HOWO 4x2 Port Terminal Truck

The HOWO 4x2 Port Terminal Truck is a specialized heavy-duty terminal tractor purpose-built for container yard operations, port logistics, and intermodal freight handling. Unlike standard highway tractors, this terminal truck is engineered for the unique demands of port environments — frequent stop-and-go operation, tight turning circles between container stacks, and reliable pulling of fully loaded 40-foot and 45-foot container trailers up to 50 tons gross combination weight.

Powered by the WD615.69E turbocharged diesel engine producing 336 horsepower (247kW) and 1350 Nm of torque, this port terminal truck delivers the low-end pulling power essential for moving heavy container trailers from standstill. The engine is detuned and optimized for terminal duty cycles with an enhanced cooling system that prevents overheating during the constant acceleration and braking typical of container yard operations.

The ultra-short 3200mm wheelbase provides exceptional maneuverability in confined container yards where tractors must navigate between narrow rows of stacked containers. The tight 13.5-meter turning diameter allows the HOWO 4x2 terminal truck to make U-turns in congested yard lanes that would be impossible for highway tractors with longer wheelbases. The reinforced MCY13 rear axle with 13-ton capacity and heavy-duty 90mm fifth wheel coupling handles the constant hitching and unhitching of container trailers without premature wear.

The low-profile HW60 flat-roof cabin maximizes driver visibility when reversing into tight container slots and provides excellent all-around sightlines for safe yard operation. Standard port equipment includes a heavy-duty reversing alarm, LED work lights for 24-hour yard operations, and a reinforced rear protection plate for coupling impact resistance.

For port operators, container terminal managers, and logistics companies seeking a reliable, purpose-built terminal tractor at a competitive price, the HOWO 4x2 Port Terminal Truck delivers proven performance in the world's busiest container ports.
