What Are the Terminal Tractor Specifications?

Terminal tractors, also known as yard trucks or shunt trucks, play a crucial role in transportation and logistics, especially in freight terminals, ports, and distribution centers. These specialized vehicles are designed to transport large trailers in confined spaces.
