Hybrid reachstacker in operation at Duisburg

Duisburg Intermodal Terminal (DIT) has put a hybrid reachstacker from Konecranes into operation, the second of its kind worldwide.

The first was the prototype which has been operating in Helsingborg for four years while a third will shortly be delivered to the Contargo Terminal in Emmelsum.

The heavy-load stacker has a lifting capacity of 45 tonnes and consumes at least 30% less fuel than a comparable diesel-driven model in normal operation.
