A reach stacker is a vehicle used for handling intermodal cargo containers in small terminals or medium-sized ports. Reach stackers are able to transport a container short distances very quickly and pile them in various rows depending on its access.
Double Reach Truck (RD) The RD Series is a narrow-aisle rider reach truck with deep reach forks that allow the truck to deposit or retrieve pallets that are positioned in the rack two deep. Power (Electric) 36 V. 56.48 - 62.85 in. Deep-Reach forklift trucks save two out of five aisles versus single deep storage, allowing double-deep pallet storage in the racks for increased storage density. Raymond double deep reach forklifts are available with your choice of compartment configuration — Universal Stance, sidestance reach truck or sit-down reach truck. A forklift (also called lift truck, jitney, fork truck, fork hoist, and forklift truck) is a powered industrial truck used to lift and move materials over short distances. The forklift was developed in the early 20th century by various companies, including Clark, which made transmissions, and Yale & Towne Manufacturing, which made hois.
Reach stackers have gained ground in container handling in most markets because of their flexibility and higher stacking and storage capacity when compared to forklift trucks. Using reach stackers, container blocks can be kept 4-deep due to second row access.
There are also empty stackers or empty container handlers that are used only for handling empty containers quickly and efficiently.[1]
