Inland Terminals Group (ITG) will begin 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-kilowatt lithium-ion battery packs capable of supporting a full 8-hour 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 hours when using the right charger. Shared software across Hyster electric lift trucks supports common displays, operator interfaces, service tools and diagnostics.
