GOLDSCHAMUS relies on KAMAG PT 201
0Manoeuvrability, speed and excellent all-round visibility support safe shunting operations in the confined and demanding yard environment of food producer GOLDSCHMAUS.
To ensure a smooth flow of materials throughout its production site in Garrel, Germany, the GOLDSCHMAUS Group relies on the KAMAG PrecisionTractor 201 (PT 201) from TII KAMAG. One of Germany’s leading meat producers, the company operates a cooperative business model that brings together agricultural enterprises and combines the production of pork, beef and convenience products under one roof. Since spring 2026, the KAMAG PT 201 has been supporting internal logistics operations and has quickly become an integral part of daily yard activities.
At the Garrel facility, food products are manufactured for customers in the retail and food industries. While livestock deliveries arrive by dedicated transport vehicles, efficient internal logistics depend on powerful and reliable shunting equipment. Refrigerated semi-trailers and trailers must be moved quickly, precisely and safely to support production and dispatch operations without disruption.
The layout of the site presents particular challenges. Narrow traffic routes, numerous bends and limited manoeuvring space require both drivers and vehicles to operate with a high degree of precision.
“The challenge is that our yard has a very complex layout with many corners, and we have to make sure that nothing gets damaged,” explains Manfred Meyer, Logistics Manager at GOLDSCHMAUS.
These conditions are exactly where the strengths of the KAMAG PT 201 come into their own. Developed specifically for the rapid movement of semi-trailers and trailers, the terminal tractor combines outstanding manoeuvrability with fast operating cycles and excellent all-round visibility.
Before making its purchasing decision, GOLDSCHMAUS tested four different shunting vehicles under real operating conditions. Employees who use the vehicles on a daily basis were deliberately involved in the evaluation process. Ultimately, the KAMAG PT 201 emerged as the preferred solution.
“The key advantage of the KAMAG PT is definitely its manoeuvrability and speed. Moving these semi-trailers and trailers and positioning them without causing damage would otherwise not be possible. Our shunting operators chose the KAMAG because it was the best vehicle in terms of speed and all-round visibility,” says Meyer.
Thanks to its compact design and excellent visibility, the KAMAG PT 201 enables safe and efficient manoeuvring even in areas where available space is limited. This not only improves productivity but also contributes to safe operations across the entire site.
Since entering service, the KAMAG PT 201 has quickly established itself as an essential tool within the company’s internal logistics processes. “It’s absolutely essential. Without it, operations simply wouldn’t work,” Meyer summarises. By deploying the KAMAG PT 201, GOLDSCHMAUS has optimised its internal transport processes and ensured a reliable flow of goods between production, storage and dispatch. At the same time, the project highlights the growing importance of specialised shunting vehicles for efficient and safe logistics operations within the food industry.
