RS45-27 CH Hyster Reach Stacker Specs & Dimensions (2008 - 2017)

A Framework of Experience

The frame and boom structures offer excellent durability. The frame is immensely strong, as heavy-duty welding of the main sections and the wide-spaced rear supports provide rigidity. Furthermore, the design delivers excellent visibility to the rear. The new boom design, with increased plate thickness on the inner boom, offers increased durability, easier maintenance, as well as less wear and improved component life. This results in lower service costs and improved uptime, which help to reduce overall operating costs. The pivot points for the boom are positioned right at the back of the frame and therefore minimise the ‘overhang’, resulting in a very compact machine and ensuring that the excellent rearward visibility is maintained, even when the boom is raised. The two-stage boom is rectangular in shape, is welded both inside and outside, and telescopes on self-lubricating self-aligning non-metallic bearings.

Counterweight Design

The length of the counterweight extending out at the rear of the machine has been kept to a minimum. This has been achieved by using a solid piece of metal for the rear section of the box-type frame, so keeping much of the required ballast inside the machine. The unique ‘boomerang’ shaped frame, with the pivot point of the boom at the furthest point to the rear.

Electrics

24 Volt system, 70 A alternator (Stage IIIA) or 120 A Prestolite alternator (Stage IIIB), 184 Ah battery with master switch.‘CANbus’ diagnostic connection in the cab for engine, transmission, instruments, and load-moment protection system.

Intermodal Spreader

Equipped as the ‘CH’ spreader, with, in addition: PPS: ‘Powered Pile Slope’ (hydraulically powered sideways articulation of +/- 6.0 degrees), operated by 4 cylinders, to facilitate the precise positioning of the bottom-lift grapple feet onto (sloping) swap-bodies / trailers. Free (non-powered) sideways articulation is +/- 1.5 degrees, to facilitate easy handling of containers on / off sloping trailers. 4 integrally mounted ‘bottom-lift’ legs (at a fixed lateral distance of 4875 mm centre to centre), to handle swap-bodies / trailers (European types with bottom-lift points according to ISO 1496/1). When handling containers, all 4 legs can be hydraulically rotated (swivelled) upwards. The ‘block-stacking’ feature (standard equipment) allows the bottom-lift legs to fold-up within the contours of a (2.44 m wide) ISO container. With a swap-body or trailer in the four grapple arms, the truck will only drive 10km/h, in compliance with the ISO 3691 ruling. (This ruling does not apply when carrying a container by the twistlocks).

Electronic Load Moment Control System

With automatic shut-off beyond the rated load-moment. Automatic shut-off function on boom lowering and telescope-out. Warning lights in the dash board: Green, Orange (at 90% load-moment), Red (at 100% rated load moment). Digital display unit, showing actual load, max. rated load, and load distance plus load height.

Brakes

Service Brake: Multiple oil immersed discs on the drive axle, with cooling system. Parking Brake: Dry disc brake on the drive axle input shaft, spring applied and hydraulically released.

A Powered Full-sliding cab is standard on IH models (optional on CH models):

The cab can slide from the rear of the machine over 2.6 m to a fully forward position. This is essential for IH models when handling swap-bodies or trailers, so that the driver can see the grapple feet at ground level. Some drivers also prefer the fully forward position for low height container handling. Access is easy, thanks to convenient staircases plus platforms with handrails and wide opening doors. For the version with powered full-sliding cab, extra steps and handrails are provided on the left-hand front fender to facilitate cab entry/exit in the forward position. A second set of rear view mirrors, positioned on the front fenders, is included as standard. The cab features a low noise level of 70 dB(A), according to the DIN 45635 standard.

Servicing

The hydraulic oil tank features a sight glass for the oil level, as well as magnetic drain plugs. A sensor with a warning light in the cab to identify overheating of the oil temperature is available as an option. The cab is powered (Partial or Full-sliding) in combination with quickly removable (lightweight aluminum) floor plate sections, which provides truly excellent access for service work. New side panel design, plus the open structure, galvanized steps, and running boards offer easier access to major systems and components. Easier access to electrics, oil, and air filters. Driver access from the right-hand side is now optional.

In-Cab and Operator Convenience Items Include

Large multi-function colour display (screen size 86 x 115 mm) on the Load Moment Control system, with extra functions: Engine rpm, travel speed, engine temperature. Deluxe air suspended seat, instead of mechanically suspended seat. Also available with seat heating. Trainer seat (small extra seat cushion). Support stand with mounting plate to fit computer terminal or communications equipment in the right-front area of the cab (restricts access via the right-hand cab door). Converter: 24 Volt DC to 12 Volt DC, to use 12 V accessories.

Lights

10 front work lights (4 on the boom, 4 on the front fenders, and 2 rear, all halogen type), 2 front marker lights, 4 direction indicators, 2 tail/stop lights, one orange flashing beacon elevated above the boom, and 2 work lights on the container spreader directed towards the engagement points (4 work lights with intermodal spreader).

ReachStacker Development Story

Hyster began building ReachStackers in 1995 and since that time, hundreds have been delivered to customers worldwide. The latest generation of trucks in the RS45-46 range consists of 12 models, starting with 'first row' Container Stackers through to 'second-rail' Intermodal Handlers. These ReachStackers, in addition to adopting the best features of the previous generation, are available with either Stage IIIA or Stage IIIB compliant engines, in order to meet the different legislative requirements, regarding exhaust emissions.
