The Port of Liverpool has taken delivery of 33 Terberg tractor units and trailers worth £2.6million to serve the Royal Seaforth Container Terminal and the new Liverpool2 development.

The YT222 tractors and Seacom 70 tonne trailers were supplied by Terberg and Briggs Equipment.

“It’s very important that we maximise efficiency throughout the port and its two terminals,” said Colin Darroch, head of container operations. “After looking across the market we decided on Terberg’s vehicles as meeting our exacting performance and reliability specifications for the job as well as being cost-effective. We will also be introducing segregated lanes for the tractors and hauliers to further improve traffic flows.”
