Reach Stacker Hire Perth. Keeps Your Yard Moving.
When containers are stacking up and the clock is running, a reach stacker is the machine that keeps your yard moving. With over 35 years of combined industry experience sourcing and moving heavy machinery, we know when a reach stacker hire or rental is the right call, what size you actually need, and how to get one to your site without the headache.
What Can A Reach Stacker Lift?
- ✓Laden container handlers typically lift around 40 to 45 tonnes in the first row
- ✓Empty container handlers are lighter, faster machines built for stacking empties higher
- ✓Stacking is commonly four to five containers high, reaching two to three rows deep
One Machine, One Operator, Containers Sorted
A reach stacker is a heavy, wheeled machine built to lift, move and stack shipping containers. Using a telescopic boom and a spreader on the front, it can pick a container off the ground or a truck, reach over the first row to grab the one behind it, and stack containers several high.
Which Do You Actually Need?
This is where a lot of hire decisions go wrong. Get the comparison right and you save money either way.
Reach Stacker
- Reaches over rows and stacks containers higher
- Purpose built for container handling in volume
- Saves hours over a fleet of forklifts on container work
Heavy Forklift
- Lifts from the front only, no reach over rows
- Better for mixed yard work and non-container loads
- Lower entry cost for smaller container volumes
Built For The Yard, Not Just The Port
Brands We Can Source Through Our Network
A lot of reach stacker suppliers push one brand because that's what's in their yard. We work the wider market, so the machine you get is matched to your containers, not to someone else's stock.

How Do You Transport A Reach Stacker?
A reach stacker is a big, heavy unit, often 70 tonnes and up, so you don't just drive it to site. Moving one is heavy haulage in its own right, typically needing a float rated to around 100 tonnes, along with the right permits. We handle the machine and the transport together.
Should You Hire Or Buy A Reach Stacker?
If you need one for a project, a peak season or a one off job, hiring keeps your cash free. If containers are your day to day and the machine will earn its keep, buying can make more sense.
Hire
- Suits a project, peak season or one off job
- Cash stays free, maintenance off your hands
- Matched to the job, not limited to one yard
Buy
- Makes sense for ongoing container yard operations
- New or used, sourced brand agnostic
- One cost instead of ongoing hire rates

Most reach stacker work is Perth metro ports and rail terminals, but we also coordinate reach stacker rental and sale into the Pilbara and Goldfields, including Karratha, Port Hedland, Newman, Kalgoorlie, Geraldton and Bunbury.
