The Unimog.
More power for fighting forest fires
and disaster intervention.
The Unimog Concept.
Getting through where others give up.
Where even four-wheel drive trucks reach their limits, a totally different kind of work and
tractor vehicle has to take over: the Unimog. It redefines versatility and viability on four
wheels. The Mercedes-Benz Unimog is a vehicle in a league of its own. It provides solutions
which no other vehicle worldwide can offer. The Unimog is much more versatile than any
other vehicle with its attachment and mounting areas at the front, middle and rear. It is
also much more at home on off-road terrain than any other vehicle, and can drive at
fast speeds on roads as a transporter. The Unimog is an uncompromising professional for
­uncompromising professionals. It is streets ahead in every situation and on any terrain,
such as for fighting forest fires and disaster intervention.

The Unimog Concept.
Unimog Technology.
Whether muddy forest humus or scree: with the Unimog you always arrive at your destination. This is
due to its chassis concept – not to be found with any other manufacturer worldwide – which ups your
operating strength into a totally different category: exceptional ground clearance, favourable angles of
approach and departure, great stability, extremely good climbing ability, excellent traction and a top
speed of up to 90 km/h on paved roads.

all the time – thanks to the long shock courses of the coil-sprung suspension.
Portal axles. The Unimog’s portal axles are designed with
the axle tubes and differentials higher than the centre of the
wheel. This means you benefit from unusually high ground
clearance and can easily drive over even larger obstacles.
By having a reduction gear at the gear hub, the full torque
takes effect on the ground providing increased traction when
crossing difficult country. In addition, the axle steering guide
with integrated stabilizers gives the Unimog great directional
stability and reduces any tendency to roll and pitch.
Four-wheel drive. The Unimog comes with four-wheel
drive technology which cannot be compared with any other
system. On the one hand, engageable positive ­differential
locks in both axles ensure minimum slippage and maximum
traction; on the other hand, the long shock courses of its
coil-sprung axle suspension ensure that all four wheels
always have surface contact.
6
Single tyres. Unlike normal four-wheel drive trucks with
twin tyres fitted at the rear axle, the Unimog has four ­single
tyres. The rear wheels always run in the ­compressed tracks
created by the front wheels. This provides higher traction
and less rolling resistance due to the interlocking of the tyre
profiles. The large surface contact area of the tyres is easy
on the soil by providing lower ground pressure, thus reducing
field damage.

More safety for both vehicle and crew: Its heat shield and self-protection
system allow the Unimog to drive right up to the source of the fire.
Transmission. The full-synchromesh electro ­pneumatic
transmission (Telligent) featuring eight forward and six
reverse gears is renowned for being extremely easy to use,
smooth running, long life span, great efficiency and being
perfectly designed for a wide variety of jobs. The synchromesh quick reversing system EQR (Electronic Quick Reverse)
makes it easy to change directions quickly, for instance
when rocking free off-road. And a special off-road transmission with an additional eight forward and reverse gears
guarantees maximum traction at very low speeds from
1 to 30 km/h. As an option, the ­automated transmission
AutomaticShift is available for product ranges U 400/U 500
and U 4000/U 5000. Perfect for complete concentration
when driving on-road, but with a manual mode for flexible
off-road driving.
Coil-sprung axle suspension and thrust tube technology ensure that
all four wheels stay on the ground.

The Unimog U 4000/U 5000.
Perfect for extreme terrain.
The unique off-road capabilities of the Unimog U 4000/U 5000
still have to be surpassed: Its high performance frame concept
provides great rigidity for on-road driving and enormous torsional flexibility off-road; its superior four-wheel drive concept
with thrust tubes and positive differential locks for both axles
together with its portal axles ensure outstanding ground clearance. Whether in woods or deep snow, through floods, bogs or
scree – the Unimog makes sure that crew, materials and heavy
equipment get to the work location fast and safely.
Driving through water up to 0.80 or 1.20 m is
child’s play for the Unimog U 4000/U 5000.

