    What are reach stackers and container forklifts?

    Reach stackers are industrial trucks used to transport and store cargo containers at ports and terminals in an efficient way. They offer a very flexible solution and an inexpensive alternative to costly gantry cranes and straddle carriers. Reach stackers are versatile vehicles delivering high performance and robustness. Their efficiency is determined by different factors, i.e. lifting speed, lifting load or being user-friendly.

    Stacker vehicles can be found at port locations where they are used for lifting and transporting containers. These manual-operated trucks can carry cargo as heavy as 50 tons and stack several containers high. They are able to transport loads quickly over short distances and are most effective at medium-sized ports or terminals.

    Stackers became an indispensable part of international freight transport. A large number of lifting operations can be carried out while stationary, which is a particular advantage when space is tight at the transshipment point.

    Like reach stackers, container forklifts are handling machines used to stack containers mainly in ports around the world. They can also be used for large logistics and/or warehousing platforms. The difference between reach trucks and container trucks lies in the mast size.

    The structure of a reach stacker

    Reachstacker solutions have long lifting booms which can pick up containers and raise them as high as several containers. Powered by hydraulics, the boom attaches to containers using rotating twistlocks. At the base, the operator controls the vehicle in a cab.
