. With that information you can compare against the description on the product page.
Mount a beacon where it can be seen from every side and cannot catch the mast or a racking beam. Check afterwards that the base is firmly fixed, since vibration from floor joints soon finishes off a loose lamp. An ignition lock that turns stiffly or catches the key is better replaced in good time than sprayed with oil, which binds dust and makes the lock stiffer in the end. For a start switch, match the mounting hole diameter and the number of terminals so it drops into the existing opening.
The Still parts overview gathers parts for the other trucks from this maker, worth a look if the RX50 is not the only Still on site.
