What is a Reach Stacker?
The Reach Stacker is a piece of mobile load shifting, or materials handling equipment that falls under the Australian category of High Risk Work Plant. The machine consists of a mobile platform with either a fixed or variable-position cabin, and a boom; in some ways, a Reach Stacker can be considered a hybrid of a crane and a Container Handling Forklift.
The boom has an attachment commonly referred to as a Top Lift Spreader. This attachment allows the machine to clamp onto shipping containers of variable size, from the top, and lift them from locations such as a truck, rolling stock, ground or container stack, and move the container to an alternative location. Having a boom allows the Reach Stacker to achieve tasks beyond that of a conventional container handling forklift, thereby reducing handling time, cost and equipment efficiency. The Reach Stacker has long been the equipment of choice in all container handling facilities.
