San Antonio Terminal Internacional, Chile invests in YTs
This satisfied customer provided the following testimonial “We continue to consolidate our position as a benchmark for the port industry in Chile and the region. This is demonstrated by the latest tractor fleet renewal: the purchase of 24 YT220s from Terberg distributor Tattersall. Deliveries to the terminal started in January 2023.
The purchase of these tractors represents an important technological advance, replacing equipment that, in some cases, had been in operation for more than two decades. In terms of efficiency and safety, the Terberg YT220s have met the expectations of San Antonio Terminal Internacional, responding to the demanding day-to-day operations. In terms of safety, these units have a built-in seat sensor that automatically shuts down the machine in the absence of the operator and the ergonomic seats are equipped with
a retractable 3-point seat belt. In terms of operator comfort, the Terberg YT220 offers a smoother operator experience with an independent shock absorber system. Similarly, the lever to operate the fifth wheel is in a position closer to the driver and requires less effort, which is highly appreciated by port personnel. It is hoped that this equipment will contribute to our terminal continuing to offer excellence and state of the art technology, to continue connecting Chile with the world.”

Dealer focus: Cropac, Canada
Cropac was one of the first Terberg Special Vehicles distributors to be appointed in North America. Olivier Laflamme, the company’s main contact person with Terberg told us more “We became a Terberg distributor in September 2017 and we serve customers in the Province of Quebec and the Toronto region. At first we only dealt with port and industrial customers and in 2021 we started dealing with logistics customers. I am based in Montreal. We sell vehicles and also have a rental fleet. In addition to Terberg equipment we supply Taylor heavy forklifts, cranes and telescopic handlers. In general, port customers do the maintenance in house. We provide them
phone support, supply spare parts and train their technicians. Our logistics customers mostly contract maintenance out to us. The Midland transport company is a good example of a customer in the logistics sector. We supply them with YT shunting tractors for a number of their distribution centres across the Maritime Provinces of Canada. The Montreal Gateway Terminals Partnership serves markets in both the West of Canada and the United States. They have been using Terberg shunter tractors since Cropac started supplying them and have recently ordered another 40 YTs. Aluminerie Alouette is the largest aluminium smelter in the Americas. We are about to deliver their third Terberg unit to them, an
RT403. That is used in the yard to haul trailers loaded with large blocks of aluminium. They specified a number of options, as well as a custom electrical hook-up for the trailer. We have a lot of loyal repeat customers, they tend to replace other brand vehicles in their fleet with Terbergs. The drivers like the tractors: completely different from the competition, better ergonomics, better layout of the controls, more comfort.”
