Terminal tractor efficiency


A Daysworth termianl tractor at the Centurion Transport facility.

Two Daysworth terminal tractors have made significant productivity improvements on Centurion Transport’s loading docks.

Purchased recently as replacements for two older model workhorses, the Daysworth Ottawa model 50 terminal tractors are delivering fast, reliable trailer movement for the company as it manages a busy daily schedule.

Centurion has maintained a growth strategy over the past decade and recently opened a new $40 million freight terminal and workshop facility in the Perth suburb of Hazelmere.

With other depots located in Kununurra, Broome, Port Hedland, Carnarvon, Derby, Karratha, Newman, Tom Price and Kalgoorlie, the company runs more than 600 pieces of equipment with its on-road fleet dominated by triple road trains and B-doubles.

As the movement of road trains through Perth is restricted, trailers are broken down and reassembled after loading at a marshalling area north of the city.

The mining boom has generated huge demand for Centurion’s freight services and the company now registers hundreds of truck and trailer movements through the yard daily.

The terminal tractors prime role is to manoeuvre trailers from the park site for loading and unloading. They are running 10 hours a day, six days a week and are making in excess of 100 trailer movements each day – in the vicinity of 50 to 60 each terminal tractor each day.

The drivers have been very impressed with the Daysworth’s drivability, visibility and cabin with easy access rear sliding door for trailer hook up.

The ergonomically designed Daysworth Ottawa cabin features an air suspension seat, safety grab rails, a generous rear non-slip deck and a high cab roof with 50 per cent more visibility and stand-up headroom compared to other brands.
