Flexible and Consistent Value
Our rental plans can be adjusted based on your changing operational needs. This allows you to add more units during peak season and reduce the number of units during less busy periods. As a result, you’ll always have the perfect number of units for your operation. Every yard spotter rental we offer is available at a fixed monthly cost that is easy to track and budget for. This cost can also be written off as an operating expense, allowing you to maximize value without compromising performance.

Why Choose Our Terminal Tractor Rentals?

Powerful, Durable, and Reliable
With options from leading brands like TICO, our yard spotter rentals are built to deliver unmatched reliability. Each unit features a high-performance diesel engine, a strong steel frame, and a thick reinforced bumper. This ensures that every yard spotter can withstand the labors of shunting without issue. It also means that each unit delivers more power and better fuel economy, maximizing productivity. When you need a terminal tractor that can work long hours every day, we’re here to help.

Hydraulic 5th Wheel
Every terminal tractor rental in our lineup is equipped with a hydraulic 5th wheel. This feature allows for easy loading/unloading of trailers, creating a secure connection quickly. By utilizing the 5th wheel, operators can move trailers and containers with confidence. In most instances, they won’t even need to exit the cab to double-check the connection. This ensures a greater degree of productivity and operator comfort, maximizing performance throughout the day.

Enhanced Visibility and Comfort
At Leavitt Machinery, we understand that a comfortable operator is a productive operator. That’s why each of our terminal tractor rentals are designed to deliver exceptional comfort. With features like an ergonomic seat, a high-visibility cab, and air-powered doors, operators remain comfortable all day long. These features also enhance operator confidence and safety, helping to keep the operation running smoothly. Optional features include heating, air conditioning, and multimedia systems.

DOT Certified Options
In addition to our standard yard spotter rentals, we’re proud to offer several DOT Certified options. These models can be insured and driven on the road, allowing for transportation across town or to another city. These units are ideal for operations with multiple facilities in close proximity, or applications that handle distribution. Contact our team today to see if a DOT Certified rental is right for you!
