Introduction to Reach Stackers

Key Tips for Working with a Reach Stacker

Always check the fuel level before starting the machine.
Never exceed the rated lifting capacity of the reach stacker.
Ensure regular maintenance and scheduled servicing of the machine.
Do not move the machine when the spreader is fully extended.
Before any loading operation, the operator must verify the proper functioning of the brake system.
No one should stand on the steps or exterior of the equipment during operation.
Designate specific traffic routes for trucks, forklifts, and reach stackers to enhance safety.
Follow proper storage standards for container stacking; containers with chemicals should be kept in separate areas, and liquid-containing containers should always be stacked in a single layer only.
For heavy or tall containers, use a metal frame to safely handle and transport them.
Operate with care and patience in ports and docks; rushing container handling can lead to costly damages throughout the operation.

What is a Reach Stacker?
A Reach Stacker is a specialized industrial machine designed for handling containers, primarily used in container terminals and ports for unloading, loading, and moving containers. In comparison to forklifts, reach stackers can easily access greater heights when it comes to container handling. These machines are known for their high efficiency and speed in transport operations.

Most modern reach stackers have a variable load capacity, typically ranging from 45 to 50 tons. They are powered by diesel engines, usually equipped with 6 cylinders, and can lift cargo to heights of around 5 meters. The diesel engines used in reach stackers ensure high operational efficiency, reduced fuel consumption, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Operating a reach stacker requires skilled and attentive operators. Whether handling empty or fully loaded containers, the task demands precision—minor mistakes can easily result in workplace accidents and significant damage to both equipment and cargo.

Introduction to Port Terminal Tractors

Introduction to Port Terminal Tractors

Port Terminal Tractors
Port terminal tractors (also known as terminal tractors or yard trucks) are specialized machines designed for efficiently moving trailers and platform trucks that carry cargo between docks and storage areas within port facilities. Depending on operational requirements, these tractors are available in both electric and diesel-powered models.

A Brief History
The first port terminal tractor was produced by Kalmar in 1958. Since then, Kalmar has delivered over 70,000 terminal tractors worldwide, securing its role as a pioneer and global leader in the terminal tractor industry.

Features & Capabilities
Port terminal tractors offer powerful performance and heavy-duty capabilities. For example, a single terminal tractor connected to a 65-ton trailer can carry either two 20-foot containers or one 40-foot container simultaneously.

To maintain safety within port areas, the maximum permitted speed for these vehicles is typically restricted to 60 km/h.

Key Differences: Port Tractors vs. Road Tractors

Compact Size and Greater Maneuverability: Port tractors are more compact than road tractors, making them highly maneuverable in the limited and busy spaces of port environments.
Simpler Design: The engines, transmissions, and other components in port tractors are designed for simplicity, which significantly reduces the need for maintenance compared to traditional road tractors.
Lower Maintenance Costs: Due to their robust and straightforward construction, port tractors are less costly to repair and maintain than road-going tractors.
Longer Service Life in Ports: While road tractors used in port operations may last around 4 to 5 years, purpose-built port tractors can operate under similar conditions for 10 to 20 years.

Key Manufacturers of Port Terminal Tractors Engines Some of the world’s leading engine manufacturers for terminal tractors include:

Volvo
Mercedes-Benz
Cummins

Transmissions Globally acclaimed transmission suppliers include:

ZF
Allison

Electric Forklift Evolution and the Power Behind the Super Model

The Super Model Forklift have many advantage:

Super fast charging (1C rate), which mean it only take 30mins can charge the forklift from 20% to 80%. So in the morning you use the Super Model Forklift for 4hours, during the lunch break or coffee break, you charge it for 15-30mins, the whole afternoon you can use the Super Model Forklift again.

2) The 3main components of electric forklift (controller, motor, battery) we use same level as electric car(IP67), so the Super Model Forklift can work for all weather conditions(especially the 4 typical tough conditions) :

-Extremely cold (-30℃ )

-Extremely hot (+60℃ )

-Heavy dust(+4mg/m³)

-High altitude(+5000m)

3) The performance of the Super Model Forklift is even better than diesel forklift. Not only for drive speed and lifting speed. The Super Model Forklift is much more strong power than diesel forklift,so the Super Model Forklift can work very efficiently. The dashboard have 3 drive mode for you to choose:

-“ECO” mode(similar like the 80V lithium forklift)

-“Normal’ mode(same as diesel forklift)

-“Sport” mode(better than diesel forklift)

4)The warranty for the Super Model Forklift’s battery is 8years and sharing CATL’s global service network.

5) The Super Model Forklift have telematics function. It’s very good for renting business. If you have your renting fleeting. You can control all the forklift by the computer in your office.
