Models, stacking heights and capacities

The Hyster Empty Container Handlers range H16.00-22.00XM-12EC

consists of following models:

› H16.00XM-12EC Empty Container Handler, maximum 7000 kg,

› stacking 6 x 8’6” high or 5 x 9’6” high single containers.

› H18.00XM-12EC Empty Container Handler, maximum 7000 kg,

› stacking 7 x 8’6” high or 6 x 9’6” high single containers.

› H22.00XM-12EC Empty Container Handler, maximum 9000 kg,

› stacking ‘2 on 5’ x 8’6” high or ‘2 on 4’ x 9’6” high double containers,
› and also: 6 x 8’6” high or 5 x 9’6” high single containers.

› H22.00XM-12EC Empty Container Handler, maximum 9000 kg,

› stacking ‘2 on 6’ x 8’6” high or ‘2 on 5’ x 9’6” high double containers,
› and also: 7 x 8’6” high or 6 x 9’6” high single containers.
All capacities are according to ISO 10525.

Warning: Care must be exercised when handling elevated loads. When the
carriage and/or load is elevated, truck stability is reduced. It is important that
mast tilt be kept in back-tilted position or maximum in vertical position when
mast / loads are elevated. Operators must be trained and adhere to the
instructions contained in the Operating Manual.

Built On Experience

The H16.00-22.00XM-12EC series benefit from Hyster’s

long experience in designing and building high-stacking
empty container handlers. These EC handling machines
offer fastest handling, reliable proven components, and give
an excellent return on your investment.

Increased handling flexibility is provided by Hyster’s empty

container handling spreader, featuring ‘reefer correction’ as
standard, and a choice of four different container
engagement systems, for fast handling of single or
double containers.

This will ensure that Hyster continues to meet your needs

for increased productivity and lowest cost of ownership.
