Yard Spotter Refurbishment Program

Extend the Service Life of Proven Equipment

Terminal tractors are designed for demanding yard environments where uptime and reliability are critical to daily operations. Over time, even the most dependable equipment experiences wear from continuous duty cycles.

Our Yard Spotter Refurbishment Program restores used terminal tractors to reliable operating condition through a structured inspection and rebuild process. Refurbishment provides fleet operators with an additional equipment strategy—extending the life of proven assets while maintaining dependable yard performance.

For many operations, refurbishment offers a practical way to maintain fleet capacity while managing capital investment.



A Practical Approach to Fleet Management

Fleet operators evaluate equipment decisions based on operational requirements, lifecycle costs, and long-term asset planning. In some cases, new equipment is the best solution. In others, refurbishing an existing unit can deliver years of additional service while maintaining dependable performance.

  • Extended service life for existing equipment
  • Lower capital investment compared to new equipment purchases
  • Continued use of proven drivetrain platforms
  • Simplified maintenance and troubleshooting
  • Reliable performance for demanding yard applications

Comprehensive Refurbishment Process

Each refurbishment begins with a detailed inspection and mechanical evaluation. Units are disassembled and inspected to determine required repairs and component replacements.

  • Full mechanical inspection and assessment
  • Structural and frame repairs as required
  • Engine and drivetrain service or rebuild
  • Hydraulic system service
  • Electrical system inspection and repair
  • Brake, steering, and suspension component service
  • Cab refurbishment and interior updates
  • Body preparation and complete repaint
  • Final assembly and operational testing

Refurbishment Timeline

A typical refurbishment is completed within 60–80 days, depending on the condition of the equipment and the scope of the rebuild. This schedule allows our technicians to complete a thorough inspection, repair process, and final testing to ensure reliable performance in demanding yard operations.


Equipment Solutions for Every Operation

As a dealer for new Capacity terminal tractors, we support customers with both new equipment and refurbishment options. Each operation has unique requirements, and equipment decisions often depend on fleet strategy, operating conditions, and capital planning.

Whether the right solution is new equipment, refurbishment, or a combination of both, our goal is to help customers maintain reliable yard operations with equipment that fits their needs.


Refurbishment Process: From Evaluation to Delivery

  1. Initial Evaluation – A detailed inspection assesses structural condition, mechanical systems, and component wear.
  2. Disassembly and Inspection – Key components are removed and evaluated for repair or replacement.
  3. Mechanical Rebuild – Major systems including engine, drivetrain, hydraulics, braking, steering, and electrical systems are restored.
  4. Structural and Body Restoration – Structural repairs are completed followed by body preparation and repainting.
  5. Final Assembly and Testing – Units are reassembled and operationally tested prior to delivery.

Is Refurbishment the Right Option for Your Fleet?

Refurbishment may be a strong option when:

  • The core structure and frame remain in good condition
  • The unit has proven reliability in your operation
  • You want to extend service life while managing capital investment
  • Maintenance teams are already familiar with the equipment platform
  • You need additional fleet capacity without long lead times

New equipment may be the preferred option when:

  • You want the latest technology and features
  • The existing unit has significant structural damage or excessive wear
  • Your operation requires updated emissions systems or specifications
  • Fleet strategy calls for a full replacement cycle
