What is a terminal tractor?
A terminal tractor, like the Autocar ACTT, is a vehicle designed specifically for moving semi-trailers and shipping containers around the grounds of a cargo yard, port, distribution center, warehouse or intermodal facility. Terminal tractors are also known as yard trucks, yard drivers, spotters or hostlers.
What is the difference between the ACTT 4x2 Off Road and ACTT 4x2 DOT models?
The main difference between the ACTT 4x2 Off Road and ACTT 4x2 DOT models is their intended use:
- 4x2 Off Road: Designed specifically for off-road/yard use and is not meant to be driven on public roads. Available with a model-specific Cummins QSBT4f diesel engine optimized for heavy-duty yard operations.
- 4x2 DOT: Designed for yard use, but it is also Department of Transportation (DOT)-compliant, meaning it meets DOT standards to travel legally on public roads.
