This Nicolas ASM is a used terminal tractor — also commonly known as a yard truck or spotter truck — offered here from a seller in Poland. Terminal tractors are purpose-built machines used to move semi-trailers around freight depots, container yards, distribution centres, and port facilities, coupling to and repositioning loaded or unloaded trailers with speed and efficiency. Nicolas is a French manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy transport equipment, including multi-axle trailers, modular transporters, and specialised yard vehicles for industrial and logistics applications.
This machine is recorded at just 200 engine hours, which represents very low utilisation for a vehicle of this type. Power comes from a six-cylinder engine, and drive is transmitted through a hydrostatic transmission, a system well suited to the repeated, low-speed manoeuvring that terminal tractor work demands. The unit runs on 285/70R19.5 tyres and has a stated operating weight of 16,500 kg.
Prospective buyers must be aware of two significant conditions disclosed by the seller. First, this machine is offered with no documents, meaning registration papers, CE certification, service records, or any other accompanying paperwork are absent, which may affect its ability to be registered or put to work in certain jurisdictions. Second, and critically, the steering system is currently inoperable, meaning the machine requires repair before it can be used safely. These factors are fully reflected in the asking price of $24,600 and should be carefully considered when assessing the total cost of acquisition and recommissioning.
