Equipment Description
This 2009 Rigger Lift R90 is an exceptionally low hour heavy capacity forklift built for demanding machinery moving and rigging applications. With only 750 original hours, this R90 offers an opportunity to purchase a proven machinery moving forklift with very little use for its age. The Riggerlift R90 is designed for applications where conventional forklifts may not provide the capacity, stability, or configuration required to handle extremely heavy industrial equipment. Machinery movers, rigging contractors, millwrights, and industrial companies can use machines like the R90 for moving presses, CNC machinery, transformers, generators, injection molding machines, and other heavy equipment. What makes this particular R90 especially unique is its five counterweight plate configuration. Five Counterweight Configuration A standard Riggerlift R90 is configured with four counterweight plates. This truck is equipped with five 8,500 lb counterweight plates, providing additional counterweight and significantly increasing its lifting capacity. With the standard four counterweight configuration, the R90 is rated at approximately 90,000 lbs at a 24 inch load center. According to the Rigger Lift capacity information for the five counterweight configuration, installing all five plates increases capacity to 105,120 lbs at a 24 inch load center. The additional counterweight continues to provide increased capacity as the load center moves farther forward. Five plate rated capacities include: 105,120 lbs at 24 inch load center 95,565 lbs at 30 inch load center 87,600 lbs at 36 inch load center 80,860 lbs at 42 inch load center 75,085 lbs at 48 inch load center 70,080 lbs at 54 inch load center 65,700 lbs at 60 inch load center 58,400 lbs at 72 inch load center For machinery movers handling loads with larger dimensions and extended load centers, that additional capacity can be especially valuable. Only 750 Original Hours Another major advantage of this used Riggerlift R90 is the hours. The truck has only 750 original hours, which is exceptionally low for a 2009 machine. For buyers looking for a used heavy capacity rigging forklift, hours and overall condition can make a significant difference. This truck provides an opportunity to add an R90 to your fleet without purchasing a machine that has accumulated thousands of operating hours over its service life. GM 7.4L V8 LP Engine Power comes from a GM 7.4L V8 LP engine, providing the power needed for demanding heavy capacity applications. The truck runs on LP fuel and is equipped with solid cushion tires, making it well suited for industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and machinery moving applications where these large capacity forklifts are commonly used. Hydraulic Boom and 96 Inch Forks This Riggerlift R90 includes both 96 inch forks and a hydraulic boom with boom stand. The hydraulic boom gives machinery movers and rigging contractors additional versatility when handling loads that cannot be effectively picked with conventional forks. Having both forks and a boom allows the machine to be configured for a wide range of heavy equipment handling applications. The mast has a 118 inch lowered height and 100 inch lift height.

The R90 rough terrain forklift from Rigger Lift has really impressed me during a recent project at a construction site. It’s so sturdy and powerful, making it perfect for navigating those tricky, uneven grounds. I remember trying to maneuver a heavy load up a steep incline, and this machine handled it like a champ—plenty of grip and stability. It’s not just about raw power; the visibility while operating is solid too, which really adds to the overall experience and safety. Definitely a reliable choice for anyone needing a tough forklift that doesn’t shy away from the rough stuff.
