A Hyster reach stacker is used to pick up and store Iso-Tanker Containers.

Chemicals producer Coogee Chemicals has chosen a Hyster RS45-31CH reach stacker to solve a challenge it had with handling chemicals.

Supplied by Adaptalift Hyster, the reach stacker will be used to pick up and store Iso-Tanker Containers which hold a reagent product and will significantly improve productivity and handling times for the Coogee Chemicals' Mt Isa site.

The reach stacker is designed for high-density container stacking applications, usually up to five high and three rows deep.

According to Jeff Muller, Coogee Chemicals Queensland and NT operations, fast and safe handling of the containers is essential for day-to-day operations. "The end result of Coogee Chemicals' investment is considerable costs savings and improved flexibility."

Coogee Chemicals produces a wide range of industrial, agricultural and mineral processing chemicals for supply to both the Australian and international markets. In addition, it provides bulk liquid terminal facilities for import, export and storage of chemicals and fuels.
