World’s most popular distribution tractor takes centre stage on Cargotec Kalmar’s stand at Commercial Vehicle Show, NEC Birmingham, 24-26 April 2012
Kalmar is the world’s leading manufacturer of terminal tractors, delivering more than 57,000 units globally over the years. The results of this vast experience together with in-depth technological expertise, innovative R&D and close co-operation with users are all reflected in the Kalmar TT612d distribution tractor.
Fast duty cycles are a top priority for busy distribution centre operators. Kalmar’s new TT612d distribution tractor has been developed especially to move trailers over short distances and designed to operate effectively and efficiently in tight terminal surroundings. Fast turnaround times, low operating costs, excellent manoeuvrability, unique comfort, easily accessible service points and reliability are all combined in the new TT612d, creating a solution that gives superior safety, visibility and working comfort.
Cost is a vital factor where distribution efficiency is concerned. The TT612d features Kalmar’s Intelligent ECO Fuel System that can give up to 10% lower running costs while reducing carbon emissions by up to 11,200 Kg per year. Add to this the smallest turning circle in the industry to make the most of every centimetre of distribution terminal yard space and the financial case for the Kalmar TT612d is unassailable. (Actual savings may vary based on driving conditions, applications, etc.)
Of particular interest to operators is the care Kalmar has taken to provide the driver with a stress-free working environment. The ergonomically-designed comfort cabin enjoys a panoramic view of the operation while Kalmar’s unique tall-cab concept with only one low step separating the cabin from the rear deck for safe and easy access to the trailer connections ensures that the TT612d appeals to drivers as a safe and inviting place to work. All controls fall conveniently to hand and efficient insulation ensures minimal noise pollution both inside and outside the cab.
Visitors are encouraged to visit Stand 3E40 at the Commercial Vehicle Show, NEC Birmingham 24-26 April 2012 to see the winning features of the Kalmar TT612d for themselves. A team of highly experienced personnel will be on hand to help distribution terminal operators find cost-efficient solutions to their load handling problems.
