Ottawa T2 Terminal Tractor

We’ve gone back to the drawing board and consulted with the real terminal tractor experts, and our customers, to create a machine that delivers where it really matters – on your bottom line.

From the ground up, every aspect of the Kalmar Ottawa T2 Terminal Tractor is designed to make the high-pressure task of spotting trailers in your terminal smoother, safer, and more efficient. Its modular chassis is built to cope with the heavy demands of your operational needs, yet is lightweight enough to reduce fuel consumption and increase maneuverability.

Fifth-wheel lifting is faster and more powerful than ever, thanks to quick-lift cylinders, spherical top, and bottom bearings, and improved lift support. And when it comes to the cabin, we really took things beyond the ordinary, with easier and safer entry and exit points, superb visibility and protection, and unparalleled comfort and user-friendliness.

The Kalmar Ottawa T2 Terminal Tractor, in the 4x2 configuration, is DOT/EPA certified as road-ready. It's perfect for distribution operations in dispersed warehouses, distribution centres, and terminals where short distance highway travel is required.
