TPC at the Port of Coquimbo, Chile Gonzalo López Roldán, Operations Manager of Terminal Puerto Coquimbo told us about his experiences with Terberg tractors “The Port of Coquimbo has been operated by TPC since 2012, delivering a first class service with cutting edge technology, sustainable with the environment, operational excellence and in charge of a complete team of leading professionals in their areas.
This year, Terberg distributor Tattersall Maquinarias supplied us with 10 Terberg YT220 tractors to support our Site 3 Modernization Project at the Coquimbo Region Multipurpose Terminal. That will allow us to offer a better service, opening opportunities for new customers. The performance of the tractors has been optimal in operational terms. They have responded well. In terms of maintenance, they provide good accessibility to the important points to check. The safety system is excellent. Maintenance is easy.
All operational aspects are convenient: comfort, peripheral vision, access to the cabin, external protection, safety LED on the floor, camera system. In general, the equipment offers several options for operation and is very robust. Just what we were looking for when choosing our Terbergs. These terminal tractors support efficient, dynamic and safe operation. That means we can achieve the expected performance. The tight turning radius on ramps also makes work more efficient.”
CHILE
Navimag, Chile Navimag is a cargo and passenger transport company located in Puerto Montt, Chile. They operate a route between Chilean Patagonia and the southern fjords, giving passengers a unique travel experience. The company is currently expanding its range of services.
They started using Terberg in 2009 after Sergio Picarte (then Fleet manager, currently Head of vehicles) and Manuel Fernandez, (then tractor operator, currently Operations Supervisor in Puerto Natales), travelled to Hamburg, Germany in search of shunter tractors to optimise their operations and customer service. They became the first Terberg customer in Chile and operate a number of RTs. Some of their older RT28s have clocked up 42,000 hours and are still working well thanks to the care of Navimag’s maintenance department. Mr Picarte “In 2008 we were looking for tractors to replace some of the units we were using then. We received a quote for used tractors with an average of 10,000 hours of operation and of a brand unknown to our organisation - Terberg. In my opinion they are very good, excellent even. Given our experience over the years I would buy them again.”
