Konecranes has launched a new electric reach stacker. It has been designed for high-intensity operations and offers up to 16 hours of working time on a single charge.
Launched in Shanghai, China, this new product is being made available across the Asia-Pacific region, along with the Mid-East, Africa and Latin America. There will be further roll-outs across Europe and North America during 2026.
With a portfolio of fully electric lift trucks now available, Andreas Falk, Senior Vice President, Lift Trucks, Konecranes, elaborates: “Our focus remains on delivering lift truck solutions that drive efficiency for customers worldwide. With the introduction of the electric reach stacker, we now offer a comprehensive range of fully electrified lift trucks designed to optimise operations regardless of the location or handling need.”
Konecranes also points to the importance of the 16 hours of operations making the new unit a more attractive option, with the fast-charging capability meaning that a full charge is gained in just 1-3 hours, depending on battery size and charging power. Other key features include advanced safety systems, intelligent controls and durable mechanics.
With a short wheelbase and compact dimensions, the new electric machine is easier to manoeuvre, while accommodating high lifting capacities across all three container handling rows by offering stacking heights of 5/5-high or 6/5-high at 8’6” / 9’6” containers.
The new Konecranes electric reach stacker also uses TRUCONNECT® to collect real-time data, including battery charge monitoring, energy consumption, the amount of energy recovered from braking, as well as alarms, alerts and other diagnostics. All this data transmits securely to the KONECRANES customer portal to monitor and control the truck’s operational efficiency, productivity, safety and environmental impact.
