XXL Photostudio for all types of vehicles at BAS World
BAS World is an international player in the trade of light commercial vehicles, trucks, trailers, box trucks, and construction equipment, among other things. Every day, large numbers of vehicles are presented online to customers worldwide. This requires both speed and consistency. Manual photography was no longer sufficient: it took too much time and produced inconsistent results. The need for a scalable and efficient solution was growing.
To address this challenge, an XXL vehicle photography studio with an integrated turntable was built. This solution makes it possible to photograph vehicles in a standardized and efficient manner, regardless of size or type. The result is one of the largest and most advanced vehicle photography studios in Europe, where scale, efficiency, and image quality come together.
“We are a trading platform specializing in the purchase and sale of trucks, box trucks, light commercial vehicles, and heavy equipment.”
The Challenge: photographing vehicles efficiently and consistently
With a large and constantly changing inventory of vehicles, photography quickly becomes a bottleneck in the process. Traditional methods were no longer sufficient: manually positioning and photographing vehicles took time, required a lot of coordination, and led to inconsistencies in the final results.
Scale also played a significant role. Trucks and machinery vary greatly in size and shape, making it difficult to maintain a consistent workflow. Without smart support, the process quickly becomes complex and difficult to scale.
The need arose for a solution that not only adds speed but also ensures structure and repeatability in the photography process.
The core of the challenge:
- Long turnaround time per vehicle
- Variation in image quality and camera angles
- Limited scalability of the process
- Reliance on manual operations
The question, therefore, was not only how to make it faster, but above all how to organize it in a smarter and more consistent way.
The solution: an XXL photo studio with a rotating platform
To address this challenge, a fully customized solution was developed that prioritizes automation and ease of use. At its core is an XXL rotating platform that allows vehicles to rotate in a controlled manner, enabling photography from every angle without the need for manual repositioning.
However, the strength of this solution lies not only in the turntable itself. The entire studio is designed as a single integrated system, in which positioning, photography, and workflow seamlessly align. This creates a process that is not only faster but also predictable and reproducible.
How the process works
- Vehicle is placed on the turntable
- Position is automatically centered
- Photography starts using preset settings
- Turntable rotates in a controlled manner
- Consistent images are automatically captured
This ensures that every vehicle is photographed in exactly the same way, regardless of size or type.
One of Europe’s largest vehicle photography studios
What makes this studio special is not only its functionality, but above all the scale on which everything has been designed. The completed solution ranks among the largest vehicle photography studios in Europe and was specifically designed for the efficient photography of trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment.
The combination of size, load capacity, and automation creates an environment where large vehicles can be captured effortlessly and consistently. Everything is set up to combine speed and quality without compromising on control or reproducibility.
Studio specifications
- Built-in turntable with a diameter of 8 meters
- Maximum load capacity of 10,000 kg
- Studio box measuring 13 x 12 x 7 meters
- Lighting grid for even and consistent lighting
- Roll-up door
The result: efficient and consistent vehicle photography
The impact of the new photo studio is immediately evident in BAS World’s day-to-day operations. Where previously a great deal of time and manual effort were required, a streamlined process has now been established that combines speed and quality.
Vehicles are processed faster and captured consistently. This not only ensures greater internal efficiency but also a uniform and professional presentation to customers worldwide.
The concrete benefits:
- Shorter turnaround time per vehicle
- Consistent image quality and camera angles
- Reduced reliance on manual tasks
- A scalable solution that grows with the organization
The result is a future-proof photography process that perfectly aligns with BAS World’s scale and ambitions.
The collaboration
A project of this scale requires more than just technology. It demands coordination, practical insight, and the ability to implement a solution that aligns with day-to-day operations. From the very beginning, the focus was on translating BAS World’s requirements and processes into a concrete and workable design.
Through continuous testing, optimization, and fine-tuning, a studio has been created that is not only technically sound but also seamlessly integrates with the workflow. This ensures that the solution is immediately applicable and adds value from the very first use.
“We found the collaboration with Pre-Motion to be very pleasant. Professional, decisive, and ultimately, we arrived at a solution that is perfect for us.”
