APM Terminals Yucatán has added a SANY electric reach stacker at its terminal in Puerto Progreso, Mexico, as part of efforts to electrify cargo-handling operations.
The addition of the electric reach stacker supports the terminal’s ongoing focus on introducing more electrically powered equipment into its cargo-handling activities.
Electrification of Terminal Equipment
Reach stackers are used in container terminals to move and handle containers within yard operations. The introduction of an electric model provides APM Terminals Yucatán with an alternative to conventional diesel-powered handling equipment.
The move reflects the wider adoption of electrification across ports and terminals, where operators and equipment manufacturers are exploring electric machinery for cargo handling and yard operations.
SANY’s electric reach stacker adds to the range of technologies available to terminals seeking to modernise their equipment fleets while supporting operational and environmental objectives.
The deployment at Puerto Progreso highlights the continued development of electric cargo-handling equipment and its growing role in container terminal operations.