by pressing a switch while driving.
Torsional flexibility. The unsurpassed off-road capabilities of
the sturdy Unimog U 4000/U 5000 lie in the torsional flexibility of its frame with tubular cross members. It guarantees
very stable driving on the road, but at the same time provides high torsional flexibility during off-road driving. This is
provided by three-point mounting for cab, engine and transmission as well as defined installation points for ­attachments
and bodies all of which allow the Unimog to cope with torsional flexing of up to 30° without ­difficulty. And the frame’s
short overhang comes into its own over steep angles of
approach and departure. The low curb weight of the ­chassis
means it can carry heavy payloads of up to 8.2 t.
Fording. Water courses or flooded areas are no obstacle
for the Unimog U 4000/U 5000. In the standard version it
has a fording depth of up to 80 cm due to its thrust tube
technology, air-intake pipe at the height of the cab roof and
waterproof technical units. And the optional fording system
allows you to confront water depths of up to 1.20 m with no
trouble at all and perfectly safely as transmission and axles
are protected from seeping water and powdery sand.
Tyre pressure control system. Just one more advantage
for off-road operation with the Unimog U 4000/U 5000: the
optionally available tyre pressure control system T­ irecontrol.
While on the move it is possible to adjust the tyre pressure
to the type of ground, in one or both axles: Easily and quickly,
at the push of a button. ­Reducing the tyre pressure enlarges
the tyre’s surface contact, prevents sinking into soft ground
and improves traction. This is easier on the soil, saves fuel
and also distinctly increases the life of the tyres.

Hydraulic System and Auxiliary PTOs.
Hydraulic system. The powerful hydraulic system has a
working pressure of up to 240 bar which can run an oil-driven
engine or external controls. This means that it can be used
for running permanent consumers as well as for activating
implement operations via valves fitted on the implement.
Standardised couplings make swapping connections easy
and fast without making a mistake. As an option, the front
attachment area can be fitted with winch brackets for
attaching a hydraulic front winch.
Auxiliary PTOs. The Unimog U 4000/U 5000 is ­provided
with a high speed PTO for use with commercially ­available
hydraulic pumps. This means that it can be used as a compact off-road mobile crane for rescue or relief ­operations or
be used with an attached excavator. ­Another very high speed
PTO is available for connecting fire extinguisher pumps or
similar units. The auxiliary PTOs can be switched on and off
when the Unimog itself is not running.
The U 4000/U 5000 can provide special equipment ex factory including PTOs suitable for setting up heavy cranes.

More safety ex factory. The Mercedes-Benz heat shield
for the Unimog U 4000/U 5000 includes a safety package
specially developed for fire services. It enables the Unimog
to drive close to the source of the fire or even briefly through
the fire itself. This means that the Unimog comes up to
the high standards required by the European Fire Services
Standards EN 1846, Class S3 for heavy off-road vehicles.
These standards are already taken into account, tested and
approved during the development and construction of the
vehicles – that is one-stop-shopping of the very best without
any conversions at a later date.
and technical components of the Unimog U 4000/U 5000
have been given additional mechanical protection.
The Mercedes-Benz heat shield includes special fire-proof
sheathing for all essential electric and pneumatic functions,
hydraulic leads and fuel lines. Also, all the important units
1.A steel shell protects the AdBlue tank and catalytic
converter from mechanical damage from outside.
2.The air dryer is shielded by a steel casing. It is also
installed at a higher level to give it greater protection
from mechanical damage from outside.
3.All the brake components are also mechanically protected
all round. They are arranged so that they are easier to
access with a permanently mounted body. The brake relay
valve has been given a metal casing instead of the standard
synthetic casing.
The rear air chambers have been moved from the frame
supports to under the brake unit supports and are ­protected
by a metal casing. An additional advantage: the new position
gives body manufacturers a freer hand when designing the
body.
4.The battery is protected in a steel casing from heat and
mechanical damage from outside.
5.All the connections for important electric and pneumatic
functions, hydraulic leads and fuel lines are either made of
steel or provided with special fireproof sheathing.

Driver Cab and Ergonomic Aspects.
Comfortable and functional steel cab.
Relaxed working. The short-bonnet cab of the Unimog
U 4000/U 5000 provides a fantastic all-round view –
especially when driving cross-country. The cab is positioned
behind the engine and its three-point mounting on rubber
elements cushions vibration and jolts. As the ­seating is positioned behind the front axle a comfortable trip is guaranteed
even over bad roads and rough country.
12
The cab can be fitted with optional air-conditioning.
Lower or larger. Because of its low height, the standard
driving cab is perfect for driving through low access heights.
An enlarged cab is available as an option and it provides
even more stowage space and freedom of movement; the
seats can be adjusted individually and the completely level
cab floor makes it easier to pass from one side to the other.
Both cabs can be fitted either with individual or double seats.
Clear to read, easy to operate: The Unimog U 4000/U 5000
instrument panel is firmly installed on the steering ­column,
making it really easy to read irrespective of the driver’s position. The clearly structured information system for the driver
provides all the important information he needs. All the
operating controls for transmission and implement operation
are installed in logical clusters on the central console, easy to
reach and easy to understand.
The double cab of the Unimog U 4000/U 5000 provides enough room for up to seven people.
Being as versatile as possible on the job. The optional
round roof hatch of the Unimog cab makes the crew’s job
safer as it allows them to fight the fire directly from the
safety of the vehicle. The double seat at the rear of the cab
is simply folded down and serves as a safe area to stand on.
Ideal for task forces and crews. The Unimog U 4000/U 5000
in the special version with a double cab provides room
for up to seven people and ensures plenty of legroom and
headroom, even with helmets on. Four i­ndividual seats with
air-suspension are available as an option. The integrated
air-conditioning or optional parking heating makes sure there
is a comfortable working ­temperature for every situation.
Generous stowage is available in the three large compartments under the fold-downable rear bench. Tools, protective
equipment, and the crew’s personal belongings are easily
stowed away safely, but at the same time always handy.
Other storage compartments are to be found in the central
console and in the pockets of the front doors. The wide
opening angle of the rear doors allows passengers to get in
and out easily even in touch-and-go situations. On request,
the double cab is also available in a tilt-forward version.
One other advantage of the double cab: the additional
square second roof hatch at the back for airing and
ventilating the cab.
Generous stowage space under the fold-downable rear seat.
Your advantages at a glance:
•Low vibration due to cab’s three-point mounting
•Optional high-roofed double cab with four doors
and four or seven seats
•High headroom even when wearing helmets
•Easy to climb in behind the front axle
•Plenty of stowage for equipment and protective
clothing
•Round roof hatch for fighting fires from the vehicle
•Good visibility when driving both on and off-road

