1.1 What is a Reach Stacker?
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.
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.
