New Terminal Tractor Debuts from Kalmar

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has introduced a new terminal tractor at Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS).

Entering the North American market, the new Kalmar Ottawa T2 is a thoroughly purpose-built terminal tractor engineered, as the company describes, for “superior performance, productivity and serviceability.”

According to Chris Booth, Vice President, Terminal Tractors, “With features like a strengthened chassis, faster fifth-wheel lifting, safety enhancements and easier serviceability, the T2 will enhance the demanding task of spotting trailers by bringing more order, control, and efficiency to the process.”

The T2’s ground-breaking design should also translate to easier maintenance and serviceability, another crucial component of productivity in a fast-paced terminal.

In turn, many routine service procedures, such as oil and transmission fluid checks, can be accomplished more quickly and safely from ground level. The T2 utilises Kalmar Ottawa’s proven three-point air suspension system and electric cab tilt, which also helps speed-up maintenance and servicing.

The new vehicle is also reflects advanced ergonomics. The entire layout of cab components and environmental systems, such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, has been enhanced to make it easier and less stressful to operate.
