25,000th vehicle celebrations
On 30 January 2015 we handed the keys to the
25,000th Terberg vehicle over to DFDS of Denmark,
one of our long-term customers. This was a
memorable and historic moment for all of us, and for
the Terberg family in particular. On this occasion,
we looked back to the past and appreciated the hard
work done to get this far. Terberg has a long history
of vehicle production. That started in 1966 when we
built the first Terberg 6x6 truck for groundworks
and construction industry operations. Terberg
trucks always stood their ground in the competition
with the large manufacturers, but over time the
market became more difficult for the smaller brands.
Fortunately, in the niche market for terminal and
RoRo tractors Terberg distinguished itself clearly
from the competition by providing customised
vehicles and excellent after-market support. In the
1990s, the realisation that terminal tractors were
the right product for us was accompanied by a
significant increase in the number of these vehicles
we produced. In that period the use of shipping
containers increased greatly and logistics operators
realised that terminal tractors were the perfect choice
for shifting dock and road trailers. We managed
to develop a professional, worldwide distribution
network in a short time, enabling us to offer our
customers an excellent service, anywhere.
The delivery of the 25,000th vehicle was
accompanied by celebrations which the family,
employees, distributors and customers all joined in.
It was a great day, as you can see in the photo report
elsewhere in this magazine.
Gerard Verdam
Early this year Gerard Verdam, head of Engineering
and Production, retired from our company. Gerard
worked at Terberg for 38 years and made a very
significant contribution to the expansion and success
of our business. Gerard always had a clear vision,
practical approach and great commitment. Three
years ago he was appointed Knight of the Order of
Orange Nassau and his contributions to our company
and society in general were underlined. Gerard was
not only very professional, but also a great colleague
to work with. Fortunately he will remain available as a
consultant for special projects, such as the expansion
of our plant at Benschop.
Applications
This magazine again presents many applications of
our vehicles in ports, logistics and distribution, and
heavy industry all over the world. We hope that it
gives you a good impression of the international and
dynamic dimension of our company, and how we
manage to provide a diverse range of customers with
vehicles and support which meet their needs.
We hope you enjoy reading this magazine.

Looking back on 38 years at Terberg
Gerard Verdam, our former head of Engineering & Production, retired after 38 years with the company – a period during which he saw, and initiated, many changes.
Gerard joined Terberg in 1977 as head of the mechanical workshop. He soon modernised the workshop and developed machines to increase efficiency. Terberg’s management noticed his ingenuity and soon transferred him to the Development department. In the evenings he studied for a degree in mechanical engineering. After six years, Gerard was promoted to department head and later joined the management team.

Rental growth for Terberg in Saudi ArabiaDoing business
on the Arabian peninsula
Terberg expands into Saudi Arabia with Al-
Iman for Contracting & Trading (Al-Iman),
who will provide 16 Terberg YT182 Yard
Tractors to Almajdouie De Rijke Logistics
(MDR) for their operations at the SADARA
project in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. SADARA is
a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and
the Dow Chemicals Company, which will
commence production in Q3 2015 and has an
estimated budget of $20 billion, thereby being
one of the largest chemical plants in the world.
MDR is SADARA’s contractor for the
operation of mobile equipment, which will
be supplied and serviced entirely by Al-Iman.
The Yard Tractors are designated to be used
in conjunction with 4 Reach Stackers, also
supplied by Al-Iman, in order to manage
SADARA’s container marshaling yard and
will transport payloads that consist of solid
plastics (e.g. elastomers) or liquids (e.g.
butyl). For both Al-Iman and Terberg, the
partnership with MDR and SADARA is a
signature project that highlights customers’
trust and quality awareness in the Middle East.
Furthermore, the deal was secured also due to
Al-Iman’s flexibility to accommodate customer
requirements in a 5-year rental contract, which
includes complete maintenance and repair.
The project boosts Al-Iman’s overall rental
& leasing fleet size to close to 900 active units
in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Since 2014,
Al-Iman has supplied 51 Terberg tractors to
domestic customers who see equipment
rental as a growing trend.

