Rocla Oyj has introduced the SSTac stacker and PL10ac order picker to replace old models SST and PL.

Rocla spokesperson Jukka Oksanen says all the technology inside the machines has been changed.

"Now we have new drive motors and new controllers, giving drivers better control of the machine. Personal settings are also possible under the PIN code, standard in each machine."

The colour scheme of the stacker has changed - the chassis is black and the side panels orange. It has also been updated with the Rocla Integral mast, stiffer than traditional masts.

The forklifts are available globally.

The spreader can perform a variety of lifts compliant with the twistlock positioning of ISO and US domestic containers and side pin lift containers.

"More and more North American intermodal terminal operators are recognising the benefits reach stackers offer over traditional forklifts," says Kalmar Americas vice president of the port division, Mikko Vuojolainen, adding that reach stackers are fast and flexible machines.

The new spreader will be distributed in the USA and Canada.
