Powered by Konecranes

Starting from the Konecranes reach stacker SMV 4545, our Nordic partner NC Nielsen has developed a heavyweight champion from which shipping companies, supply bases, harbour terminals and wind turbine producers can benefit from.

With a net weight of 110 tons, a width of 4.9 metres and a length with the boom down of 15 metres, this giant reach stacker can lift 152 tons from its hook.

A reinforced boom, increased counterweight, larger lifting cylinders are just few of the reconfigured parts that allow this equipment to lift and move items from a location to another, safely, efficiently and with easy manoeuvrability.