KnightedPRIDE IN HIS TEAM
Gerard: “I’m particularly proud of having
worked with so many good people. When
I joined the department it was quite small,
only eight people. Now there are almost
thirty. In the last fifteen years, electronics
and computers have become much more
important, so now we don’t just have
mechanical and automotive engineers but also
software specialists and project engineers.
The most important thing is to have a good
team. So when we interview someone who
wants to join the department we set them
a technical challenge and assess how they
deal with that. That’s worked really well.
New engineers first spend four weeks in
the Production department. That way they
get to know the people who will be building
the vehicles designed by Engineering. It also
encourages them to visit Production later to
discuss the designs they are working on.”
NEW RESPONSIBILITIES
“In 2007 I was also put in charge of the
Production department. That was a really
interesting time, our production volume had
grown over the years and we planned to
build a second plant. However, when
the economic crisis hit in 2008 the
sales volume dropped temporarily and
that gave us enough breathing space
to completely overhaul the plant at
Benschop instead, and implement an
efficient and ergonomic assembly line.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
“Our products have changed a lot
over the years. Around 25 years
ago our RoRo tractors were selling
well, but there was also a demand
for more basic, cheaper tractors. That
resulted in the development of the YT
yard tractors which we now build in large
“I got a real surprise in 2012, at a
reception to celebrate my 35th year
at Terberg, when I was appointed
Knight of the Order of Orange Nassau.
That was in recognition of my work
at Terberg and voluntary work in
education.”
volumes. Of course, we also kept developing
the RoRo tractors. I think we were the first
manufacturer to give more attention to design
and ergonomics. RT drivers now benefit from
a better view around the vehicle, and greater
comfort and ergonomics, which makes
them more productive. Moreover, they are
proud to drive our vehicles. By continuously
monitoring the market we have managed to
stay in the lead.”
COOPERATION IS ESSENTIAL
“Terberg Benschop is a great company.
I think that’s the result of the excellent
cooperation within the business: sales, product
development, documentation, after-sales,
service and spare parts. Essentially, everyone
works together in a big team. We also
T E R B E R G P E O P L E
encourage people to take responsibility, and
support them so they can do their job well.”
FLEXIBILITY
“The Terberg family has always been very
focussed on customers, they don’t like to say
“no”. Hence we have long offered extensive
options for customisation. By basing our
vehicles on modular designs it’s relatively easy
to modify modules to customer requirements.
I think we are the only shunting tractor
manufacturer offering this much flexibility.”
THE FUTURE
Much as I’ve enjoyed my time at Terberg,
I decided it’s time to retire. I’ve handed
over my job to Theo Rosendal, our new
Manager Production, and to Ronald Van
Zoelen, our new Manager Engineering.
They both know our operations and our
customers’ needs inside out. I’m really
looking forward to going travelling with
my wife, seeing more of my daughters
and granddaughters and doing voluntary
work. I’m grateful to the current and
previous generations of the Terberg
family for having confidence in me and
giving me the opportunity to have such a
great career. I would also like to thank my
former colleagues for all the good times we
have had at work, and the products we have
developed together.” 10
Terberg RT and YT tractors have found their way into steelworks where their robustness and reliability are highly valued. They are well suited to 24/7 operations in these demanding industrial environments. Our range includes the RT403 which is designed for the heaviest applications, up to a maximum GCW of 375 tonnes.

This site uses two Terberg RT283 tractors
with special Seacom chassis for transporting
coils from the production area to the storage
location. The Seacom chassis are equipped
with three coil beds with restraining fingers
that retain even oiled coils when the tractor
makes a turn. This safety feature is an
invention of NLMK. The total weight of the

Confab BRAZIL
Confab is a manufacturer of steel pipes based
in Pindamonhangaba, in the province of Sao
Paulo, and forms part of the Tenaris group, a
leading supplier of tubes and related services
for the oil and energy industries. Confab
manufactures steel pipes ranging from 4 inch
to 85 inch in diameter. The company invested
in five YT182 tractors for on-site pipe handling
operations. According to Mr. Mário Gentile,
Logistic Senior Assistant, Terberg was the
only company that was able to meet their
requirements in full.
The tractors were supplied by Rimac, our
distributor in Brazil. They have a service
base with spare parts warehouse close to
Confab and can therefore provide support
and maintenance at short notice. Rimac has
been our exclusive distributor in Brazil since
2009 and has since supplied over 100 Terberg
tractors of various types to customers in the
country.

