The Gold Standard in Terminal Tractors & Yard Spotters

New Kalmar Ottawa Trucks for Sale

Q: Do I need CDL to drive a Kalmar Ottawa yard truck?

If you are operating an Off-Road model exclusively on private property, a CDL is generally not required. However, if you are operating a DOT/EPA Certified model on public roads, the driver must possess a valid Class A CDL.

Q: What is the difference between a DOT and an Off-Road model?

DOT/EPA certified models are equipped with the necessary lighting, braking systems (ABS), and emissions-compliant engines required for legal operation on public highways. Off-Road models are purpose-built for private yards and ports, offering a more cost-effective solution for facilities that don't require street use.

Q: How does the Kalmar Ottawa T2 EV perform in cold weather?

The T2 EV is equipped with an Active Thermal Management System. Unlike standard electric vehicles, this system keeps the battery at an optimal temperature, allowing the truck to operate efficiently in extreme conditions ranging from -22°F to 122°F.

Q: How many trailers can a Kalmar Ottawa move per hour?

While results vary by yard layout, Kalmar Ottawa trucks are designed to move trailers 3 to 4 times faster than a standard over-the-road tractor. Features like the automatic 5th wheel lift allow drivers to hook and unhook without ever leaving the cab or cranking landing gear.
