Sea Ports & Container Terminals
High‑density shuttling of 20ft/40ft containers between ship, stacking yard, and gate. The short wheelbase and low cab height give excellent visibility.

Rail Yards & Intermodal Hubs
Efficient transfer of containers from train to storage or truck. Electric models ideal for indoor rail sheds and emission‑controlled zones.
“Our fleet of 25 HOWO HOVA terminal tractors has logged over 50,000 hours each at the Port of Mombasa. They start every time in tropical heat and handle 55‑ton loads effortlessly. The Sinotruk Terminal Tractor is the backbone of our yard.”
– Jane, Operations Director, Kenya“We switched to Sitrak C7H terminal tractors for our European rail hub. The ZF transmission and air cab have reduced driver fatigue significantly. Great value compared to Mercedes.”
– Klaus, Logistics Manager, Germany“The electric terminal tractor is a game changer for our indoor warehouse. Zero emissions, very quiet, and the 3‑minute battery swap keeps us running 24/7. Highly recommend.”
– Maria, Green Port Project Lead, Spain“We bought the HOWO TX diesel terminal tractor for our small port in the Philippines. It handles rough pavement and 40ft containers effortlessly. Parts delivery is fast. Very happy.”
– Carlos, Port Superintendent, PhilippinesWhy the Sinotruk Terminal Tractor is Changing Container Yard Economics – Every hour a terminal tractor is down, your port loses productivity. Sinotruk has designed the Sinotruk Terminal Tractor for the highest uptime: heavy‑duty chassis, proven drivetrains, and modular electronics that are easy to diagnose. The HOWO HOVA model is built for low‑grade diesel and extreme dust – ideal for emerging ports. The Sitrak C7H brings European cab technology and ZF transmissions to demanding high‑speed yards. But the real breakthrough is the electric version: with fast charging or battery swap, you can eliminate diesel costs and emissions entirely. Many operators report up to 50% lower energy cost per container move compared to diesel. All models feature a tight turning radius, low cab height, and wide‑angle mirrors for safety. We can also supply terminal tractors with remote control for automated yard operation (optional). Our global aftermarket network ensures that any wear part – from brake pads to fifth wheel jaws – is available within 48 hours. Whether you manage a small intermodal depot or a mega‑port, a Sinotruk Terminal Tractor will increase your throughput while lowering your operating budget.