Miami welcomes Terberg Tractors Americas
Once we had decided to set up a subsidiary in the Americas, the big question was
where to base it. Just as with our other regional offices (e.g. the Middle East office
based in Dubai) this office would have to have good connections by air.
After an analysis of the locations of our current and prospective customers and
distributors we chose Miami as our base. The city has excellent connections to both
North and South America and provides a good business environment. When looking
for an office and business services providers we received a lot of help from the Beacon
Council (Miami-Dade County’s official business development partnership) and its
members. In December 2014, at the Key ceremony to recognise businesses which have
contributed to the local economy, Christabelle Arguello and Ron van Arkel accepted
the “key” on behalf of Terberg Tractors Americas.
We are certain that Miami is an excellent base for our new subsidiary and we are
looking forward to increasing Terberg’s presence in the Americas.

In June Terberg appointed Global Port
Equipment Americas (part of Forkliftcenter)
as official distributor for Panama. Like
Terberg, Forkliftcenter is a Dutch company
with regional offices in different parts of the
world. The company offers a range of new
and used port equipment. Frank Wouters,
managing director of Global Port Equipment
Americas: “In the past I have been closely
involved with Terberg and therefore I know
the products and people behind them very
well. Terberg fits perfectly into our expansion
plans and the benefit is that we know each
other and the products.”
Pasha Hawaii, headquartered in San Rafael,
California, USA has taken delivery of 9
Terberg tractors (4 RT283 4x4 and 5 TT223
4x2 units). Pasha Hawaii offers containerized
and roll-on/roll-off transport between the
West Coast of the US and Hawaii for a wide
range of vehicles, yachts, heavy machinery,
oversize and other cargo. Pasha Hawaii is

The Pasha Group. The Pasha Group, with
operations at 6 terminals, was established in
1947 and, like Terberg, is family-owned.

T E R B E R G T R A C T O R S A M E R I C A S
The close contact between both companies
has resulted in an order for 5 Terberg YT182
tractors for Palermo in Baranquilla, Colombia.
Palermo Sociedad Portuaria is a new
multipurpose terminal located in the north of
Colombia on the Magdalena River. It combines
an excellent geographical location with a broad
range of services.
Colombia is a new market for Terberg.
A combination of fast delivery time, being
able to adapt to the special hydraulic
requirements, for the special tipping trailers,
and the tractor lay out and ergonomics, have
been deciding factors for the customer to
place the order with Terberg.
Frank Wouters: “It was essential to have
quick feedback to secure this deal. This order
would be difficult to secure without Terberg’s
regional head office in the Americas. Given our
close cooperation, I am certain that this will be
the first of many orders from this region.”
Vessel Operations, explained why he had
chosen Terberg vehicles: “I have been using
Terberg tractors since I started working in
the business 19 years ago. I wouldn’t switch
their tractors with any other brand. I tried
experimenting with it twice and I ended up
regretting both times. Terberg is a top-notch
manufacturer of terminal and RoRo tractors.”
Our new subsidiary, Terberg Tractors
Americas, located in Miami, means that we
can now offer customers such as Pasha an even
better service by keeping more spare parts
in stock locally and reducing the time zone
differences. Mr. Zanellato: “Of course it is
a great advantage that Terberg started their
local operation in the USA. The fact Terberg
is closer is a great help but the availability
of spare parts in the country is of course the
biggest benefit for us.”
16
Many customers rent or lease Terberg tractors, either directly from our subsidiaries or from specialist plant hire companies. The reliability and ease of maintenance of our vehicles make them an attractive choice for rental operators, especially as they also have a good resale value at the end of the rental period.
Growing demand for rented and leased tractors

