Performance & Efficiency

With 52.72 kW of net power and a 952.55 kg lifting capacity, the RT210 is suited to pallets, general bucket work, cleanup, and routine contractor loading.

Maintenance & Ownership

The turbocharged Yanmar 4TNV98-XNMS is a known engine platform, and the overall package looks geared toward straightforward daily ownership. With a 92.35 L fuel tank and a practical layout, the RT210 makes sense for contractors who want a modern CTL that can work consistently without pretending to be a specialized high-output unit.
