The Unimog - MB Servis
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 and tractors can’t go any further, a totally different kind of work and tractor vehicle has to take over: the Unimog. It gives a new definition of 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 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. Contents Unimog model range Chassis expertise Transporting crews Protection and safety Fighting forest fires Disaster intervention Easy to operate and ergonomic Economic efficiency and the environment Worldwide service 4 – 5 6 – 7 8 – 9 10 – 11 12 – 19 20 – 21 22 – 23 24 – 25 26 – 27 Helps when nothing else can The Unimog knows what intervention teams need. Thus, when it comes to innovative technical features it has the edge on any equivalent vehicle. This applies to the especially compact Unimog U 20, and all the more to the outstandingly versatile Unimog U 300/U 400/U 500 and the highly mobile Unimog U 4000/U 5000. What the last two model ranges in particular have in common is their excellent performance over any kind of terrain. Numerous individual details contri bute to this: innovative frame designs, single tyres, portal axles, a tyre pressure control system and state-of-the-art Euro 5 engines and transmission technology. 4 Dynamic. The Unimog U 4000/U 5000. Exceptional off-road manoeuvrability for the most difficult jobs and special heat protection ex factory – this is what the Unimog U 4000/ U 5000 stands for. The flexible ladder-type frame with tubular cross members guarantees tremendous rigidity on the road – and extreme torsional flexibility off-road. The double three-point mounting for bodies and attachments allows the frame to twist in off-road conditions without exerting addi tional stress and strain on the mounted bodies and attachments. The optional heat protection equipment specifically developed for fire departments affords optimum operational safety and complies with class S3 of the European firefighting standard EN 1846 for cross-country vehicles. Versatile. The Unimog U 300/U 400/U 500. For jobs requiring maximum flexibility, the Unimog U 300/U 400/ U 500 fits the bill perfectly. A compact and professional offroad implement carrier perfectly designed for a whole variety of purposes. With four body and implement attachment areas, standardised implement interfaces and drives and a heavy-duty mechanical front PTO – all perfectly coordinated. In addition, the comfortable cab provides great freedom of movement for a crew of up to three, as well as a fantastic view of all traffic and working areas – thanks to its high seating position and large front windscreen and side windows. Compact. The Unimog U 20. With its short wheelbase the U 20 is especially manoeuvrable – its turning circle is only 12.6 m. And with an overall height of just 2.7 m and a vehicle width of only 2.15 m, it comes through almost everywhere. Permanent all-wheel drive, portal axles and coil springs ensure maximum traction, outstanding ground clearance and greatest possible stability. The U 20 is outstandingly well suited for all-year use as a universal implement carrier – even in touch-and-go operations off paved roads. Unimog model range 5 Chassis expertise Whether muddy forest humus or scree, thanks to its chassis expertise, you always arrive at your destination with the Unimog. Not to be found with any other manufacturer worldwide, its chassis concept brings a totally new dimension to your operating strength. Unusual ground clearance, favourable angles of approach and departure, highest stability, extreme climbing ability, excellent traction and a top speed of up to 90 km/h on paved roads. Nothing could be more mobile. Ramp angle 44° 38° 51° Angle of approach and departure 45° Slope climbing ability 1.20 m 44° Fording depth Fording. Many regions of Europe are threatened by forest fires – and by flooding. The fording system for the Unimog U 4000/U 5000 protects all important components against penetrating water or moisture and dirt. Up to a depth of 1.20 m. 6 1. Wheel-hub drive 2. Centre of wheel 30° 3. Centre of axle 1 30° 30° 30° 2 Tyre pressure control system. Another advantage for off-road operation with the Unimog: the optionally availa ble tyre pressure control system Tirecontrol. While on the move it is possible to adjust the tyre pressure to the ground, in one or both axles. Easily and quickly, at the push of a button. Reducing the tyre pressure enlarges the tyre contact patch, prevents sinking into soft ground and improves traction. This goes easier on the soil, saves fuel and also distinctly increases the life of the tyres. 3 Portal axles. Thanks to portal axles, the Unimog’s axle tubes and differentials are higher than the centre of the wheel. The effect? They provide unusually high ground clearance and can easily drive over obstacles of up to 50 cm. In addition, the location of the axle by longitudinal control arms with integrated stabilisers gives the Unimog great directional stability and a r educed tendency to roll and pitch. Four-wheel drive. Traction is everything – Unimog offers an all-wheel-drive concept which is without compare. The technical principle: Portal axles ensure excellent ground clearance off-road. Coilsprung axle suspension plus thrust tube technology ensure optimum ground contact and protect the propeller shafts from obstacles. Engageable diffe rential locks in both axles guarantee minimum slippage and maximum traction. Typical Unimog! Chassis expertise 7 Transporting crews The crewcab for the U 4000/U 5000 provides everything to make a hot operation as comfortable and safe as possible for both driver and crew. As many as seven persons can be comfortably accommodated. The Unimog with crewcab also offers generous stowage space for tools, protective equipment or personal belongings of the occupants, as well as maximum headroom and legroom. 