Papé Material Handling is Now a Kalmar Ottawa Dealer in Oregon

Papé Material Handling is thrilled to be the new dealer for Kalmar Ottawa in Oregon. We had previously been awarded the Kalma Ottawa dealer contract in California, and couldn’t be happier to expand our sales territory to both California and Oregon. 

Let’s take a look at these industry-leading terminal tractors and how they can assist your operation.

Meet Kalmar Ottawa

With exceptional durability and state-of-the-art parts distribution, Kalmar Ottawa owners can focus on their operation and not their downtime. Kalmar Ottawa has been operating since 1943, and is known for their invention of the terminal tractor, or Ottawa Truck. 

A leader in the industry,  in 2022, Kalmar Ottawa surpassed the 80,000 production mark worldwide, which is over twice the production value of other terminal tractor competitors in North America. Here at Papé Material Handling, we’re proud to expand our sales territory for these industry-leading terminal tractors designed for the long haul.

Terminal Tractors

Terminal tractors, or yard trucks, offer low-power diesel, alternative fuel engines, or electric motors, and are used and can be used to quickly transport cargo or even semi-trailers across short distances.

With electric and low-diesel options, investing in Kalmar Ottawa terminal tractors can reduce your fuel consumption emissions by 30%. 

Not only are terminal tractors an essential part of your operation, but they’re also fuel-saving and environmentally conscious machinery. Many  of our Kalmar Ottawa terminal tractors sold at Papé Material Handling are DOT/EPA certified, meaning they meet the greenhouse gas and fuel efficiency standards for trucks. 

Our Inventory

We currently carry a wide variety of Kalmar Ottawa terminal tractors, including:
