yard tractor
Shunting vehicles tend to be railway related whereas the vehicles quoted here seem to be more for industrial yard operation. The Terberg website refers to "yard tractors" so perhaps you could use this as an initial term then provide an explanation in the body of the text to indicate that the trucks are used for freight handling/transportation.

: I prefer "shunting vehicle". "Fahrzeug" can be a vehicle or wagon, or it can be a locomotive.