The Unimog U 400/U 500.
The professional implement carrier.
The Unimog U 400/U 500 has three attachment areas as
well as one mounting area, also with three possibilities.
In other words: it is a uniquely ­variable ­platform for combinations of various implements for very different purposes.
That is what makes it so cost-effective – not just as a fire
truck but also as a universal implement carrier for very
economical all year round operation.
The Unimog U 400/U 500 is famous for
its outstanding off-road performance.

Panoramic cab. With its deep windscreen and steeply
angled bonnet, the U 400/U 500 state of-the-art panoramic
cab offers an unimpeded view of the area in front of the
vehicle, as well as of the coupling points or attached
implements, thus making working safer. Deep side windows
combined with the large rear window offer an outstanding
all-round view of all working zones, when attaching and
detaching implements or during operation.
System and implement-carrying expertise. The strength
of the Unimog U 400/U 500 lies in its concept as implementcarrier. It has three attachment areas: the front mounting
plate for implements run off the front PTO such as frontmounted sweepers or snow cutters, or between the axles
and at the rear. The additional mounting area of the Unimog
U 400/U 500 has three options: Existing implements can
be installed on the body or fitted directly to the ball-type
fastening points and permanent bodies or seasonally
changing implements can be fitted directly onto the straight

side members of the U 400/U 500 frame. Its high maximum
weight of up to 15 t means that the Unimog U 400/U 500 has
especially high payload reserves.
Recovery service. Rescuing derailed rolling stock is an
important task for railway operators. And it is also a job for
the Unimog. Acting as a train, it reliably takes the rescue
crew directly to where they are needed – first by road and
then for the final straight by rail: Here the narrow gauge and
the retractable rail guide allow the Unimog to travel along
the rail track – the motive power comes directly via the vehicles wheels. When used as a recovery train, the Unimog also
carries hydraulic equipment to get the train back on track as
well as equipment such as generators or welding equipment
which can be run directly off the Unimog’s front PTO or the
auxiliary PTOs. As an option, the road-rail Unimog can also
be fitted with a torque converter to provide the extremely
strong traction needed for instance when re-railing derailed
rolling stock.
Off-road capability. As a genuine Unimog, the U 400/U 500
can do everything a Unimog needs to be able to do in off-road
conditions. Its portal axles and permanent four-wheel drive
play their part just like the off-road reduction gear or the
optional tyre pressure control system Tirecontrol.
Hydraulic system. The powerful hydraulic system is crucial
to the Unimog’s high workload when operating multiple
implements. With two circuits each in the working hydraulic
and power hydraulic circuits, the Unimog U 400/U 500 is
able to run a total of four hydraulic circuits used independently of one another at the same time – the ideal starting
point for the Unimog’s versatile operations.

The Unimog on the Job.
Rescuer, firefighter, recovery specialist and
protector – both on and off the road.
It has not rained a drop for weeks. One spark is all it takes
and soon whole regions are threatened by a flaming inferno.
And the dictate of the moment for all the professional forest
firefighters is: every second counts. And their Unimog –
thanks to its unparalleled dynamics and powerful striking
power during off-road operations – is the ideal vehicle of
choice in those regions of Europe with an extremely high
fire risk. Everywhere in regions away from paved roads
where fires have to be contained quickly and effectively,
the Unimog makes effective use of its strength. From
Germany to Portugal, from France to Croatia.

