30 years of KAMAG PrecisionMover – precision in motion since 1995

The KAMAG PrecisionMover (PM), a highly mobile swap body transporter, facilitates the precise manoeuvring of swap bodies, semi-trailers and trailers in the tightest of spaces. What began three decades ago through the first delivery to the Deutsche Post quickly developed into the standard in yard logistics. Thanks to its outstanding manoeuvrability and speed, the PrecisionMover optimises logistics processes and greatly increases efficiency in goods transshipment logistics.

Success guaranteed through innovation and precision

The success of the KAMAG PrecisionMover is based on continuous development and innovation. In the first few years, different Mercedes cabins from the van segment were used in the construction. A milestone in 1999 was the introduction of the ATEGO cab from Mercedes that allowed the swap body transporter to really come of age and set new standards in ergonomics and safety. TII KAMAG also relied on innovations very early on in the tech- nical field. Initially, the swap body transporter was equipped with an automatic transmission. In 1998, the switch to the hydrostatic drive followed which remains the technical highlight of the PrecisionMover to this day. This type of drive enables precise and low-wear manoeuvring, allows continuous forward and reverse driving and thus en- sures maximum efficiency particularly in depots with limited space.

In 2019, TII KAMAG introduced a specially developed modern driver's cab that significantly improved both comfort and safety thanks to its ergonomic design especially through its low entry and excellent all-round visibility. There were also further technical advances such as the hydraulic fifth wheel coupling and hydraulic container locking system which can be controlled directly from the driver's seat. Since 2024, the PrecisionMover has also been available in a hot-dip galvanised version that contributes to improved efficiency and sustainability through its cor- rosion resistance.

Sustainable and resource-saving solutions

Since 2013, TII KAMAG has consistently pursued the path of electrification and sustainable logistics solutions. Through the introduction of the hybrid Wiesel and subsequently the fully electric KAMAG ePrecisionMover (formerly the E-Wiesel), the company was able to meet the growing demand for environmentally-friendly alterna- tives. In 2024, TII KAMAG presented the third generation of the ePrecisionMover which stands out through a more efficient battery, thermal management system and shorter recharging times. The company is thus making an important contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions in logistics and supporting customers on their way to a sustainable future. In addition, TII KAMAG is continually driving forward the automation of yard logistics operations. Feasi- bility studies regarding autonomous solutions for use in depots have been underway since 2018.
