Konecranes unveils new electric reach stacker and expands global Remote Services coverage

Konecranes has expanded its Ecolifting™ portfolio with the introduction of an electric reach stacker, launched at the TOC Asia exhibition in Singapore. The equipment marks the latest addition to the company’s low- and zero-emission solutions aimed at supporting ports in their shift toward electrified operations.

Key highlights

• First electric reach stacker introduced for APAC, Middle East and Africa, and South America
• Features a high-energy Li-ion battery system with up to 16 hours of operating time
• Remote Services now available globally, including newly added APAC coverage
• Part of Konecranes’ wider Ecolifting™ strategy promoting low-emission port equipment

New electric reach stacker targets port electrification trends

The new electric reach stacker uses a high-performance electric drivetrain powered by high-energy lithium-ion batteries. According to Konecranes, the unit is designed to handle container lifting and transport operations without reducing operational output.

“We are committed to innovating and producing the best lift trucks and solutions for our customers across the world. I’m pleased to say that with the new electric reach stacker we have a portfolio of fully electrified lift trucks that can help our customers improve their operations, whether they’re in ports or steel mills, or if they’re working one shift or 24/7 operations,” said Andreas Falk, Senior Vice President, Lift Trucks at Konecranes.

Remote Services gain full global access

Konecranes also confirmed the global rollout of its Remote Services platform, extending coverage to the APAC region. The service provides direct troubleshooting support upon first contact and expert guidance for on-site diagnostics. Operators in Europe and Southeast Asia have previously used the system to improve equipment uptime and operational visibility.

“Bringing Remote Services to the APAC region marks a strategic step in delivering real-time, expert support to our global customers. As ports work to reduce emissions and maximize uptime, digitalization becomes essential. This expansion reinforces our commitment to scalable, data-driven solutions that help terminals operate more efficiently and sustainably,” said Nico Zamzow, Senior Vice President, Port Services at Konecranes.

Part of broader Ecolifting™ strategy

The launch follows several other electrification and hybrid technology announcements from Konecranes in 2025, including the Noell Hydrogen Fuel Cell Straddle Carrier, the E-Hybrid RTG and the electric empty container handler. The portfolio reflects the company’s approach to offering low- to zero-tailpipe-emission equipment for a range of port operations.

These initiatives fall under the Ecolifting™ program, which focuses on reducing carbon emissions across customer operations while increasing efficiency. The approach includes eco-optimized diesel systems, hybrid configurations and fully electric fleets.
