Hyster-Yale Delivers HFC-Powered ReachStacker to Port of Tilbury

05:58 AM EDT, 09/17/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Hyster-Yale's (HY) Hyster and dealer Briggs Equipment UK delivered a hydrogen fuel cell-powered ReachStacker to the Port of Tilbury, marking the first deployment of an HFC-powered container handler in a fully operational UK port, the company said Thursday. The ReachStacker uses a 60-kilowatt Nuvera fuel cell engine with a 130-kilowatt-hour battery, stores 32 kilograms of hydrogen, and can operate for up to 12 hours, with refueling taking less than 30 minutes, the company said. The ReachStacker will run on green hydrogen produced on-site using an electrolyzer supplied by GeoPura, the company said. The equipment is expected to reduce the Port of Tilbury's CO2 emissions footprint by more than 107,000 kilograms per year, it added. Briggs Equipment UK will provide maintenance and frontline support, while Hyster will provide additional technical assistance for the fuel cell and high-voltage systems, according to the company.
