Konecranes has launched its first electric reach stacker at the TOC Asia exhibition in Singapore, bolstering its portfolio of low- to zero-tailpipe-emission port equipment to meet increasing demand from port customers.
The company also announced full global access for its Remote Services, enabling customers to improve operational efficiency and reduce downtime without the need for on-site personnel.
The electric reach stacker will be available for the APAC, Middle East and Africa, and South American markets. A high-performance electric drive train using high-energy Li-Ion batteries with a working time of up to 16 hours enables the lifting and transporting of cargo containers without compromising productivity.
Konecranes has also extended Remote Services to cover the APAC region, meaning this comprehensive service is now globally available for customers. Immediate troubleshooting starts with first contact, followed by expert guidance for on-site diagnostics. Terminal operators in Southeast Asia and in Europe have relied on Remote Services to enhance their operational efficiency.
Andreas Falk, SVP Lift Trucks at Konecranes, said: “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.”

Nico Zamzow, SVP Port Services at Konecranes, stated: “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 maximise uptime, digitalisation becomes essential. This expansion reinforces our commitment to scalable, data-driven solutions that help terminals operate more efficiently and sustainably.”
Earlier this month, Konecranes signed a comprehensive four-year service agreement with Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland to maintain and optimise around 200 cranes.