UK
Terberg DTS has a large rental fleet. Many
customers have multi-site operations and DTS
analyses the operations at each site in detail
to offer the best equipment package. Some
customers prefer to maintain the vehicles in
their own workshops, while others opt for a
contract including all repairs and maintenance.
Many operators supplement their long-term
hire fleet with vehicles on short-term contracts
to cover peak periods.
Robin Johnson, Head of Rental: “At Terberg
DTS, flexibility is the key, acting upon our
customer’s needs, as well as responding
to economical and marketplace peaks
and troughs. Showing commitment and
understanding towards our customers
business’ helps us pioneer solutions for every
operation.”
GERMANY
In Germany, rentals are particularly popular
with large international companies and
Terberg Nordlift now has a rental fleet
of around 200 units. Practically all rental
contracts include vehicle maintenance or a
premium service package and even insurance,
hence customers have certainty about the
operating costs of their fleet. Maintenance
is normally carried out at the customer’s site
to optimise the availability of the vehicles.
Customers appreciate the fact that they get a
new tractor every five years, without having
to worry about selling or trading in their
old unit. Terberg Nordlift recently set up a
new office in the south of Germany, to get
closer to customers in that area. In addition
to the full range of Terberg vehicles, Terberg
Nordlift’s rental fleet also includes Liftec
Translifter trailers.
BELGIUM
Traditionally, most customers in Belgium
preferred to buy vehicles and only large
multinational companies rented them.
However, in recent years the market has
changed significantly and rentals are now an
important part of our operations in Belgium.
Most of our customers rent vehicles for five
years, after which we provide them with a
new tractor. Maintenance is undertaken by
the customer’s own mechanics or by Terberg
as part of an all-in package. Terberg Belgium’s
rental fleet mostly consists of 4 x 2 tractors,
with a growing number of road/rail tractors
which have been well received in this market.
Pieter Sanczuk, Sales Manager, Terberg
Tractors Belgium: “The growing interest in
renting is due to the tax advantages and the
fact that customers are increasingly focussing
on their core business. Furthermore, many
customers are finding it difficult to find
qualified maintenance personnel and prefer to
include maintenance in the rental contract. So
we are looking forward to further developing
our rental operations.”

With the ever changing UK distribution and
logistics sector placing increased demands
on drivers, plus an even greater focus on
operational procedures and health and safety,
Terberg DTS undertook a detailed review of
the market before designing and developing
an all new, market specific, distribution tractor.
With drivers spending more time outside
their cabs due to new trailer designs featuring
barn doors and side park brakes, superior
ergonomics, vehicle access and innovative
safety features were key considerations.
Initially, a full scale mock-up was built and
tested before the world class engineering
team at Terberg Benschop in the Netherlands
started the process of designing this state-of-
the-art vehicle. A DT183LE prototype was then
put into production and demonstrated at user
group meetings for evaluation.
This purpose-built vehicle now positions
the driver and cab closer to the ground for
greater ease of access and operator safety,
and new operational dimensions provide
greater front and rear visibility to the trailer
pin and an improved driver environment.
Only by listening to its customers and using
its unrivalled engineering and manufacturing
expertise were Terberg able to develop the
ground breaking DT183LE.
Following the successful introduction of the
DT183LE to ASDA’s Skelmersdale site, ASDA
have also expressed an interest in sourcing
a number of additional DT183LE’s to work
across their UK operations over the next
twelve months.
In a world exclusive, ASDA Stores, Skelmersdale has taken delivery of the very first Terberg DT183LE – the culmination of a three-year journey involving close end-user consultation and extensive research and development.

great system, a valuable feature on all of our
Terbergs, we wouldn’t be without it. It has
not only dramatically reduced damage to the
trailers, but also to the buildings themselves.

