Electric Terminal Tractor
Battery yard tractor for enclosed terminals, night operations and sites with emissions or noise limits. Energy and maintenance cost per hour usually sits below a diesel's, provided the charging plan fits the shuttle pattern; the margin turns on your electricity tariff and on what the charging installation costs.
Features
- Full torque from standstill suits repeated coupling cycles and ramps better than a diesel of equal rating.
- Charging strategy decides feasibility: opportunity charging on driver breaks, a fast charger at the dock, or a battery swap, and each carries a different infrastructure cost.
- No exhaust means the machine can work inside a shed or under a canopy where a diesel cannot.
- Cab heating and the hydraulic pump both draw from the traction battery, so winter range is lower than the quoted figure.
