Special vehicles for your industry

Two ways – one truck.

Re-railing is no problem.

Applications

Always on the right track.

Whether you operate a railway company, a subway system or an industrial company with its own rail network, manoeuvre light rail vehicles and trams, or operate as a service provider in rail construction or track maintenance: when you need to work flexibly on rail or on road, the two-way vehicles offered by Mercedes‑Benz Trucks ensure the right solution for maximum efficiency in operation. Cooperation with bodybuilders and two-way specialists ensures the right configuration for your projects.

Mercedes‑Benz Trucks not only provides you with powerful and reliable vehicles for road use, but also for rail operation. As a manoeuvring vehicle, the Unimog implement carrier operates with plenty of power on rails – and can also be radio remote-controlled, should you wish. Thanks to the high traction of its rubber tyres on steel rails, the Unimog can move trailer loads of up to 1,000 tonnes or around 52 wagon axles. The optional torque converter clutch significantly increases the starting torque and ensures smooth moving off – even under high loads. This not only protects the transported goods and the vehicle, but also reduces clutch wear.

Unimog implement carrier.

For two-way operation, you need a vehicle that can manoeuvre heavy towing loads and at the same time be used for maintenance work on the track infrastructure. The Unimog does both for you. With a tractive force of up to 1,000 t, torque converter clutch, compact axles and permanent all-wheel drive via its own wheels, you can master even demanding manoeuvring tasks. The ability to get on and off the track in a few minutes gives you great flexibility. In addition, up to four attachment and body spaces as well as powerful interfaces make the Unimog the right carrier vehicle for different implements – perfect for maintenance and repair work.

Arocs.

The Arocs can be operated as a two-way version if you are looking for a versatile alternative to rail-bound vehicles for construction, maintenance and repair work on overhead contact lines. With hydraulic rail travel drive, it offers you precisely this variability – whether for trams, subways or standard-gauge railways.
