TII KAMAG further develops its proven transport concept
TII KAMAG is introducing a new generation of the KAMAG Slag Pot Carrier (SPC), further developing its proven transport concept for use in steel mills.
The new model specifically addresses the requirements in the payload segment from 60 t to 100 t in the U-frame version and from 40 t to 120 t in the platform version, replacing the previous SPC in this class.
At the centre of the redesign is the comprehensively updated prime mover, serving as the central core module of the SPC. The customer-specific trailer unit continues to be configured according to individual application requirements. For higher payload ranges of up to 170 t, the established large prime mover design from TII KAMAG remains an integral part of the portfolio.
A key focus of the new generation is the redesigned cab. It offers increased space, improved visibility of the working environment and load, and a clearly structured control layout. The ergonomically designed, step-type access facilitates safe entry into the cab during daily operation. In addition, enhanced cab and seat suspension help to reduce operator fatigue during long shifts in demanding steel mill environments.
Service and maintenance accessibility has also been specifically improved in the new SPC model. Key components such as the engine cooling unit and electrical cabinet are significantly easier to access. The newly structured filtration system with electrical contamination indicator supports condition-based maintenance and helps to minimise downtime while improving overall vehicle availability.
The vehicle architecture has been further refined in terms of safety. The design of the prime mover is almost flush with the cab, improving lines of sight and reducing potential blind spots. Combined with the safe step-type access, this results in an overall higher level of safety for operation in complex steel mill environments.
A particular feature of the new generation is the further developed U-frame version. Design optimisations have resulted in a significantly shorter and more compact vehicle, specifically suited for older and space-constrained steel mill layouts. This enables precise manoeuvring in confined areas and expands operational capabilities in facilities with limited infrastructure.
“We develop our industrial vehicles consistently from real-world application requirements. The new SPC generation is a clear example of this approach: it addresses specific challenges from daily steel mill operations and translates them into a more compact, safer and more maintenance-friendly solution,” explains Jochen Samulski, Head of Technology Metallurgy & Special Vehicles at TII KAMAG.
The new SPC model can be equipped with additional options such as extended lighting packages, fire suppression systems or tyre pressure monitoring systems. This allows the vehicle to be tailored precisely to specific requirements within the steel mill environment.
With the new generation of the Slag Pot Carrier, TII KAMAG continues the ongoing development of its solutions for in-plant heavy transport. The model is now available and, particularly through the more compact U-frame version, offers extended application possibilities in existing steel mill environments. Delivery of the first units is already scheduled for the second half of 2026.
