Louisville, Miss., headquartered Taylor Machine Works, Inc. has added a new reach stacker to its product line that is purpose-built to handle containers in the unique lift situations that barge applications present.
“We listen to our customers and as a result, we are now offering the new XHRS-1000 that is specifically designed to take care of our inland rivers and waterway customers and their needs,” said Hal Nowell, Director of Sales of Taylor Machine Works.
