Empty container handler for small river port
Looking for an 8–9 ton empty container stacker, 5–6 high. Terminal handles maybe 120 moves a day. Don’t want to pay Kalmar money for that volume. What are realistic options these days?

Bought a reach stacker-based empty handler last winter – stacks 6-high empty no sweat, much more maneuverable than forklift type. Cab is high and visibility is excellent. Local dealer did the delivery and all training in one week. You can see the exact model availability here https://ants-sany.com/en/ Operating cost is lower than our old Kalmar, parts price difference is laughable. Already paid for itself on the smaller fuel and service bills.