Germany:
Over 23,000 forest fires have been registered in ­Germany
since 1990. One of the regions most at risk is ­Brandenburg.
This is due to its extensive pine woods and sandy ground.
As a result, the EU Commission has put B
­ randenburg in the
highest European forest fire ­category. This German state is
therefore on par with Southern France, Corsica, Southern
Spain and Portugal as far as fire risk is concerned.

based on the Unimog U 5000: With 5,000 litres of water,
fast intervention equipment, foldable water cannon on
the roof and Unimog heat shield installed ex factory to
EN 1846 and XPS 61-518 standards. A further special
feature: The torsion-free mounting of the body allows
extreme twisting of the chassis up to 30° axle articulation. The tyre pressure control system Tirecontrol
prevents the heavy vehicle from sinking into the sandy
ground in Mark Brandenburg.

Fighting forest fires in Italy is mainly tackled by the State
Forestry Department. This makes use of all Unimog product
ranges with various exchangeable bodies so they are frequently used all year round, i. e. for instance with municipal
hydraulic systems or for winter service. In addition, the
Unimog is also used by municipal fire services:

The Unimog for
Disaster Intervention.
When every second counts, the Unimog can make the most
of its unique potential as it is able to do so much more than
any other vehicle. Uncompromising and reliable technology
makes it a universal tool which helpers in critical regions all
round the world would not like to do without. Even where
there are floods, the Unimog gets through as it is able to ford
depths of up to 1.20 m.
22
Fire, water or earthquakes in inaccessible areas, ­accidents
in tunnels or on railway tracks – sometimes the most ­difficult
task proves to be getting to the trapped ­people. The Unimog
can cope with any obstacles – ­whether as a road-rail vehicle
for recovering rolling stock, a specialised tunnel recovery
vehicle or a fast transporter with ­hydraulic connections for
recovery equipment – and of course, also as an off-road
first-aid ambulance with up to four stretchers.
There seem to be more and more natural disasters,
where tonnes of snow, slush or scree block the roads or
cut villages off from the outside world. But the Unimog still
manages to get through with its ­uncompromising four-wheel
drive, powerful engines and versatile ­implements and equipment so that technical services, doctors or fire services can
quickly follow. Clearing and cleaning implements can be
attached quickly and easily – from snow cutters and ploughs
to sweeping and spraying units. From the first to the last
minute the Unimog plays its part.

The borderline between crisis and catastrophe can be
very fine. To overcome the one and prevent the other it is
necessary to have a team of men and machine that work
well together. For years the Unimog has been standing
on the front line. Whether it involves earthquakes, forest
fires, floods or whirlwinds, the tasks waiting to be done
are similar: protection, rescuing, recovery operations, care,
clearing the way and cleaning up. Fire services, police,
technical assistance and relief organisations all rely on
the Unimog’s extreme reliability, off-road capabilities and
versatility. Day after day. All over the world.
The right equipment has to be taken fast and safely to where
it is needed. Here the Unimog can really make the best use of
its talents. For instance, during a flood, with its fording ability
through water from 0.80 m (standard) of up to 1.20 m (optional)
deep; or driving over soggy dykes with the tyre pressure control
system which increases the surface contact area of the tyres,
improves traction and thus protects the sensitive top of the
dyke. This means that the Unimog can take helpers safely to
the critical area, bring necessary provisions for the population
as a transporter, act as a mobile workshop or a mobile command headquarters.
Power package: The Unimog uses its own hydraulic system to run rescue
equipment such as shears and expanders.

Economic Efficiency and
the Environment.
The heart of the Unimog – its modern Euro 5 engines
which combine efficient power development, low fuel
consumption and exemplary environmental compatibility.
They give the Unimog its power of up to 210 kW. And at
the same time you have the choice between a driving and
working mode, depending on the job. What is particularly
pioneering is BlueTec, the Mercedes-Benz diesel technology. SCR diesel technology doesn’t just optimize your
fuel consumption; it also reduces pollutant emissions and
easily comes up to the European exhaust standards Euro 5 –
without needing an additional diesel particle filter.
24
Reliability. Direct injection, three valve technology, turbo
charger, intercooler, high torque increase, wide constant
performance range and high performance reserves: with
low-maintenance Euro 5 engines you have state-of-the-art
technology – and are equipped perfectly for very varied
operations. Performance potential: from 110 kW (150 hp)
to 210 kW (286 hp).
Uncompromisingly Clean with Euro 5.
Transmission. With its electro pneumatic gear unit with up
to 24 forward and 22 reverse gears for speeds ­ranging from
0.1–90 km/h – the Unimog can produce optimal engine
performance wherever needed: both on the road or for your
implements.
Engine control. The right engine characteristic just by
