Texas-based Morris Export Services has acquired the first LiuGong 2450H reachstacker in North America, marking the debut of LiuGong's heavy machinery in the region.

Morris Export Services says a key factor in their choice of LiuGong machine was a previous positive experience with Cummins engines.

"Partnering with a company known for dependable engines, like Cummins, is crucial for our continued growth," says Andrew Talley, co-owner at Morris Export Services.

Talley says the LiuGong Reach Stacker, equipped with the powerful Cummins X12 engine, as a key step in enhancing productivity and fuelling his company’s future expansion.

The 45 T LiuGong 2450H Reach Stacker is designed for efficient container handling in port operations. 

A zero-emissions electric version of the reach stacker is set to be released in 2025.

"This machine is built to last," says Jared Ward, vice president of material handling for LiuGong North America. 

"With its proven performance record overseas, we wouldn't be surprised to see LiuGong reach stackers become a common sight at major U.S. ports in the coming years."

Ranger Lift Trucks, the dealer that facilitated the sale, is poised to lead North American distribution of the reachstacker.
