Konecranes Reach Stackers Tailor-Made for Variety of Industry Applications

The latest generation of Konecranes’ (Springfield, Ohio, USA) reach stackers was designed based on many years of development work and close partnerships with customers, the company notes. These lift trucks utilize a fuel-efficient engine that delivers high torque even at low rpm. Reach stackers also are equipped with a variety of new technology features such as a load-sensing hydraulic system with variable piston pumps. This system ensures an optimum balance between engine power and hydraulic demand for any given lift.

One of the key strengths of the large reach stackers from Konecranes is the design of the operator’s cab. Each cab is built ergonomically so that the operator can easily reach all of the controls and check all functions at a glance. As a result, the operator not only enjoys increased visibility and comfort, he or she also is able to concentrate on goods and handling, therefore working more efficiently.

Each reach stacker is constructed from carefully selected components to match the specific needs of a given application, the company points out. These machines can be found across a wide breadth of industries, including pulp and paper.

In addition to creating unique solutions for individual customers, Konecranes offers some machines that are unique to the industry at large. The 45/43 TBX5 features modified front feet that allow it to carry heavy and large loads, while still maintaining efficiency and performance.
