Hyster Europe develops solutions to handle containers in the second rail position

Hyster Europe has developed new solutions to help terminals handle containers on railroad cars in the second rail position with the aim to reduce damage and improve efficiency.

One of the options Hyster Europe has developed is a hinged elevating operator cabin, available on the Hyster RS46 reachstacker, to help operators have direct visibility of the top corner pockets on second rail containers.

This is designed to improve upon limitations which occur through the use of cameras or staff (spotters) to direct the operator, saving time and lowering cost per container moved.