8 Ideal for task forces and crews. The Unimog U 4000/ U 5000 in the special version with a crewcab has space for up to seven persons. Combined with maximum legroom and headroom, even with helmets on. Also, four air-sprung individual seats are an available option. Generous storage space is available under the fold-down rear bench with its three large compartments. Tools, protective equipment, and the crew’s personal belongings are easily stowed away to be kept safely, but at the same time always to hand. 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 crewcab is also available in a tilt-forward version. One other advantage of the crewcab: the additional second roof hatch at the back. Greatest possible flexibility on the job. The round roof hatch (as an option) 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 second bench at the rear of the cab is simply folded back, providing everybody with a safe area to stand in. Your advantages at a glance: •Low-vibration three-point mounting for the cab •Optional high-roofed crewcab with four doors and four or seven seats •Plenty of headroom even when wearing helmets •Easy to climb in behind the front axle •Plenty of storage space for equipment and protective clothing •Round roof hatch for fighting fires from within the vehicle Transporting crews 9 Protection and safety When the forest burns, every firefighting operation is tricky. The Unimog gets through even in extreme heat. With the Mercedes-Benz heat protection for the Unimog U 4000/ U 5000, you are very well protected against fire. The Unimog thus offers highest functionality and operational reliability. 10 3 4 Protected components 1.AdBlue® tank and catalytic converter 2.Air dryer 3.Air chambers and brake unit supports 4.Battery 5.Cables, fuel lines 2 5 1 More safety ex factory. The Mercedes-Benz heat protection system for the Unimog U 4000/U 5000 comprises a protective package specifically developed for fire departments. With it the Unimog meets the requirements of the European firefighting standard EN 1846, class S3 for cross-country vehicles. The features already are taken into account in the development and production of the vehicles, tested and approved – a one-stop service without sub sequent modifications to the vehicle. The Mercedes-Benz heat protection involves the sheathing of all lines relevant to vehicle operation. In addition, all important units and technical components of the Unimog U 4000/U 5000 are mechanically protected. 1.A steel shell protects the AdBlue® tank and catalytic converter from damage from outside. a dvantage, the new position gives body manufacturers more leeway when designing the body. 2.The air dryer is shielded by a steel casing. In addition, its arrangement gives it special protection against external influences. 4.The battery is protected in a steel casing from heat and mechanical damage from outside. 3.All the brake components are also mechanically protected. They are arranged so that with a permanently mounted body they are easier to access. 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. As an additional 5.All lines crucial to the functioning of the vehicle – electric cables, pneumatic and hydraulic pipes and hoses, fuel lines – are either made of high-grade steel or provided with special fireproof sheathing.

A single spark will suffice to threaten a whole region with a flaming inferno. Now every second counts. The professional firefighters must get to the point of trouble as fast as possible. But it’s often kilometres away. Bad road surfaces, dif ficult terrain, large forest areas, deep snow – with the Unimog you operate successfully in extreme terrain. Thanks to its unsurpassed dynamics and excellent off-road capabilities, it is the ideal first intervention vehicle in regions seriously threatened by fire. An added Unimog plus for o perations right at the source of the fire: unrivalled equipment options for the most varied requirements. From the system for self-protection against heat radiation to the 6,000 l water tank. Fighting forest fires 13 Germany. The EU Commission has assigned Europe’s highest forest fire alert level to Brandenburg. The German state with its extensive pine forests is thus classed on the same risk level as South France, Corsica, South Spain and Portugal. Reason enough to put together specialised firefighting units and equip them with a tank water tender for fighting forest fires, the TLF 20/50 “Brandenburg” built on the basis of the Unimog U 5000 with its i ncredible offroad capabilities. Among other things the vehicles carry 5,000 litres of water for firefighting, are outfitted with rapid intervention equipment, a folding water cannon on the roof, and the Unimog heat protection system fitted at the factory in Wörth. This system meets not only the requirements of the European standard EN 1846, but even exceeds those of the French XPS 61-518 standard. In addition, the Brandenburg Unimog has a few more special features: the double three-point mounting for the body permits taking optimal advantage of the extreme torsional flexibility of the Unimog chassis with its axle articulation of as much as 30 degrees. Almost taken for granted now: the tyre pressure control system Tirecontrol – a great help on the sandy ground typical of Brandenburg because it effectively prevents the heavy vehicle from sinking into the soil. France. The more than 150,000 km2 of forest lying between Corsica, Côte d’Azur, Provence and Bordeaux are a constant source of danger for man and beast. Forest fires are a constant threat here, particularly in the densely populated tourist areas along the coast. Over 1,000 Unimog are used in the French firefighting service. The most popular is the Unimog U 5000. A perfect intervention partner for firefighting on the front line with a tank capacity of 6,000 l – or with 4,000 l tank and crewcab for up to seven firefighters. A common characteristic of the Unimog vehicles at work in South-West France is that they are all designed as fire-resistant firefighting trucks. 