SeatruckUK AND IRELAND
Seatruck Ferries operates three routes on
the Irish Sea, connecting Ireland and the UK.
The company specialises in unaccompanied
freight and offers transport companies the
benefits of efficiency and a young fleet of
12 vessels. As Seatruck Ferries only carries
freight their operations are not affected by
the peak periods of the passenger market,
which helps to offer customers a reliable
schedule. To reduce carbon emissions,
there is a dedicated Ship Energy Efficiency
Management Plan for each of the ferries.
The company bought its first Terberg tractor in
1996, an RT22 which is still going strong after
operating 24,000 hours. With the delivery
of another 5 RT223s, their fleet of 35 units is
now 100% Terberg. These new tractors are
operating at their Dublin terminal and featured
in an article in Seatruck’s corporate magazine.
Because the trailers on the ferries are not
accompanied by tractors, the RoRo tractors
at each of the four terminals are absolutely
essential to loading and unloading the ferries
efficiently.
Ray Dawson, Operations Director, Seatruck:
“We use Terberg tugs because, quite simply,
they are the best 4x4 RoRo tug on the market
today, with their durability, reliability, low
chassis and excellent product support. In
2010 we introduced SAT trestles to two of
our vessels and went to Terberg for advice
on how our tug fleet could be modified, and
again we received all the support and advice to
successfully complete the modifications.”

of which is backed up by a proven support
operation. They literally cannot do enough for
us to ensure that we minimise the downtime of

for well over 20 years and currently has a fleet
of around 150 RT tractors.
Many of these units are used extremely
intensively, operating 3000 or even 4000
hours per year. To increase throughput, CLdN
RO-RO frequently uses double-stacking
which allows a tractor to transport two 20-
foot containers at a time, enabling a quick
turnaround of the RoRo vessel.
Willeke Duits, Director C.RO Tech: “We’ve
had an all-Terberg fleet for a long time now.
We use the tugmasters for loading and
unloading our own vessels, as well as those
of other shipping companies. We’re really
convinced of the quality of the tractors.
Our drivers are also very happy with them.”

“ I have been with Terberg Nordlift from the start”In 2007 Terberg acquired Nordlift, then our distributor in Germany. Terberg Nordlift has since expanded from a staff of 8 to 40 and is now the clear market leader in shunting tractors in Germany. The company is based in Hamburg, Germany’s second-largest city, in the north of the country. Both Hamburg and Lübeck nearby have major ports.

Premises Terberg Nordlift in Hamburg
Director Arno Ortlieb told us more about the
company: “I have been with Terberg Nordlift
from the start, just like my colleague Sven
Langbehn, our Sales Manager. In addition
to Germany we also cover Austria and
Switzerland, so an area with a population of
around 100 million people.
In our markets, the RT tractors are particularly
in demand. About half of them are used for
RoRo operations in ports and the rest in heavy
industry. We have customers in the paper,
steel and wind turbine industry, but also in civil
engineering. That’s because RT tractors, with
their small turning circle and swivelling seat,
work really well in tunnels. Of course, we also
sell all other models, and Body Carriers, for
use with swap bodies, are commonly used here
and in the surrounding countries. Swap bodies
are much lighter than ISO containers and their
dimensions are optimised for European pallet
sizes. Another great advantage is that body
carriers and trucks with adjustable suspension
can easily load and unload them, without the
need for large, expensive container handling
equipment.
Terberg has an excellent reputation in
Germany, because of the high quality of the
vehicles. Our customers love the extensive
options for customisation, so they get a tractor
that’s just right for their application. And that’s
something our competitors can’t offer.
We also supply TTS Liftec trailers and
cassettes which are a perfect combination with
our tractors. These units are used both in ports
and heavy industry.
Our customers want to reduce their
environmental footprint and that means that
Germany and Switzerland are important
markets for the electric version of the YT
tractor. There are quite a lot of these YT202-
EVs in use with leading car manufacturers.
We are also involved with the Green Logistics
project in Munich.
Many international companies in Germany
prefer to rent equipment, and we now have
HAMBURGHamburg has long been a centre of international trade. The city formed part of the Hanseatic
League, a trading alliance which, from the 13th to 17th century, ran from the North Sea to the
Baltic. Although Hamburg is located 110 kilometres inland, the River Elbe allows even large
vessels to reach the port which handles close to 10 million TEU of containers every year. There
are also many industrial companies in the area, such as shipyards and the final assembly line for
Airbus airplanes. Finally, Hamburg is an important centre for tourism.
TERBERG HAS AN EXCELLENT REPUTATION IN
GERMANY
a rental fleet of around 200 units. Of course,
we also service the tractors we supply and we
have recently set up a new office in the south
of Germany, in Bad Rappenau, to get closer to
our customers in that area.”

