Bandeirantes chooses TPS for 'good experience'
Montceau-les-Mines, France
Terminal operator Bandeirantes Logistica Integrada has expanded its fleet in Santos, the port with the highest cargo volumes in South America, with two new Terex reach stackers.
The new Terex TFC 46 M reach stackers can stack up to six full high-cube containers in the first row and up to five in the second row. The maximum load capacity is 45 T in the first, 35 T in the second and 19 T in the third row. It has a maximum travel speed of 25 km/h (15.5 mph.) and a lifting speed of 0.48 m/s (1.6 ft./s).
According to José Eduardo Ornellas Priante, maintenance manager at Bandeirantes, Terex machines were chosen because of the terminal's good experience with the products and with Terex Port Solutions' distributor in Brazil, Equiport. The value of the order is confidential.
"We started operation with our first Terex reach stacker in 2005 and since then we have systematically expanded our fleet to six machines," says Ornellas Priante.

Record numbers sign up to be apprentices
Rocester, United Kingdom
JCB says a record number of young women have started working at the company as apprentices. Nine women have just completed the first week of apprenticeships, nearly double last year's intake.
They were recruited as part of the company's Young Talent initiative, which attracted over 1,000 applications for more than 100 new jobs for apprentices, graduates and undergraduates. A total of 59 of the new positions are for apprentices.
JCB's Young Talent program, which was introduced three years ago, has seen almost 350 young people join the business. The latest recruitment drive comes after Lord Bamford underlined his commitment to "identifying and nurturing young talent" in his maiden speech in the House of Lords.
This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of JCB's first apprenticeship program.
