Zero-emission Container Handlers and ReachStackers ideal for use in ports and terminals
About
Hyster is developing an electric ReachStacker and Container Handlers featuring hydrogen fuel cells. Hyster electric ReachStacker aim is to support continuous operations and achieve comparable, or better, full shift performance to a conventional IC ReachStacker.”
Key Benefits
The accuracy and control of the lift and drive is even better than the IC models, giving handling precision that we expect can only increase productivity further.” Noise levels are lower, and users can expect a reduction in energy costs. Hyster also expects reduced vehicle maintenance costs thanks to the elimination of the engine, transmission and other mechanical-driven components with potential return on investment achieved after 3 to 4 years when compared to IC models. The three projects are in association with several partners and has support from funds including the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCHJU) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) which is partially funded by California Climate Investments (CCI), a state wide program that puts billions of cap-and-trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy and improving public health and the environment, particularly in disadvantaged communities.