BMW/SCHERMGERMANY
BMW is renowned for designing and
producing high-quality cars offering drivers
and their passengers outstanding performance
and comfort. SCHERM Gruppe, a leading
international systems service provider,
transports automotive components used at
BMW’s plant in Munich. As both companies
aim to reduce their environmental impact
they are always looking for opportunities to
reduce carbon emissions. Hence SCHERM
invested in a Terberg YT202-EV fully electric
tractor to transport components between
their warehouse and the BMW plant. The
two-kilometre route is on public roads and the
tractor will make eight round trips every day.
Compared with a vehicle with a diesel engine
this will reduce CO2 emissions by almost
12 tonnes annually. Noise and particulate
emissions will also be greatly reduced.
Hermann Bohrer, manager of the BMW Group
Munich plant: “This fully electric truck shows
that we are always working on innovative
solutions and also set ourselves challenges in
logistics. Hence we are looking forward to
cooperating with SCHERM Gruppe.”
Rainer Zoellner, e-truck project leader at
SCHERM Gruppe: “After a long search we
have now found an e-mobility solution for
transport operations. We are certain that,
together with the BMW Group, we will gain
valuable experience from this pilot project.”

GestampGERMANY
Gestamp is an international group specialising
in the design, development and manufacture of
metal automotive components and has almost
130 production plants. The company’s plant
is located in Bielefeld and has approximately
1,400 employees and produces pressed steel
parts for VW, BMW and Daimler.
Gestamp recently purchased a RR222 4x2
tractor for this plant. The unit is mostly used
for handling wagons (rail mode) and Seacom
roll trailers (road mode) carrying coils of steel,
and also for shunting conventional trailers. In
rail mode (20% of operations) the tractor can
handle around 800 tonnes of wagons and in
road mode it handles trailers with payloads up
to 70 tonnes.

Newsolutionsand applicationsTerberg DTS closely monitors developments in the distribution sector in the UK. Due to new inspection regimes and changes in trailer designs, drivers at distribution centres now frequently have to climb in and out of the cabs. This inspired us to develop the DT183LE low entry distribution tractor which you may have read about in last year’s Terberg Magazine. The first units have now entered service and are helping fleet operators to reduce driver fatigue and risk of injury, while also improving efficiency.
After the introduction of the vehicle we were pleased to discover that it is also an
attractive solution for aircraft refuelling and catering applications. Furthermore,
we have received inquiries from markets which are currently using low entry tractors
intended for highway applications and where our DT183LE might be a better choice.
We are very excited that the results of our hard work are so well received.
The interest in our low entry tractor also proves, again, that listening to our
customers pays off!
T E C H N I C A L F O C U S L O W E N T R Y T R A C T O R
The low entry design, and the low noise and vibration level in the cab, significantly improve the driver’s workplace conditions and also promote efficiency.

Rental growth for Terberg in Saudi Arabia
Terberg expands into Saudi Arabia with Al-
Iman for Contracting & Trading (Al-Iman),
who will provide 16 Terberg YT182 Yard
Tractors to Almajdouie De Rijke Logistics
(MDR) for their operations at the SADARA
project in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. SADARA is
a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and
the Dow Chemicals Company, which will
commence production in Q3 2015 and has an
estimated budget of $20 billion, making it
one of the largest chemical plants in the world.
MDR is SADARA’s contractor for the
operation of mobile equipment, which will
be supplied and serviced entirely by Al-Iman.
The yard tractors are designated to be used
in conjunction with four Reach Stackers,
also supplied by Al-Iman, in order to manage
SADARA’s container marshaling yard and
will transport payloads that consist of solid
plastics (e.g. elastomers) or liquids (e.g.
butyl). For both Al-Iman and Terberg, the
partnership with MDR and SADARA is a
signature project that highlights customers’
trust and quality awareness in the Middle
East. Furthermore, the deal was secured also
due to Al-Iman’s flexibility to accommodate
customer requirements in a five-year
rental contract, which includes complete
maintenance and repair.
The project boosts Al-Iman’s overall rental
& leasing fleet size to close to 900 active units
in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Since 2014,
Al-Iman has supplied 51 Terberg tractors to
domestic customers who see equipment
rental as a growing trend.

