The Hyster H18XM-12EC empty container handler is a heavy-duty machine designed for ports, rail terminals, shipping yards, intermodal facilities, and container depots. Built for demanding applications, it combines tall stacking capability, dependable diesel performance, and precise container positioning.

The H18XM-12EC provides a rated capacity of 8,500 kilograms—approximately 18,700 pounds—at a 1,220-millimeter load center. Depending on the installed mast, it can stack standard 8-foot-6-inch containers six or seven high. It can also stack 9-foot-6-inch containers five or six high.

Power is supplied by a turbocharged Cummins QSB 6.7-liter diesel engine, producing approximately 225 horsepower. The engine works with a ZF five-speed automatic transmission to deliver responsive acceleration and efficient travel throughout busy container-handling operations.

An ELME side-lift spreader allows the machine to handle standard 20- and 40-foot containers. Available spreader configurations include vertical twistlocks, powered pile slope, sideshift, and specialized systems for single or double empty-container handling.

The enclosed operator cab offers excellent visibility, ergonomic hydraulic controls, a multifunction display, adjustable steering, and a suspension seat. Wet disc brakes, pneumatic tires, hydrostatic power steering, and load-sensing hydraulics contribute to dependable performance during long shifts.
