Customised terminal tractor

Timo Matikainen, Director, Kalmar Heavy Terminal Tractors, said: “The new TT616i tractor can be customised to very specific operations because it is based on a heavy duty frame and modules. The machine features a 95 tonnes gross combination weight and its fifth wheel load capacity is the biggest in the market at 36 tonnes. The standard engine supplied is the Cummins 173hp, but for customers continuously operating with heavy loads, we recommend choosing the more powerful Cummins 220hp engine, as well as fitting an elevating lift boom with the 36 tonne capacity – one of five different lift boom options. Where the yard’s operational distances are short, the customer can choose to fit an axle with a ratio for fast acceleration and sufficient maximum speed. There are many other additional options for the TT616i, which can be combined to make each machine unique. We can recommend options that enable our customers to carefully control emissions, keep noise levels down and achieve high uptimes. Our silent drive option is recommended if the operating area has strict regulations for night time noise levels and ecodrive if emissions need to be minimised.”