After Sales support in the Middle East and Africa
With the sale of a tractor comes the
responsibility of supporting it. This is a
responsibility Terberg takes very seriously,
and the reason for setting up Terberg Middle
East FZE in Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates in
2009. This subsidiary focusses on providing
comprehensive sales and after sales service to
our customers and distributors in the Middle
East and Africa. We are unique in the industry
in having both an office and a spare parts
warehouse in the region.
As the number of Terberg tractors in the
region has grown, so have we. Today we
hold significant stocks: around 11,000 parts,
ranging from nuts and bolts to engines,
transmissions and complete drivelines. We
mostly hold fast and medium moving items,
specially selected for the tractors operating
in the region and the requirements of our
customers. Our location in Jebel Ali, in the
same region and time zone as most of our
customers, means that we can deliver most
parts within 48 hours. This also saves on
freight costs, compared with supplying
parts from outside the region. Our central
warehouse in Benschop, the Netherlands,
can ship specialist and slow moving items at
short notice, either to Terberg Middle East or
directly to the customer.
The throughput of our warehouse has grown
steadily over the years, based on our growing
market share and positive customer feedback.
Additionally, we can supply all parts, including
filters, consumables and original components
for tractors from other brands at competitive
prices. This gives our customers the
opportunity to simplify their supply chain.
Terberg Middle East provides technical
service and warranty support to customers
and distributors, backed-up by our colleagues
in Europe. We also provide local and remote
support for all vehicle servicing operations
and in the UAE we offer vehicle servicing
contracts. Some contracts even cover
vehicles based on cargo vessels, as our trained
mechanics, supported by extensive stocks of
spares, can respond quickly and fit in with tight
sailing schedules.

Terberg fleet increases rapidly at PSA Singapore
PORT APPLICATIONS
PSA Singapore is a major operator of YT320
units and other Terberg vehicles. They
currently have a fleet of 80 YT320 tractors
which can handle a GCW of 110 tonnes and
have proven to meet PSA’s strict demands.
TTM recently delivered another 190
YT220MKII tractors to PSA whose fleet now
consists of 567 of our tractors – the largest
Terberg fleet in the world. All these tractors
were produced at TTM’s plant in Malaysia.
The PSA terminals in Singapore have a total
of 57 berths and handle well over 33 million
TEU every year. The large volumes passing
through the port are the result of the city’s
role as a hub between East and West and the
port’s capacity is scheduled to increase to 50
million TEU per year. Singapore is connected
to 600 ports, with daily sailings to every
major port in the world.
PSA was voted Best Container Terminal (Asia)
for the 25th time at the 2014 Asian Freight
& Supply Chain Awards and received the
Port Operator Award at the Lloyd’s List Asia
Awards for the 13th time in 2014. Tourism is
also important and one of PSA’s terminals is
adjacent to the Sentosa Island holiday resort.

Westports is a multicargo port on the Straits
of Malacca with a capacity of 11 million TEU
per year and ambitious expansion plans. A
key element in the company’s strategy is
optimising the number of containers handled
by each crane per hour, to offer container
vessel operators a shorter turnaround time.
This strategy is supported by a matching
investment programme, to become a top 10
port in the world.
Westports Malaysia, the leading terminal
operator in Port Klang, recently ordered 104
YT220 MKII tractors, expanding the fleet to
200 units. Boo Wei Ching, General Manager
of TTM: “The contract reflects Westports’
confidence in our products. This contract is
the first ever lifecycle contract in Malaysia
where TTM is taking the responsibility to
maintain the fleet throughout the expected
lifecycle of the equipment. We believe this
new concept will be a market trend-setter as
it provides peace of mind to the port operators
with qualified and reliable support from the
Original Equipment Manufacturer.” The new
units will be added to the fleet of 180 Terberg
tractors which Westports currently operates.
In addition to the container terminal, Westports
offers marine services (tugs and pilots), liquid
and dry bulk terminals, a break-bulk terminal
and a range of value-added services.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
As part of the TTM corporate social responsibility programme we organised an event at the Al-Firdaus orphanage in Sham Alam, Selengor Malaysia.
The orphanage wat set up in 2010 and
provides a home for 36 children, aged
2 to 12 years. Some of the children are
orphans while others have parents who
cannot look after them due to illness or
poverty. As the home does not receive
funding from the state other organisations
in society have to support it. We visited
this Muslim orphanage at the time of the
Islamic new year.
During the visit, our staff learned about
the children and their lives, and had the
Iftar meal with them and the carers at a
restaurant in the area. All the children
received gifts of colour pencils and
crayons and we organised a colouring
competition for them. TTM also made a
donation to the orphanage to support it.

