Konecranes has expanded its Ecolifting™ portfolio with the launch of its first electric reach stacker, unveiled at the TOC Asia exhibition in Singapore. The new equipment strengthens the company’s range of low- to zero-tailpipe-emission solutions, supporting ports as they accelerate electrification and decarbonization efforts.
Designed for high performance without compromising productivity, the electric reach stacker is powered by a high-energy lithium-ion battery system that delivers up to 16 hours of operating time. From launch, the solution will be available across the APAC, Middle East and Africa, and South American markets, addressing growing customer demand for cleaner and more efficient port operations.
In parallel with the product launch, Konecranes announced the global rollout of its Remote Services offering, now extended to the APAC region. The service enables real-time troubleshooting and expert support without the need for on-site personnel, helping terminal operators reduce downtime, improve efficiency, and enhance equipment availability. Ports in Southeast Asia and Europe have already used Remote Services to optimize operations and increase uptime.
According to Andreas Falk, SVP Lift Trucks at Konecranes, the electric reach stacker completes a fully electrified lift truck portfolio capable of supporting a wide range of operating environments, from ports to steel mills, and from single-shift use to continuous 24/7 operations. Nico Zamzow, SVP Port Services, added that the global expansion of Remote Services is a strategic move to deliver scalable, data-driven support as ports focus on emission reduction and operational resilience.
Throughout 2025, Konecranes has introduced multiple innovations aimed at helping ports remain competitive, including hydrogen fuel cell straddle carriers, E-Hybrid RTGs, and electric empty container handlers. Together, these solutions reflect Konecranes’ Ecolifting™ vision—growing its positive environmental impact while reducing customers’ carbon footprints through electrification, hybridization, and digitalization.
