Port tractors

Leaders of the port world and recognized for their reliability, their robustness, their ease of exploitation and maintenance, Mafi port tractors can be used in ports and in the industrial world.

MAFI port tractors can tow up to 90 tonnes by tackling your trailer directly on the hot seat or through a swan neck for the Rolltrailers.

SNM is at your disposal to study and advise you by offering tailor-made suitable for your activity.

The maneuver of large containers is a basic operation of port handling or even other sectors of activity (industrial zones). This operation implies constraints specific to the environment and the workload.

To meet these constraints, our SNM Heavy Handling provides you with its range of Port tractors from the Mafi brand , designed for the comfort of operators and effective port logistics.

Speed ​​of loading and unloading

While the coupling of a container trailer with a road tractor (more commonly known as truck) requires manual operations on the part of the driver, or an additional employee, the coupling to the port tractor and its hot seat is almost automatic. The driver does not even need to get out of his cabin, especially since the hot seat rises to lift the trailer, which cancels the need to fold the feet of the latter. For operations requiring the manual intervention of the driver (connection of electrical wires for refrigeration containers), the design of the machine ensures a large space of separation between the cabin and the trailer, therefore easy and fast gestures.

As a result, the coupling and starting maneuver is two to three times faster. This aspect is crucial in port logistics , where the containers must be moved by only a few hundred meters, or a handful of kilometers, which represents a large number of coupling/decoupling operations during the day.

Outstanding maneuverability

Port tractors are designed to facilitate the logistics and the maneuver of containers in binding environments, as is the case with a port area filled with mountains of containers, giant cranes and other obstacles. Their turning radius is even lower than that of a city car! This guarantees a fluid process and a great precision of maneuver, especially when the trailer is placed.

In addition, the giant bay windows with which the cabin is equipped with excellent visibility to the driver, which ensures the precision of maneuvers and the detection of obstacles.

Workplace

Capable of towing up to 90 tonnes, our port tractors are able to ensure intensive maneuvers throughout the day, or night, inside the work area.

Maintenance of the powerful diesel engine is facilitated by the accessibility of mechanics (tilting cabin). In addition, MAFI tractors engines require little maintenance.

SNM Group port tractors

SNM Group is a company that specializes in handling and lifting. It offers lifting equipment such as cranes, lifting carts and aerial work platform s. SNM Heavy Handling port handling equipment , including the logistics tractor . The maneuver and logistics of containers is an essential operation of port handling or even other sectors of activity (industrial zones). This operation implies constraints specific to the environment and the workload.

Why use a port tractor in your logistics zone?

It is possible to harness the trailer directly on the harness of the port tractor , or to harness it using a collar-cygne. This port machine is equipped with new technologies allowing it to be effective and fast in order to carry out the task in all ease. To do this, it has a robust engine allowing it to pull a trailer without momentum with a load of up to 90 tonnes. It is important to note that sometimes using another traction device, it can be difficult to move a loaded trailer without momentum, or the machine in question may have trouble advancing what leads to wasting precious time , especially in the field of logistics. With a port tractor , you can be sure to carry out the task in all ease and without having a waste of time.

Port tractors with outstanding maneuverability

Port or logistics tractors are not very bulky, which allows you to store them with ease, but also to be able to maneuver in reduced spaces. This is an important point to take into account, because in logistics areas, and especially in containers' storage areas, the lack of space may prove to be a difficulty for many devices. But the port tractor is so handy that it will allow you to sneak yourself everywhere without having to fear to remain blocked. But its greatest asset, it is of course its ability to tow trailers loaded with very heavy equipment. If you too want to discover this port machine , do not hesitate to contact us for any further information.
