New 4X4 ro-ro tractors for Port of Liverpool

The Tugmaster units, which are specially designed for heavy haul ro-ro operations, will be deployed at the Liverpool terminals where they are now on site.

The tractors boast powerful 4×4 drive and 165 tonne gross combined weight (GCW) capacity and are designed to cope with heavy work in the most challenging conditions of port operations.

David Huck, head of port operations for Peel Ports Mersey, said: “This latest investment in operational equipment will significantly improve the Ro-Ro capability of the port to the benefit of our customers and end-users and is in response to this growing sector”.
