The Unimog. The cost-effective transport solution.
Fast and economical for any terrain.
The end of the road is no reason for your transport to come to a standstill: With the pressure resulting from continually increasing costs and
distances, it is particularly important for farmers and private contractors to have fast and efficient transport solutions. When alternating
between field and farm, roads and silos, the Unimog is really able to demonstrate its abilities: safe off-road driving, easy-going on the soil,
fast and safe on the road – all combined with a large payload and high tractive power. The Unimog is capable of completing complex operations with very moderate fuel consumption. That means you get more use for lower costs per kilometre. Economic efficiency that pays.

Cost-effectiveness is the key word when the Unimog is used
for agricultural operations – whether for running equipment or
transporting loads. With up to 40 tonnes overall haulage weight
and thanks to its high payload and handling qualities, the Unimog is able to deal with large capacities and heavy loads both
fast and effectively. Due to its short chassis, it is able to make
optimal use of the maximum transport length of 18.75 m
(61.5 ft.) allowed in the EU – either with several axles or even
with two trailers. Front- and rear-mounted implements can also
be attached and removed very quickly so that the Unimog is
always ready and waiting for a whole range of jobs that may
need doing.

System and implement-carrying expertise.
Carry on working when others have to stand still.
Work efficiently and comfortably all year round. Unimog makes it possible. Its implement-carrying
concept was developed so that you are able to complete your operations economically, powerfully
and efficiently – whether it is for fast transport jobs or for especially economical year-round
operations such as mowing, clearing snow or cleaning.
One system – many possibilities. It is always high season
for the Unimog even when it is not being used for transport
jobs. With up to four attachment and mounting points it is
ready and waiting for each and every kind of job. The quickchange systems with their colour-coded hydraulic connections ensure a fast exchange of many implements – ideal for
a flexible work schedule. The Unimog implement-carrying
concept means that it can be used just as easily at peak
harvest times as for rural conservation or municipal winter
services. Quite simply, it pays to have a Unimog – for all
365 days of the year.
Rear and front power take off. PTOs at the front and rear
are provided for driving implements mechanically. Implements
requiring a great deal of power up to 150 kW can be run off
the front PTO with a load switch which is driven directly by the
engine. An optional rear PTO with up to 120 kW continuous
output and two PTO speeds (540 and 1,000 revs/min) is also
available. Another attractive feature: the height-adjustable
trailer coupling with an 80 mm tow coupling head and the
rear power lift with up to 5 t lifting power. We have a range
of other auxiliary drives for you to choose from for operating
other mechanical implements while stationary.
Operational and power hydraulic. The Unimog has a single
or dual circuit hydraulic system for driving and handling
implements in the lower and medium performance range
– easily controlled by joystick with one hand. And for the
upper performance range, there is the high performance
hydraulic system VarioPower with circuits III and IV.
Infinitely variable. The hydrostatic transmission drive allows
for an infinitely variable adjustment of the working speed
between 0 and 25 km/h (15.6 mph) with a constant engine
speed and it can be easily controlled either by the accelerator or manually. This makes driving easier and the driver can
better concentrate on his work. Simply select the driving or
working mode by pressing the button.

