Goldschmaus Adds KAMAG PT 201 for Yard Logistics

German food producer GOLDSCHMAUS is using a KAMAG PrecisionTractor 201 to handle internal trailer movements at its production site in Garrel, Germany.

The PT 201 entered service in spring 2026 and is used to move refrigerated semi-trailers and trailers between production, storage and dispatch areas. The site’s narrow traffic routes, numerous bends and restricted manoeuvring space place particular demands on shunting equipment.

Before selecting the KAMAG unit, GOLDSCHMAUS tested four different yard tractors under operating conditions and involved its shunting operators in the evaluation.

“The key advantage of the KAMAG PT is definitely its manoeuvrability and speed,” said Manfred Meyer, Logistics Manager at GOLDSCHMAUS. “Our shunting operators chose the KAMAG because it was the best vehicle in terms of speed and all-round visibility.”

The PT 201 was developed for rapid movement and positioning of semi-trailers and trailers in confined industrial and logistics environments. Its compact dimensions and wide field of vision are designed to allow operators to manoeuvre loads precisely while reducing the risk of contact with surrounding infrastructure.

For GOLDSCHMAUS, the vehicle now forms part of the daily flow of refrigerated trailers across the Garrel facility.

“It’s absolutely essential. Without it, operations simply wouldn’t work,” Meyer added.

The deployment highlights the role of dedicated terminal tractors in maintaining efficient yard operations where trailer movements must be completed quickly within restricted spaces.
