The completely new Kamag PT (PrecisionTractor) development is a tractor unit specially designed for yard logistics. It was developed for ensuring efficient and precise positioning of semi-trailers and container chassis. When developing the Kamag PT, the main focus was placed on safety, the greatest possible maneuverability and reliable use in the logistics yard. Another benefit: the vehicle offers an ergonomically optimized working place.
The new Kamag PT has been specially designed for all handling tasks at haulage companies and logistics providers, CEP service providers, in the retail, wholesale and mail order sectors as well as at manufacturing companies and commercial vehicle rental companies. As a result, Kamag, a subsidiary of the TII Group, is continuing with further development of its vehicle range for yard logistics. The newly developed tractor unit complements the portfolio of yard logistics solutions of the Ulm-based vehicle manufacturer Kamag and replaces the Wiesel truck.
While the Kamag PM, also known as the "Wiesel", is number one among swap body handling vehicles, the Kamag PT now presents itself as a specialist in moving and positioning semi-trailers and container chassis at depots and terminals. Faster maneuvering thanks to a more powerful drive system Kamag engineers have optimized maneuvering processes. Coupling and uncoupling operations will be even faster in the future. A small turning radius and - thanks to the electronically coordinated, hydrostatic drive - continuous forward driving and reversing provide the Kamag PT with precise and efficient driving characteristics.
Field of Vision Increases Work Safety Levels
The new design of the terminal tractor opens up numerous additional advantages for operators and drivers. Hence, the driver's cab, which has been specially redesigned for improved use, offers an even higher level of safety. The enhanced visibility increases work safety and prevents collision damage. Moreover, the driver is also extremely satisfied with a workplace that has been ergonomically optimized according to the latest findings. The cab has direct access to the work platform which leads to a significantly improved workflow. The increase in space behind the driver´s cab also makes it easier to handle the supply lines.
Increased Fifth-Wheel Load Opens up New Fields of Application
Vehicle operators benefit from the increased fifth-wheel load of 28 tonnes at 25 km/h and the hydraulically operated height-adjustable fifth-wheel plate. In addition to depot logistics, the heaviest chassis can also be easily and precisely moved in terminal logistics operations at seaports and airports, rail companies as well as industrial companies in the paper, steel and aluminum industries that are known to have particularly high load requirements.
