Right after the market launch of its Terex® Liftace™ 5-31 reach stacker, Terex Port Solutions (TPS) is experiencing strong demand for the premier model of its new lift-truck generation. The first of the cost-effective, serviceable and ergonomic machines will go to Cuypers Vorkliften NV (Cuypers) in Antwerp, Belgium. Cuypers hires out lift trucks to terminal operators in the Port of Antwerp. TPS customers in France, Canada and the USA will soon be adding the new Terex Liftace reach stacker to their fleets.

Cuypers: steady increase in fleet capacity
The Liftace 5-31 reach stacker combines the expertise and strengths of the two Terex legacy brands, PPM and Fantuzzi, with many new features.
