A reach stacker is a powerful, specialized vehicle with a telescopic boom used in ports, rail terminals, and logistics hubs to transport, load, and stack intermodal cargo containers.
What is a Reach Stacker?
A reach stacker is a heavy-duty, mobile industrial vehicle used primarily in ports, container yards, rail terminals, and logistics hubs to lift, transport, and stack intermodal shipping containers. Unlike standard forklifts, reach stackers feature a telescopic hydraulic boom that extends forward and upward, allowing them to access multiple rows deep and stack containers exceptionally high.
Key Functions & Advantages
Multi-Row Access: The telescopic boom allows operators to reach past the first row of containers to grab boxes from the second, third, or even fourth row deep.
High-Density Stacking: They can vertically stack containers 4 to 5 levels high, maximizing vertical space in crowded yards
Operational Flexibility : They handle standard ISO containers (20 to 40 feet), reefer units, tank containers, and flat racks using an adjustable spreader.
Speed and Mobility: Reach stackers can transport containers short distances quickly, shifting cargo between trucks, railcars, and storage blocks far faster than gantry cranes.
