Heavy lift. Zero drama. The Spyder RTXL Series is our big-chassis rough-terrain line—diesel power with full-time 4WD and high-flotation pneumatic tires. Built to move 17,500–22,000 lb confidently across gravel, mud, and uneven worksites.
When the loads get serious and the ground gets ugly, you want a forklift that doesn’t flinch. The Spyder RTXL Series is a purpose-built, heavy-duty rough-terrain platform pairing high-torque diesel power with standard 4WD, increased ground clearance, and reinforced mast/carriage structures. From oversized pallets and bundled steel to jobsite modules and precast, RTXL delivers stable handling, precise hydraulics, and confident traction where yard trucks bog down.
The big-frame chassis and rough-terrain pneumatic tires absorb ruts, potholes, and crowned access roads while protecting your load and operators. Choose capacities from 17,500 to 22,000 lb, match your lift heights with 2-stage or 3-stage masts, and spec side shift and attachment packages for coils, long lumber, pipe, stone, or fabrication. Designed for a low cost of ownership, RTXL keeps systems straightforward and service points wide open—daily checks are fast, parts are common-sense and available, and cooling/driveline components are built for continuous duty. With Spyder dealer support across Canada and the USA, you get uptime you can plan around.
