Louisville Switching Blog

This past Saturday we invited our employees, friends, and family members to come out to our facility to enjoy some great food and music. The purpose of the gathering was to celebrate our company's growth, and in particular, to dedicate our newly purchased parts and sales building.

Louisville Switching is your source for all things Ottawa, and that includes the parts you need to keep your yard trucks running their best. Today we are going to talk about the Pneu Quick Release Valve (part #9002954), a crucial part of keeping yard trucks operating at full capacity.

Louisville Switching Truck Sales has some exciting news that we're happy to share with our customers and followers. This past year has been one of tremendous growth for our business. To facilitate the expansion of all areas of our business, we've purchased the property next door to our existing location at 7400 Intermodal Drive. We are excited about this move and the potential this new space offers our company. We believe that God's hand was involved with this acquisition and we wish to honor Him as we expand the business into this building.

In the time it takes a typical semi truck to drop off a trailer, which is around six minutes and twenty-seven seconds, an Ottawa Yard Truck would have already moved three complete trailers. Is that the kind of increased productivity your company is looking for? If those statistics seem intriguing, consider these other features.

As much as we try to forget it, the fact of the matter is that snow and ice are on the horizon. For Louisville and surrounding counties, this winter has been estimated to have heavy snowfall and colder than normal temperatures. While you're out and about enjoying the beautiful fall weather, it's hard to ignore what might be in store for us in just a couple short months.

Louisville Switching is happy to share with our customers a maintenance manual Kalmar/Ottawa has put together for Ottawa 4×2 and 6×4 Terminal Tractors.

Available in both English and Spanish, this maintenance manual has descriptions of the features and location and operation of the components. Diagnostic and repair procedures are included along with schematic diagrams of the electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic circuits. There is also a table of specifications and a schedule for preventive maintenance.
