Noell Crane Systems China Ltd (NCSC) has delivered its 150th container handling stacker to Ji Fa, a Shanghai-based container yard operator.

It is the second NCSC-manufactured CS45Km reach stacker ordered by Ji Fa.

Fantuzzi product manager Jimmy Lozada said many Chinese and overseas customers were placing repeat orders for NCSC-made Fantuzzi machines.

"Sixty per cent of our customers are local, 30 per cent are regional and 10 per cent are outside Asia," Lozada said.

Currently six, seven and eight-high single and double box empty stackers and five-high laden stackers are assembled at NCSC's workshops.

Lozada said NCSC was looking to assemble the FDC J six-high and seven-high empty container handlers at its workshops.

NCSC, in Zhangzhou, Fujian, is a foreign-invested joint venture company formerly known as Preussag Noell-China Merchants. The company was known as PNCM when it began operating in 1998.

In 2004, NCSC sold 39 CS45Km reach stackers and 43 FDC K7 and K8 empty container handlers.
