You probably know what a terminal tractor can be or as we like to call them yard goat and didn’t even realize it. You haven’t seen them on the road, they are in airports and warehouses to move equipment, packages, bags, etc from place to place. A terminal tractor provides efficiency at a lower cost, what company doesn’t want that?
What does a terminal tractor look like? They have a single-person cab, a full-height sliding rear door, and a very short wheelbase. They can be powered with diesel, alternative fuel types, or an electric motor. Some industries that utilize terminal tractors include:
- Airports
- Distribution Centers
- Warehouses
- Receiving facilities
- Intermodal depots
- Industrial Factories
- Ports
Terminal tractor sales are increasing to serve new markets
The use of terminal tractors is increasing to serve a variety of industries and markets. Most would assume they are only used at airports, but this is not the case. Covid-19 not only affected day-to-day life, but it has left an enormous impact on businesses and the way they serve their customers. During these tough times, people used the internet to buy food, appliances, furniture, clothes, and more. With an increase in E-Commerce, warehouses have had their fair share of work handed to them. They have had to keep up with the supply, making terminal tractors very important to their operation.
