Mercedes-Benz Unimog: The Ultimate Tool Carrier for Tough Jobs

The Mercedes-Benz Unimog is an absolute classic. At bauma 2019, Mercedes-Benz will be presenting a Unimog implement carrier at the Munich trade fair that offers many possible applications and unique specifications.

Mercedes-Benz is exhibiting a Unimog implement carrier equipped with a bitumen sprayer at bauma 2019. This enables a company to apply bitumen to a road surface so that new chippings can be rolled out or a new layer of tar can be applied.

Very intelligent change system for Unimog implement carriers

What's more - and this is what makes the Unimog so special - the vehicle can do more than that. It can also sweep a road. That's why it has a large sweeping brush. This allows two work processes to be carried out in a single operation. In winter, it is possible to lower the body. Thanks to a very intelligent interchangeable system, it is possible to mount a salt spreader at the rear. And the sweeping brush can be removed and replaced with a snow plow. This means that the machine can be used 365 days a year. There are at most 5 days when you take a break.

Unimog special feature is an extremely slow driving option

Another special feature is an extremely slow driving option. The driver can drive the Unimog 80 meters in one hour. This is particularly important when very accurate work is required. The driver also has the option of changing the steering wheel. From left to right. This is called VarioPilot, an interchangeable steering system and is a very special feature. Last but not least, there are some reverse gears that a truck does not have. With 6 reverse gears, maneuvering the vehicle backwards is easier because you can drive at different speeds.
