Reachstackers or container handlers have a high lifting capacity. They are designed to work with filled containers and are widely used in warehouses and logistics centers, ports and freight railway stations.
It is noteworthy that in the latter case, the loader, standing on the platform between the two tracks, is able to work with vehicles from both sides.
Reachstackers are characterized by equipment special kinds attachments that increase efficiency and expand the capabilities of special equipment. Among such attachments - Various types spreaders (devices for capturing containers with special latches) and powerful magnets for loading steel slabs. Due to more powerful features Compared to other types of loaders, reachstackers are also more expensive.
In the range of container loaders, there are also low-power models with a load capacity of up to 10 tons, however, heavy machines capable of lifting up to 30-40 tons or more are most in demand, because they can replace many types of lifting equipment and surpass most of them in terms of functionality. Among the most popular and frequently encountered manufacturers and models of reachstackers, it is worth noting companies that are unique in their kind.
In 1997, production completely switched from the production of electromechanical equipment to reachstackers with a more powerful and advanced hydraulic system. The brand is characterized own production the most important nodes manufactured special equipment (bridges, cabins, booms, hydraulic cylinders, frames and partly electronic control systems).
The company produces 13 types of container loaders in various weight categories (from 10 to 40 tons). Feature– equipment of machines big amount attachments, which is more typical for large machines(42 and 45 tons). If reachstackers for empty containers usually have only one spreader with a large angle of rotation, and intermodal machines (RS) series are equipped with two types of spreaders - for semi-trailers and for containers, then the so-called multistackers MULTIStacker and COILStacker (machines capable of working with full , and with empty containers) have full set: long length grab, grapple, vacuum tube grab, magnet, bobbin hook, forks, piggy-back grab.
Linde
The company followed the path of unification of all production line. The lineup has 14 positions and is conditionally divided into two groups - container loaders equipped with a spreader (C 4026...C 4531CH) and intermodal type reach stackers with a universal grip.
SMV
A distinctive feature of the production of this Swedish company is the complete absence of claims for cracks in the chassis frames, which is traditionally weak point container loaders. The frame of this brand is made according to unique technology- from a box-shaped welded profile with reinforcement of the lower and upper surfaces. In addition, SMV is the first warehouse equipment manufacturer to introduce axial piston pumps.
The development of the Kalmar concern is interesting, the products of which are widely presented on domestic market. Relatively recently, it included the Finnish production sites Valmet and Sisu. This merger was the start for the production of a rich range of high-quality loading equipment. Thus, the Sisu container loader served as the basis for the creation of the ContMaster series of standardized reachstackers. After the improvement, the machines received more opportunities. Today, the Kalmar DRS4527-S5 and DRS4531-S5 container handlers from this series are in great demand as low-maintenance units with a load capacity of up to 45 tons.
When choosing container loaders, you should pay attention to the specifics of its work. Reachstackers are available for both empty and filled containers, as well as universal models. Thus, the Linde C90/5 container loader with a diesel engine has a load capacity of 9 tons and is designed specifically for handling empty containers at cargo terminals and ports. Lifting height of Linde C90/5 containers is 12.67 meters, while container handlers of this type are capable of stacking empty containers in 5-7 rows. loader in basic configuration is equipped with the only type of attachment - a special grab for containers and has a relatively small cost- about 2 million rubles.
Kalmar has been in business for over a hundred years. Today Kalmar- major manufacturer loaders and warehouse equipment, which is part of the Cargotek concern, which sells its products in 140 countries.
