Meclift Variable Reach Trucks

Due to their compact design, the Meclift Variable Reach Trucks offer new possibilities for loading and unloading containers. They can be driven into standard containers, and their reach feature enables them to operate in conditions that would be impossible for straight-mast trucks. For example, steel coils are loaded for container transportation using a 16-tonne machine, which can carry up to 25-tonne loads into a container. Our 30-tonne variable reach truck has proven its excellence in stone handling both inside ships and on the quayside.

Side Reach Trucks

The versatile Side Reach Stacker replaces the conventional method of using many different machines to handle and carry loads. The Side Reach Stacker handles and carries freight containers and other loads in a longitudinal direction enabling a higher transport speed and more efficient performance. Thanks to its low centre of gravity the ML 5016SR can handle loads up to 42.5 tonnes under the toplift spreader at a load distance of 5.25 feet, and 30.5 tonnes without using support legs. The Side Reach Stacker can lift a container, two coupled containers or heavy loads on its frame, move the load at a speed of 18 mph, as well as unload and stack containers up to four high.
