Used Yard Spotters for Sale

What Is Yard Spotter Equipment?

Yard spotters are semitractors that move cargo containers and trailers around the jobsite without depending on a semitruck. While semitrucks are designed for long hauls on the open road, yard spotters make short, repetitive movements in tight areas to move cargo around as needed.

These machines have dual wheels in the rear and a hydraulic lifting wheel to change the trailer’s position. Yard spotters can move several trailers at once and can handle more weight than conventional tractors.

Reasons to Add a Used Yard Spotter to Your Fleet

A yard spotter will give your operations these advantages:

• Cost savings: Yard spotters typically cost less than equipment like semitrucks. Since they are used at the jobsite and do not navigate on the open road, yard spotters have fewer maintenance and repair needs, saving your company money over time.
• Enhanced safety: Yard trucks improve operator safety compared to using semitrucks. These equipment options provide better visibility and reduce repetitive motion when cranking the landing gear.
• Simple operation: Unlike semitrucks, which require specific licenses, yard spotters are suitable for anyone to operate so long as they only run the machine on the jobsite. This simplicity allows any of your personnel to use the yard spotter when their tasks call for it.
• Improved productivity: Yard trucks help you save time and money by transporting large loads and maneuvering in compact jobsites with ease. High load capacities mean fewer trips.

Industries That Benefit From Used Yard Spotters

Yard spotter trucks are useful in various industries due to their efficiency and versatility, including:

• Warehouses