14 This means that the vehicles are equipped above and eyond the prescribed heat protection and compulsory b self-protection system for all French forest firefighting trucks, enabling them even to drive through fire. Also, the Unimog is equipped with a practical roof hatch allowing the firefighter to extinguish fires without leaving the cab. Spain and Portugal. There are 250 Unimog vehicles in the firefighting service on the Iberian peninsula. As a crew carrier with crewcab or as a patrol vehicle. Mountains, forests, long distances: when fighting fires the Unimog’s off-road qualities can be exploited to the full. Many fire departments also treasure the Unimog U 400 or Unimog U 500 for winter services; as a rescue vehicle during catastrophes or for technical support. Its legendary life span, dense service network and rapid 24-hour spare part supply make the Unimog the first choice for intervention teams in Spain and Portugal. Italy. For over 30 years, Unimog has been working closely with renowned body manufacturers in Italy. Equally impressive is its portfolio of vehicles used for forest firefighting. Thanks to its compact dimensions and good value for money, the Unimog U 20 already does service in several regions of Italy, with tank capacities up to 2,200 l. In operation also are: the Unimog U 300 with a tank capacity of 1,500 l, the U 400 with 2,400 l and the U 500 with 5,700 l, all fitted with up to three hose reels and a high-pressure water pump (240 l/min at 60 bar). In addition, the Unimog U 4000 with its interchangeable drop side body or winter service equipment and a tank volume of 2,400 l and the Unimog U 5000 with a maximum tank capacity of up to 5,000 l have proved effective. Three different models ranges with one big advantage in common: all forest firefighting attachments can be exchanged in just 15 minutes – and then the Unimog is ready to take on a completely different kind of work. For example dealing with oil or cleaning up the street after an accident. This is where flexibility is essential. Fighting forest fires 15 Cyprus. The extensive forests around the Troodos mountain range and the limestone mountain range along the north coast are important nature reserves and favourite tourist destinations, but hot dry summers and strong winds make the region extremely prone to forest fires. These conditions also make it the ideal place for the Unimog U 500 – thanks to its superb off-road characteristics, its high payload and its equipment perfectly tailored to various operating conditions. For example: the Unimog with floor jets – used either to protect the Unimog itself or to fight grass and ground fires. Croatia. The vegetation along Croatia’s almost 2,000-km-long coast is seriously threatened by forest fires in the summer. A great danger for the area’s main source of income – tourism – and plenty of work for the fire department. Their job: to detect fires early, get to the source of the fires quickly, stop them spreading and then extinguish them. To get to often inaccessible places safely requires vehicles with maximum off-road capabilities. That is why many Unimog from all three model ranges are to be found in service throughout Croatia. On the one hand, straightforward forest firefighting vehicles with a pump and large water tank. On the other hand, Unimog vehicles equipped with a wide selection of bodies and imple- ments to make them versatile enough to cope with a wide range of operating conditions all-year-round. Vehicles like the Unimog U 20 and U 500. Owing to its particularly compact dimensions and manoeuvrability, the Unimog U 20 proves its value every time, not only fighting forest and surface fires, but also on assignments in the narrow streets of Croatian towns. And the Unimog U 500, equipped with a tank for 2,700 or 3,800 l water and 200 l foam with a combined normal and highpressure pump. For maximum extinguishing effect with minimum use of water and foaming agent the U 500 with 2,700 l water use the CAFS (Compressed Air Foam System) technology that injects compressed air into the foam and water mixture. Fighting forest fires 17 Czech Republic. Whether in winter, when the snow in the Sudeten Mountains often lies metres high, or during the dry summer months. In the Czech Republic the extremely competent off-road Unimog is always in its element as a powerful firefighting vehicle. As for instance, in the Trutnov Fire Department with a region covering around 1,200 km2 of vast forests, remote villages and even remoter farms, and hardly any paved roads. It is here that the Unimog U 5000 gets the chance to demonstrate its top performance with a cab for a crew of seven, high payload, unbeatable four-wheel drive and high ground clearance. The tank has a capacity of 3,000 l water and 400 l foam, plus a pump that delivers 40 bar at 250 l/min 18 high pressure and 8 bar at 2,400 l/min low pressure. The backrests of the rear seats are fitted with special breathing apparatus while an electric self-recovery winch is fitted at the front of the vehicle. The overall