Chassis expertise.
Arrive fast and safely.
Whether on the field or on the road, with the Unimog you get where you want to go without making any
detours. This is due to a chassis concept that is not supplied by any other manufacturer worldwide.
Unusually high ground clearance, very good angles of approach and departure, great stability when not
moving as well as excellent traction and speeds of up to 90 km/h (56.5 mph) on paved roads.
Outstanding handling. The Unimog leaves no room for
doubt with its outstanding off-road capabilities and remarkable degree of comfort. Its high payload and excellent
driving stability also allow larger and heavier mounted implements such as fertilizer spreaders or her-bicide/pesticide
sprayers with a boom length of up to 36 m (118 ft.).
Portal axles provide as much ground clearance as possible,
and the great axle articulation using coil springs makes
sure that all four wheels are in continual contactwith the
10
ground. Should the terrain get really difficult, locking differentials in both axles make sure full power is available.
Four-wheel drive and single tyres. Four wheels of equal
size support the Unimog’s excellent running features and
high traction. The four-wheel drive combines with the multipass effect of the rear wheels running in the front wheel
tracks to provide improved traction. That means there is
less slip, a better performance-area ratio, and lower fuel
costs per acre/hectare.
The central tyre inflation system is easy on the soil and
saves on tyres and fuel. Just press the button, and tire control,
the central tyre inflation system, lets the driver lower the tyre
pressure for just one or both axles while driving and without
leaving his driving seat. This means the Unimog is less likely to
sink into soft ground so that it can use its full tractive power
even on soft terrain. When stationary, the lowered pressure
prevents field damage due to soil compression. Once on the
road, however, wear on the tyres, fuel consumption and sound
levels are decreased with a higher tyre pressure.

Easy to operate and ergonomics.
The operator in the spotlight.
Outstanding visibility of surroundings and mounting points, high safety standards and clearly arranged control elements.
The Unimog’s panoramic cab has everything the driver needs to make his working day ergonomic, comfortable and safe.
Generous headroom and space to move, high standards of soundproofing and insulation, standard air-conditioning,
an integrated parking heater as well as easy-to-operate controls. All of these features help to combat driver fatigue.
Easy changing with Telligent. The Unimog provides just
the right speed for every operation with its easy-to-switch
electro-pneumatic transmission. When driving on roads,
you can save fuel by being in the right gear. The forward/
back Electronic Quick Reverse (EQR) system helps you to
change direction quickly. The working gears (8/8) extend
the speed range to provide the right gear for the job and
increase tractive power. With the crawler gears (8/8), the
Unimog can use extremely slow rates of feed down to less
than 100 m/h (328 ft/h).
Retaining the overview in the cab. The quick-change steering VarioPilot® (optional) means you can sit where you can
see best. The steering column can be moved manually from
left to right so that you always retain a complete overview of
your working area.

Equipped with Safety. The Unimog.
Working safely day after day.
The Unimog also sets standards with its active and passive safety concept: a safety concept that is geared to avoiding
accidents altogether and to minimising the results should an accident actually happen. A whole range of modern safety
systems provides a high rate of accident prevention for the driver and all other road users, making the Unimog a very safe
option for municipal use.
Better view, more safety. With its short implement dimensions in front and wide field of vision, the Unimog makes
sure that the driver is aware of critical situations in good
time. Short implement dimensions are to be understood as
the distance between the front edge of the attached implement and the centre of the steering wheel in the vehicle. In
combination with those front-attached implements certified
by Mercedes-Benz, the Unimog is below the legal limit of
3.5 m. The position of the front seats combined with the
very large windows in the panoramic cab ensure the driver
has a good overall view of his working area.
Control is better. Directional stability and controlled braking
are decisive safety factors – especially on wet, snow-covered
or icy roads. Here the Unimog gives a very convincing performance. With its well-balanced axle load distribution it can
keep its directional stability even if there is a risk of skidding.
Thanks to its standard ABS, during emergency braking the
Unimog can still be steered and come to a precise stop
despite varying surface conditions. The easy-to-use snow
chains or the alternative use of rotating chains make driving under hazardous conditions much safer for the driver.
On the safe side with the Unimog. A relaxed driver can
concentrate better, and that means greater safety. The
driver’s place in the Unimog has therefore been designed
with particularly low vibrations: a fully spring-cushioned
chassis, a four-point sprung-mounted cab and an air-sprung
driving seat keep the vibration strain low. As work vehicles
run a relatively high risk of rear-end collisions because of
their low working speed, the Unimog also has very effective impact protection. Should an accident actually occur,
the ballast weight and the sturdy frame of the vehicle with
its platform body make sure that the impact is absorbed
and greatly reduced before reaching the driver’s seat.
Three-point safety belts and headrests also provide additional protection. Further information can be found online