various models for RoRo operations, as well as
four YT182s.
“We were looking for a special machine that
combined comfort for the operator with real
strength for the special work we do. The
double-stacking of containers for RoRo-
operations works really well thanks to the
RT223s: we can do it safely and save time.
The driver’s cabin is really well thought out
and the special swivel seat is also a help for
the driver for speeding up the operations.
Finally, the tractors are really robust and easy
to understand.”

Asyaport TURKEY
Asyaport is a sophisticated greenfield
container terminal located in Turkey,
developed by Terminal Investment Ltd SA
(TIL). The deep water site is strategically
located as a transhipment hub for containers
destined for the Black Sea. The terminal will
handle vessels carrying up to 18,000 TEU
and will have an annual capacity of around
2,5 million TEU.
Uniquely, all tractors at this terminal will
be powered by LNG (Liquefied Natural
Gas). Asyaport chose this fuel as it
eliminates particulate emissions and leads
to much lower NOx emissions than diesel.
Furthermore, in Turkey LNG is considerably
cheaper than diesel. A local LNG distributor
supplies the fuel to the 60 m³ filling station
located on the terminal.
After consultation with us and our Turkish
distributor, Portunus, Asyaport decided
to invest in 40 YT222 tractors, which were
recently delivered. Servicing and support
will be provided by Portunus. One of the
deciding factors was that we had proven our
capability by supplying a fully operational
LNG-powered tractor for the GreenPort
project in Valencia, Spain. TIL also ordered
38 Terberg tractors for their terminal at
Lomé in Togo, West Africa.

Sanofi Pasteur is the largest human vaccine
company in the world. The company needed
a vehicle for their site close to Lyon to transfer
products between production and storage
buildings. As the area is very dense, with
many delivery locations, it was important to
have a highly manoeuvrable vehicle which
gave the driver a clear view of the area
around the vehicle. Low fuel consumption
and easy maintenance were also important
factors. After a careful consideration of the
options, Sanofi Pasteur selected a YT182 with
a 4,750 mm wheelbase combined with a box
body from a local supplier. They commented
that the tractor contributes to safety on the
site and has a low noise level, and also praised
the effective cooperation between Terberg

improving energy efficiency in ports. It covers
both management aspects, port equipment
(gaining experience with LNG and electric port
equipment) and dynamic terminal lighting. Tests
will be carried out at the ports of Valencia (Spain)
and Livorno (Italy) and a partner in Estonia is also
contributing to the project.
Sea Terminals project in ValenciaSPAIN
The EU is promoting projects to reduce CO2 emissions related to transport. Sea Terminals is an ambitious project which covers an optimised terminal management system, low-emission transport equipment and dynamic terminal illumination.
As part of this project, Terberg will supply a
fully electric YT202-EV tractor to the Noatum
container terminal in Valencia where it will
be tested extensively. It will be used for
routine container handling operations and be
subjected to a strict monitoring programme.
By now this tractor has proven itself both
at distribution centres and in local delivery
applications. We are therefore confident that
it will also perform well in terminal operations.
The Sea Terminals project includes public
demonstration days and will result in a report
on the emission reduction options.
Terberg is pleased to contribute to this project
as it fits in well with our Corporate Social
Responsibility objectives. Some time ago
we provided an LNG-powered tractor for
another project in Valencia, also to reduce
CO2 emissions from port terminals.
