Konecranes has expanded its Ecolifting™ portfolio with the launch of its first electric reach stacker, introduced today at the TOC Asia exhibition in Singapore. The debut marks a significant step in the company’s strategy to meet rising demand for low- and zero-emission equipment across the global port industry.

The new electric reach stacker will initially be available in the APAC, Middle East and Africa, and South American markets. Powered by a high-performance electric drivetrain and high-energy lithium-ion batteries, the machine offers up to 16 hours of operating time, enabling container lifting and transport without sacrificing productivity.

Andreas Falk, SVP Lift Trucks at Konecranes, says: “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.”

Alongside the product launch, Konecranes announced the global availability of its Remote Services offering, now expanded to the APAC region. The service provides immediate remote troubleshooting and expert guidance for on-site diagnostics, helping port operators reduce downtime and improve efficiency. Ports in Southeast Asia and Europe have already been using the system to support daily operations.

The electric reach stacker follows several other major technology introductions from Konecranes throughout 2025. Recent launches include the Konecranes Noell Hydrogen Fuel Cell Straddle Carrier, the E-Hybrid RTG, and an electric empty container handler — all designed to help ports transition to cleaner and more sustainable operations.

Nico Zamzow, SVP Port Services at Konecranes, says: “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.”

These advancements form part of Konecranes’ Ecolifting™ initiative, which aims to increase the company’s environmental “handprint” by enabling customers to reduce their carbon footprints through eco-optimized, hybrid, and fully electric equipment.

Konecranes says its continued investment in digitalization, technology, and solutions that support decarbonization and circularity underscores its commitment to helping ports operate more safely, efficiently, and sustainably.
