An Ottawa Spotting Tractor is designed so a driver can quickly and easily backup and engage a trailer without leaving the vehicle. It is specifically designed to move trailers in the fastest and most economical way. An operator using an Ottawa spotting tractor can move five trailers in the time it takes an over the road tractor to move one trailer.

The Ottawa has a hydraulic fifth wheel which eliminates the need to crank up the landing gear, saving time, as well as money. The short wheelbase of the machine allows for easy manuverability, even in the smallest yards. Standard with a rear sliding door, which enables the driver to access the trailer's air connections. The half cab design and large windows allow for maximum visibility, with controls mounted to the right of the driver for easy accessibility.
