RS46 SERIES TECHNICAL GUIDE - Truck Dimensions - Rated Capacities and Stacking Heights

Oct 29, 2026

RS46 series technical guide providing truck dimensions and rated capacities for container handling models. Covers maximum container picking end-to-end, outside turning radius, swing radii of container corners, and total operating clearance referenced to VDI guidance. Includes rated capacities and stacking heights shown in 1,000 kg across multiple models, with distinctions for mechanical and powered pile slopes. Defines key load center distances c1, c2, c3 and notes how load centres are measured from tyre faces with a stabiliser deduction.

FAQs

What do r1 and r2 represent in the RS46 truck dimension specifications?

r1 is the radius of swing of the container rear corner, and r2 is the radius of swing of the container front corner.

How is the total operating clearance a determined for the truck?

a is the total operating clearance and is specified as 200 mm, with 100 mm on each side according to the referenced VDI line guidance.

How are load centres c1, c2, and c3 measured in the rated capacity tables?

Load centres c1, c2, and c3 are taken from the front face of the tyres, with a deduction of 100 mm when load centres are taken from the front face of the stabiliser.
