Reach stacker
open-in-new
<p>A reach stacker is a vehicle used for handling <a href="/facts/Intermodal_containers/797lTKzR">intermodal cargo containers</a> in small terminals or medium-sized ports. Reach stackers can transport a container short distances very quickly and pile them in various rows depending on their access. </p><p>Reach stackers have gained ground in container handling in most markets because of their flexibility and higher stacking and storage capacity when compared to <a href="/facts/Forklift/CJ56KPwX">forklifts</a>. Using reach stackers, container blocks can be kept 4-deep due to second-row access. </p><p>There are also empty stackers or empty container handlers that are used only for handling empty containers quickly and efficiently. </p>
