Liebherr Group is turning heads with the addition of a reach stacker featuring a unique curved boom.
The LRS 645 is designed to lift 45-tonne containers up six containers high in the first row.
Liebherr says the curved design of the telescopic boom provides extra stacking space.
"In 3-high by 3-wide block stacks, the top tier of the third row can be removed without moving the top tiers in the first and second rows," the company said.
Another advantage of the curved design was that the LRS 645 was able to load and unload containers from and to below ground level, without modification.
The LRS 645 runs a 270kW, six-cylinder Liebherr diesel engine through a fully hydrostatic transmission.
