Hyster Supplies Battery Electric ReachStacker to Inland Terminals Group in the Netherlands
Hyster, together with Inland Terminals Group and authorized Hyster® dealer Heffiq, recently announced the deployment of a battery electric ReachStacker at Terminal ITG Venray-Wanssum, in the Netherlands. Inland Terminals Group (ITG) began using the Hyster® RSJ46-33XDL battery-powered electric ReachStacker in August 2026, marking the beginning of a 24-month field development period to help further validate and refine the technology in real-world terminal operations. This battery-powered ReachStacker builds on the development of other Hyster electric container handlers and uses many common systems from previous projects, including the battery electric empty container handler pilot at Malta Freeport Terminals. The electric ReachStacker is powered by four 130-kW lithium-ion battery packs capable of supporting a full 8-h shift. Two battery packs are placed on either side of the truck, and the full solution can be charged from 20% to 80% in approximately 4.5 h when using the right charger. Shared software across Hyster electric lift trucks supports common displays, operator interfaces, service tools and diagnostics. ITG has an established track record of successful sustainability initiatives. The company was the first inland terminal operator in the Netherlands and Belgium to earn a third Lean & Green Star – a certification recognizing results in reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
Heffiq will handle all conventional maintenance requests and serve as the first line of response for service just as they would other Hyster equipment, with factory support available for high-voltage systems. “The various terminals across the Netherlands and Belgium operated by the ITG have been valued Heffiq customers for several decades,” said Martijn Veerkamp, Commercial director, Heffiq. “Sustainability is a key priority for both ITG and Heffiq. It is therefore fantastic to mark our strategic partnership with the delivery of their first battery electric Hyster ReachStacker. This is a major milestone and something we are extremely proud of.” |
