The reach stacker, a vehicle used for handling cargo containers in terminals or ports, is a motor vehicle as contemplated in the Road Accident Fund (RAF) Act, the Supreme Court of Appeal held on Monday.
In a unanimous judgment by the full bench written by judge of appeal Dumisani Zondi, the court dismissed the RAF's appeal with costs.
Zondi said the definition displayed three requirements before a vehicle qualified as a motor vehicle for purposes of the RAF Act. He said it was clear from its features that the reach stacker was propelled by means of diesel fuel and transported containers on roads within the port premises.
