Like many other railway companies, Gävle – Dala Järnvägar wanted to reduce the costs of the complex shunting operations with steam locomotives in the 1930s . Therefore, two shunting tractors were ordered from AB Slipmaterial in Västervik , which were delivered in 1933 with the serial numbers 150 and 151 and were given the series numbers Zm 2 and Zm 3 .
