What Is a Terminal Tractor Used For?
A terminal tractor goes by many names. Whether you call it a trailer spotter or a yard goat, HTX Material Handling provides customers with industry-leading brands. Terminal tractors are made to move semi-trailers within cargo yards, ports, intermodal distribution facilities, or any large yard. The main functionality of a terminal tractor is to maintain a smooth trailer unloading process within the yard or terminal. While they’re often referred to as “yard goats,” they’re actually more like workhorses—these uniquely specialized pieces of equipment have several heavy-duty features.
Advanced Equipment Leads to Advanced Performance
Terminal tractors have exceptional movability with their short wheelbase and tight turning radius. They also deliver on durability. Terminal tractors have the strength to meet intense demands, such as hooking up to and hauling extremely heavy trailers. Regardless of what model you’re looking for, we have several configurations to fit your needs.
