Municipal services and Waste disposal

Four seasons.

Most people probably think of pizza straight away. But packing all four seasons into one package is something the Unimog can do too. The specialist for municipal tasks can be put to excellent use all year round. Mowing, vegetation maintenance, winter service, sweeping: the to‑do lists of towns and municipalities are long, but with the Unimog they can be handled quickly and efficiently. For example, in Salzburg.

In municipal operations, the Unimog scores all year round.

Enriches the municipal fleet.

There’s always something to do – often planned, sometimes spontaneous. Whether in the summer heat or in ice and snow. That’s when you need versatile helpers in your fleet that can tackle a wide range of jobs. A task like this is made for the Unimog implement carrier. This all‑rounder scores with standardised hydraulic, mechanical and electrical interfaces for a wide range of implements and bodies. Frame mounting points, attachment fittings on the sides and at the rear, as well as ball points on the platform subframe make changing implements quick and easy. This means the vehicle can also be converted at short notice to meet current requirements, for example in the event of a sudden onset of winter.

Manoeuvre in the tightest of spaces.

The short front end, low overall height and narrow width make the Unimog particularly manoeuvrable. With wheelbases from 2.80 to 3.90 m, the Unimog brings its power not only onto the road but into every corner. Optional all-wheel steering can further increase manoeuvrability. The most compact model, the Unimog U 219, offers high implement carrier competence in the tightest of spaces with a turning circle of only 12.6 m.

Short downtimes, long service intervals.

Thanks to the versatile attachment and body solutions, the Unimog can be used efficiently every day of the year. This reduces downtimes and therefore saves real money. In addition, the modern Euro VI engines of the latest Unimog generation are particularly fuel-efficient. And when it comes to servicing, the Unimog also performs more favourably than comparable vehicles, since despite its complex technology it generally only incurs low maintenance costs.

Designed for depot managers and drivers.

Efficiency is in the Unimog's genes. But when it comes to comfort and ergonomics, the Mercedes-Benz all-rounder also sets high standards. The Unimog's cab is designed for exceptional ergonomics, and all vehicle and implement functions can be operated intuitively. Thanks to the low front profile, drivers have an excellent view through the windshield and of any mounted implements.

Other technology highlights include: the VarioPilot^® transferable steering, which allows the steering wheel and the entire pedal assembly to be moved from the left to the right side in the shortest possible time. In combination with the optionally available fully glazed mowing door, ideal visibility of the tools is ensured, for example during verge maintenance. The synergetic EasyDrive drive system enables a seamless transition between efficient driving and stepless operation. The powerful VarioPower^® working and power hydraulics save space, weight and fuel compared with external diesel drives or plug-on pumps.

For fleet managers, financial officers and drivers: the Unimog implement carrier offers a convincing package of flexibility, cost-effectiveness and comfort. A valuable partner for everyday use!
