KAMAG is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the PrecisionMover (formerly known as “Wiesel”), which has been contributing to the logistics industry since 1995.

30 years of KAMAG PrecisionMover – precision in motion since 1995

16 Ocak 2025 Perşembe 16:12

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.

Wide-ranging success and customer satisfaction

The success story of the KAMAG PrecisionMover is not limited to Germany. As early as the late 1990s, TII KAMAG began to develop markets throughout Europe. Long-standing customers include well-known large corporations, system logistics specialists, parcel service providers and freight forwarders. The reliability and durability of the PrecisionMover have made it a permanent fixture in the logistics industry. Today, the KAMAG PrecisionMover is the leading swap body transporter and over 2,500 vehicles are in use throughout Europe. A close-knit Europe-wide network of sales and service partners guarantees fast and reliable support – in Germany alone, there are 14 ser- vice partners and numerous service points that have been specially trained in PrecisionMover technology.

Future-oriented logistical solutions

Even after 30 years, the KAMAG PrecisionMover remains a symbol of technological progress. Looking to the future, TII KAMAG continues to invest in its research into autonomous vehicles and solutions for electromobility. The company is determined to continue to shape and influence yard logistics in the coming decades through sustaina- ble innovations. “30 years of KAMAG PrecisionMover is not only an important milestone for our company but also for the entire logistics industry,” explained Godehard Eidenhammer, Head of Sales Yard Logistics at TII KAMAG. “We are proud of our success story and look forward to continuing to play an active role in shaping the future of logistics.”
