Four models of the new Terex® Stackace™ empty container handler will follow in the spring. The common feature of all these machines: they combine the strengths of their respective predecessors – and the two legacy Terex brands PPM and Fantuzzi – with many innovations. The machines are cost-effective, service-friendly and ergonomic. They offer low fuel consumption and wear, easy access to maintenance points, and cabs with an ergonomic design.
The new Terex lift trucks help terminal operators facing stiff competition to handle containers even more cost-effectively than before. Klaus Peter Hoffmann, Vice President & Managing Director TPS: “The mixture of competitive operating costs, ease of maintenance and convenience at the man/machine interface makes the new machines efficient overall packages.” Hoffmann continues: “All Terex lift trucks are being developed by international teams. In this way, the combined expertise of TPS is being incorporated into the new machines. The first example of this is the newly launched Liftace 5-31 reach stacker.”
With a wheelbase of 6,200 mm the Liftace 5-31 reach stacker can stack up to five high-cube (9’6”) containers in the first row. In addition to the Liftace-typical 45 t in the first row, the maximum load capacity is 31 t in the second row and 15 t in the third row. The robust design of the new handling machine is demonstrated, by its advanced boom design, among other features. Thanks to improved inherent rigidity and increased radius, it permits more accurate and faster operation.
