A terminal tractor, also referred to as a spotter truck or yard truck, is used to move semi-trailers to and from the dock for loading and unloading. At start-up, a company may not move much product and have little need for a terminal tractor. However, growth changes the pace for deliveries or may result in property expansion.
Reasons to Invest in a Terminal Tractor
Purchasing a terminal tractor is a wise investment if your company is:
- Experiencing a high number of deliveries, causing semi-truck drivers to sit and wait to drop off product
- Using a semi-truck to move trailers to and from the dock
- Hiring a contractor to move trailers, using a semi-truck or terminal tractor
- Storing product at multiple locations, resulting in moving products between buildings
Why Choose a TICO Pro-Spotter?
As a user of terminal tractors, TICO builds theirs for today’s work environments. The TICO Pro-Spotter offers maintenance-friendly equipment designed to have fluids and the hour meter be accessible from the ground. The main components of the Pro-Spotter can be inspected and replaced with ease.
The focus on driver ergonomics resulted in TICO providing the largest standard cab on a terminal tractor. The design allows operators to keep a 3-point contact at all times and its air door prevents twisting that often results in back injuries. The TICO Pro-Spotter also has a thick lifting boom and provides the heaviest truck frame, ensuring durability during daily operation.