weight of this Unimog U 5000 is 14.1 tonnes. Not a gram too much for the Trutnov Fire Department commander. He is delighted with his fleet’s “flagship” and its off-road capabilities. The body is designed to make the Unimog U 5000 a real all-rounder which can be used effectively during the whole year, even in urban areas, as well as for fighting forest fires. The Baltic States. The timber industry is of extreme importance in the Baltic States. It is an important source of income for the aspiring national economy but is a c hallenge with drawbacks. The forest regions are extensive and sparsely populated, and the roads rarely have paved surfaces. Additionally, access is frequently blocked by small rivers or streams. The fire departments are therefore quite certain about one thing: for this kind of country the Unimog, with its outstanding off-road skills, is the best vehicle for their firefighting operations. Thanks to its fording depth of up to 1.20 m, for instance, or to its tyre pressure control system. It also guarantees the best traction on the often sandy soil of the Baltic States. The Unimog for disaster intervention When every second counts, the Unimog can use its potential to the full, because it can do much more than any other vehicle. Uncompromising and reliable technology turns it into a universal tool, which rescuers in crisis regions all round the world would not like to do without. With its fording depth of up to 1.20 m the Unimog makes good headway even on flooded roads. 20 Fire, floods or earthquakes in inaccessible regions, accidents in tunnels or on rails – sometimes the most difficult obstacle is getting to the trapped people. The Unimog, however, can overcome any hindrance. As a road-railer for salvaging railway rolling stock, as a specialised tunnel rescue vehicle, or as fast intervention vehicle with hydraulic interfaces for rescue equipment. And, of course, as an off-road first-aid ambulance with up to four stretchers. Nature shows its destructive side more and more often. Tonnes of snow, mud and rocks block roads and isolate communities from the rest of the world. With its uncom promising four-wheel drive, high-performance engines and versatile implement attachments, the Unimog quickly clears the way for technical support vehicles, doctors or fire departments to follow. The specially designed clearing and cleaning implements can be quickly attached – from snow cutters and snow ploughs to sweeping and spraying systems. From the first minute to the last – the Unimog is indispensable. Always ready for action. The threshold between crisis and disaster can be razor-thin. In order to master the one and to prevent the other, you need a tight-knit team of man and machine. For decades the Unimog has been at the front line. Whether earthquakes, forest fires, tidal waves or whirlwinds, the work is similar: to protect, rescue, salvage, supply, evacuate and clean up. Fire departments, police, technical support and aid organisations all depend on the Unimog’s great reliability, off-road capabilities and versatility. Day after day. All over the world. In a crisis, every second counts. The right equipment needs to get to the disaster area fast and safely. And this is where the Unimog is right in its element. Take floods, for instance, with its fording capability up to a depth of 1.20 m. Or negotiating sodden embankments with the tyre pressure control system, which increases the tyre contact area, thus protecting the sensitive crown of the dyke. The Unimog is thus able to take its support team safely to the crisis zone, supply the population as a transporter with all the essentials as well as to act as a travelling workshop or mobile headquarters. Disaster intervention 21 Easy to operate and ergonomic The driver’s cabs of the Unimog have everything to make the driver’s everyday work as ergonomic and safe as possible. The air conditioning and the independent heater give him a comfortable atmosphere to do it in. 22 120 mm 120 mm Direct comparison: the optional enlarged cab (left) and the standard cab (right) Relaxed working even when the day is long. The location of the cab behind the engine and the three-point mounting of the cab on rubber elements help to dampen vibrations and jolts and provide for a relaxed working atmosphere. Low or enlarged – it’s your choice. The low overall height of the standard driver’s cab is optimal for passing under low structures. The optional enlarged cab offers still more stowage space and freedom of movement. The seat adjustment is even more individual. The cab floor is flat throughout, ensuring free through-cab access. Clear to read, easy to operate. The Unimog instrument panel is firmly installed on the steering column, making it really easy to read irrespective of the driver’s position. Backlit dials and two LCD multifunction displays provide all the important information. All the operating controls are installed on the centre console and the displays for the transmission and operating implements are fitted in logical clusters, easy to reach and easy to understand. Your advantages at a glance: •Roomy cab for relaxed working •Strong heating, ventilating and air-conditioning unit •Clearly structured instrument clusters •Ergonomic centre console with all the operating controls •Optional: round swivel roof hatch •Enlarged cab (120 mm) as optional extra Easy to operate and ergonomic 23 Economic efficiency and the environment The Unimog’s heart – its state-of-the-art Euro 5 engines. They combine efficient power development with low consumption and exemplary environmental compatibility. The Unimog’s strength comes from up to 210 kW.
