  • 48 Volt Battery System for Long Run Times
  • Forward Facing Operation Improves Safety and Control
  • Precise Speed Control Reduces Risk of Damage to Dock, Trailer, Equipment

  • No More Waiting for your Hostler

The TrailerCaddy Terminal Tractor is an affordable yard truck designed for shunting semi-trailers in and out of dock doors at manufacturing or distribution centers. If you are a smaller or medium distribution center, the purchase of a shunt truck, hostler truck or terminal tractor can be costly. The price of a new shunt truck can easily be above $100k, and annual maintenance fees can run into tens-of-thousands of dollars. The fact is that shunting trailers is expensive, and it is dangerous. Most injuries, damage to trailers, tractors, and buildings occur in yards rather than on the roads. Additionally, hiring outside shunting services can get expensive and be very inefficient.

Air Brake Release Kit (includes dc converter, pump, Glad Hand cables & airtank)

Upgrade to Qty (8) 110 Amp AGM Batteries (AGM batteries needed for overseas shipments)

Every DJ Products unit is built to order for the load it has to move, so the right drive package, attachment and battery depend on your application. Tell us the weight, the surface and the incline and we will quote the correct build.

How heavy a trailer can the TrailerCaddy Terminal Tractor move?

It moves semi trailers, OTR trailers and tank trailers up to 100,000 lb. A 10 in hydraulic king pin lift picks up the trailer, and a 6 HP chain drive moves it. Floor or yard condition and slope reduce usable capacity, so tell us the surface and any incline when you ask for a quote.

Does the operator need a CDL to drive the Terminal Tractor?

No. DJ Products states that no CDL or health card is needed to operate it, so any trained employee can spot trailers. OSHA rule 1910.178 still requires that only trained and authorized operators use powered industrial trucks, and your employer decides how that applies at your site.

How does the operator drive the Terminal Tractor?

The operator faces forward, which DJ Products says improves safety and control. Precise speed control from 0 to 1.3 mph helps when shunting trailers in and out of dock doors without striking the dock, the trailer or other equipment.

Can the Terminal Tractor release trailer air brakes?

Yes, with the optional air brake release kit. It includes a DC converter, a pump, glad hand cables and an air tank so you can release the brakes on trailers equipped with air brakes before moving them.

What batteries does the TrailerCaddy Terminal Tractor use?

It runs on a 48 volt system of four 150Ah batteries for long run times. An upgrade to eight 110 amp AGM batteries is available, and AGM batteries are required for overseas shipments. It rides on 18 in solid tread tires.

How does the TrailerCaddy Terminal Tractor arrive?

The TrailerCaddy Terminal Tractor is built to order by DJ Products at its Minnesota plant and arrives crated by freight carrier. Most sites need a loading dock or a forklift to receive the crate, so plan for one before it arrives.

How is my cart delivered?
