Terberg Special Vehicles are setting the standard at Solent Stevedores, outshining competitors with their superior design and performance. From the seamless side door entry to the suspended cab that absorbs the bumps of dock roads, Terberg tractors enhance both driver comfort and operational efficiency.
Solent Stevedores operates at 14 terminals across the UK and internationally, providing a range of cargo and passenger services. Their container handling services at the Port of Southampton rely on Terberg YT tractors.
Driver Roger Garner told us about his experience with our specialist tractors:
"The tug we had before was not to Terberg standard. It was a faff getting in through the back door - but with the Terberg side door, it's far better. The performance, quality of build - far superior.
The suspended cab makes a real difference. Dock roads aren't the best built roads - but you hardly feel the bumps, which does your back a world of good. And the aircon's a must, even in winter, because it clears the windscreen." Solent's machines are fitted with a range of options to tailor them to this application: hard-wearing tyres, extra wide-angle mirrors, additional LED worklights and air conditioning" Driver, Roger Garner
Roger recently trialled a YT2013 EV "Getting out of the diesel and into the electric was like stepping into an old pair of slippers. Everything was where I expected it to be. From the minute I got in, it was absolutely great - quiet, and smoother on acceleration. Instant power, no lag like diesel. Moving to electric feels like the natural progression." Driver, Roger Garner
