AL-KO Vehicle Technology is expanding its portfolio with the new MAMMUT GALAXY manoeuvring system. This world-first innovation combines low weight with high speed and precise control. Added to this are a flexible power supply and state-of-the-art technology for comfort-able day-to-day manoeuvring.
Lightweight and fast
With a system weight starting at 25 kg, the MAMMUT GALAXY features a particularly lightweight design. Its low weight provides additional flexi-bility when it comes to the caravan’s payload. When manoeuvring, it reaches a speed of more than 1.0 km/h, allowing the caravan to be moved into position quickly and with precision.
AL-KO VT offers the MAMMUT GALAXY for different weight classes. Variants are available for caravans weighing up to 1,800 kg, 2,500 kg or 3,500 kg.
“Our goal was to combine weight, speed and intuitive operation while creating significantly more flexibility in terms of power supply,” says Jörn von Ahlen, Head of Marketing at AL-KO VT Group.
Precise control in every manoeuvring situation
The newly developed remote control features a clear and minimalist op-erating concept. A precise joystick enables stepless manoeuvring with millimetre-level accuracy.
Three speed settings offer the right level of control for different situa-tions. A colour LCD display clearly shows important information.
Starting, stopping and speed control can be conveniently operated at the touch of a button. An integrated lighting function is also included.
Greater ground clearance for safe manoeuvring
The design of the MAMMUT GALAXY ensures high ground clearance. This means the manoeuvring system remains well protected even on uneven ground or ramps. The MAMMUT GALAXY can negotiate obstacles up to four centimetres high. It can also handle gradients of up to 35%. Fully automatic tyre inflation can be activated at the touch of a button. This ensures the correct tyre pressure and supports reliable power transmission.
12-volt and 18-volt power supply
AL-KO VT also prioritises flexibility when it comes to the power supply: the control unit supports both traditional 12-volt vehicle batteries and modern 18-volt power tool batteries.
The MAMMUT GALAXY is also compatible with the cross-brand Cordless Alliance System (CAS), meaning that existing 18-V batteries from various CAS partners can be used. This makes it easy to swap batteries and re-charge them using suitable chargers. The control unit can be positioned flexibly within the caravan. An integrated service interface enables diag-nostics and software updates.
Efficient technology in a compact system
A planetary gearbox supports the MAMMUT GALAXY’s efficient power transmission. With this technology, AL-KO VT is taking caravan manoeu-vring to the next level.
Pre-orders now open
Following its world premiere at the CARAVAN SALON, the MAMMUT GALAXY is now available for pre-order. The official launch is scheduled for the CMT 2027.
AL-KO VT will provide further information on availability and the market launch in due course.
