42 kW Yunnei Diesel
A Yunnei diesel delivers 42 kW at 2 400 rpm through an automatic transmission, so operators simply drive and lift. A top speed of 30 km/h moves loads quickly across big yards.
4WD With 10-16.5 Tyres
Four-wheel drive on deep-lug 10-16.5 tyres and 1 650 kg of drawbar pull keep the RS35Q moving on gravel, dirt and grass, and it climbs gradients of up to 25%.
Compact 1 520 mm Width
At 1 520 mm wide with a 3 470 mm turning radius, the RS35Q gets into tight yards, sheds and aisles, and the open overhead guard gives the operator a clear view all round.
