With hundreds of vehicles and trailers using the Palletline Birmingham Hub each night, ensuring a smooth and efficient operation is always a challenge. Introducing the latest addition to the Palletline Plc fleet, the new Terberg Tugmaster shunter is already hard at work assisting the safe and efficient movement of Member Companies' trailers. Having this shunter vehicle on site means that Palletline can offer its members a more efficient turnaround of vehicles and handle increased numbers of stand trailers – directly improving efficiency for members.
So what exactly is a Terberg Tugmaster? 
Some details – this elevating fifth wheel tractor unit provides significant power to move even the heaviest loads, with a six-cylinder four stroke direct injection diesel engine with turbo charging and intercooler. More commonly found on freight ferries, these handy vehicles are designed specifically for hauling large goods vehicle trailers. We hope that 'Terry' as we've named him is as happy in his new home as we are with our new shunter!
