Tractor Rental in Pelham, AL

Single Axle Tractor

Single axle tractors are flexible vehicles that have one set of rear axles. These tractors are popular for urban city deliveries because they are more fuel-efficient and easier to park than tractors that have more rear axles.

Tandem Axle Tractor 

A tractor that has two sets of rear axles right next to each other is a tandem axle tractor. This extra rear axle adds stability to the tractor while driving on high-speed highways, and it increases the payload capacity that the truck can carry. These tractors are ideal for heavy loads or long-distance freight.

Sleeper Tractor 

A sleeper tractor can be either a single axle or tandem axle tractor, but the one difference between a sleeper tractor and a day cab is that a sleeper tractor has a compartment called a “sleeper cabin”. The sleeper cabin will at minimum have a bed for the driver to rest in, and could even include kitchen items like a microwave and refrigerator, or even a bathroom. The sleeper cab is perfect for long-haul trips that allow the driver to avoid the disruption of having to find and pay for nightly accommodations over a multiple-day trip.

International 

The Navistar International Corporation is a company that was originally started in 1902, but have changed over time and were renamed to their current name in 1986. This company is known for high-class and fuel-efficient trucks that are high-performing and built for heavy-duty jobs. Their line of tractors includes the International Prostar and the International LT625.

Mack 

Tractors made by Mack are built to be efficient and trusted with some of the heaviest loads in all industries. Founded in 1900 in Greensboro, North Carolina, their reputation has helped keep them as a top choice for many industries over the past century, especially in the construction and petroleum industries which can be seen using Mack tractors such as the Mack Pinnacle or the Mack 600.

Volvo

Volvo tractors are used worldwide and are well known for providing transportation services for a well-rounded portfolio of freight. The Volvo tractors are also popular because of their innovative technologies as well as their aerodynamic designs that increase profitability with higher per gallon fuel efficiency. A good example is their Volvo VN series.

Long-Distance Hauling

Tractors are great for long-distance hauling due to their high payload capacity and increased stability on high-speed highways with their extra axles. Combined with this, the wide variety of sleeper cab tractor options and large fuel tanks make these trucks great for multi-day long-distance hauling needs. 

Heavy Duty Freight 

Tandem axle tractors provide extra power and stability to carry some of the largest trailers that typically have a larger cargo area than any singular truck can provide. For this reason, tractors are able to single-handedly transport heavy-duty freight because of the extra power and stability while moving around.

Construction 

Tractors are used in the construction industry for many purposes, but one popular purpose is for transporting heavy equipment like fully built homes, lumber, and other machinery that would otherwise have to be transported and smaller loads less efficiently.
