A kind of vehicle which is meant to move containerized cargo in small and mediumsized terminals and ports is known as a reach stacker. Reach stackers are truly perfect for quickly shuttling containers short distances and piling them in rows.
Because of their flexibility, reach stackers are a common choice for handling intermodal cargo containers. They are capable of stacking higher than forklift trucks. With a reach stacker capable of second row access, container blocks could be kept four-deep.
Designed only to handle empty containers is a different kind of stacker.
Kinds of Forklift Reach
The forklift reach is a kind of forklift usually used on construction environments. It is equipped with a boom and really big tires that provide great stability on uneven terrain. The forklift reach is available in the following variations:
The Stand-Up Reach has a narrow width that makes it appropriate for racked pallet storage.
The straddle Reach has hydraulic-like scissors attachments and outriggers attached at the front.
To enable the storage of pallets in double-deep racks, the Double-Deep reach is outfitted with an extended reach mechanism.
