Michael Félix is team leader at the Rhine Europe terminal, where he is the operational link between logistics supervision and the teams in the field. He is also a reach stacker operator and relies on BKT PORTMAX PM 90 tires for several features that make them the best in the port operations: the manoeuvrability in tight spaces and when cornering, the stability when stacking containers at maximum height, and the ability to absorb uneven ground.
