Terberg MPM Ireland keeping busy with some truly special projects
This Terberg subsidiary serves the whole of Ireland, north and south of the border. They have a rental fleet and are experiencing a growing demand for full service contracts. Their product portfolio also includes fire and rescue equipment, and Seacom trailers. Soil remediation A recent special project was the supply of three RTs for a soil remediation project near the west coast of Ireland. After the demolition of a pharmaceutical plant work started to excavate over 200,000 tonnes of contaminated soil, occasionally down to a depth of nine metres. Inside a sealed enclosure the soil is loaded into special containers which are then picked up by dedicated trailers pulled by the RTs. These tractors were selected because of some steep gradients on the site, and because of the contractor’s good experiences with
Carrigtwohill, County Cork. They specified a special metallic paint for their YT193 and then added yellow highlights and alloy wheels - probably a first on a Terberg tractor! Murphy Transport is also a family business. The company has its headquarters in Cork City and offers a full-load service covering all of Ireland. Their YT193 is finished in the company’s livery of green and cream, with red detailing.

Terberg Tractors Belgium Andiprim happy with fully-specced DT
Andiprim specialises in fruit and vegetable transport and is located in Sint- Katelijne-Waver in the centre of Belgium, close to Europe’s largest produce auction. Andiprim’s first Terberg was a YT222 and they recently purchased a DT183-LE, used at the auction site and on public roads in the surrounding area. An Andiprim spokesperson commented “We selected the DT because of the low-entry cab, we have to enter and leave the cab frequently. The next time we will definitely get a DT again rather than a conventional model. The visibility is much better, the cab is large and the steering is very light. The driver enjoys working with the machine: comfortable and quick.
We specified a full package of options, such as air conditioning, lots of LED work lights all around, a deluxe ISRI seat, Terberg Connect telematics - the lot! The DT is used for shunting trailers and taking them to the trailer wash, and collecting fruit and vegetables from the auction in the morning. TTB looks after all the servicing and repairs.”
