Good news for folks who spend their work shifts hitching/unhitching trailers: Motrec has just launched its reinvented MT-350 tow tractor. In addition to offering vastly smoother suspension and steering, the new MT-350 also promises to make precision hitching safer and easier than ever – even when working with multiple trailers.
“Long-time fans of this precision-hitching workhorse will be happy to know that the MT-350 is still a rugged, low-to-the-ground AC-powered vehicle able to tow up to 16,000 lbs. But the latest generation now also boasts – among many other things – standard rear suspension with leaf springs and shock absorbers to minimize impacts for operators, and a steering pivot on sealed ball bearings instead of bushings to eliminate maintenance and make steering easier.”
– Jocelyn Gagnon, Eng., Director of Engineering & Innovation

“Our new MT-350 was redesigned with extensive input from end-users, who told us what they were looking for in terms of comfort, safety, performance and easy operation. That valuable input allowed us to create what is probably the best vehicle in the industry for tasks involving towing multiple trailers and frequent hitching.”
