The Unimog. The cost-effective transport solution
Fast and economical for any terrain.
The end of the road is no reason for your transport to come to a standstill: With the pressure resulting from continually increasing costs and
distances, it is particularly important for farmers and private contractors to have fast and efficient transport solutions. When alternating
between field and farm, roads and silos, the Unimog is really able to demonstrate its abilities: safe off-road driving, easy-going on the soil,
fast and safe on the road – all combined with a large payload and high tractive power. The Unimog is capable of completing complex operations
with very moderate fuel consumption. That means you get more use for lower costs per kilometre. Economic efficiency that pays.
Cost-effectiveness is the key word when the Unimog is used
for agricultural operations – whether for running equipment
or transporting loads. With up to 40 tonnes overall haulage
weight and thanks to its high payload and handling qualities,
the Unimog is able to deal with large capacities and heavy loads
both fast and effectively. Due to its short chassis, it is able to
make optimal use of the maximum transport length of
18.75 m (61.5 ft.) allowed in the EU – either with several axles
or even with two trailers. Front- and rear-mounted implements
can also be attached and removed very quickly so that the
Unimog is always ready and waiting for a whole range of jobs
that may need doing.

System and implement-carrying expertise
Carry on working when others have to stand still.
Work efficiently and comfortably all year round. Unimog makes it possible. Its implement-carrying
concept was developed so that you are able to complete your operations economically, powerfully
and efficiently – whether it is for fast transport jobs or for especially economical year-round
operations such as mowing, clearing snow or cleaning.
One system – many possibilities. It is always high
season for the Unimog even when it is not being used for
transport jobs. With up to four attachment and mounting
points it is ready and waiting for each and every kind of
job. The quick-change systems with their colour-coded
hydraulic connections ensure a fast exchange of many
implements – ideal for a flexible work schedule.
The Unimog implement-carrying concept means that it
can be used just as easily at peak harvest times as for
rural conservation or municipal winter services.
Quite simply, it pays to have a Unimog – for all 365 days
of the year.
Rear and front power take off. PTOs at the front and rear
are provided for driving implements mechanically.
Implements requiring a great deal of power up to 150 kW
can be run off the front PTO with a load switch which is
driven directly by the engine. An optional rear PTO with
up to 120 kW continuous output and two PTO speeds
(540 and 1,000 revs/min) is also available. Another
attractive feature: the height-adjustable trailer coupling
with an 80 mm tow coupling head and the rear power
lift with up to 5 t lifting power. We have a range of other
auxiliary drives for you to choose from for operating
other mechanical implements while stationary.
Operational and power hydraulic. The Unimog has a
single or dual circuit hydraulic system for driving and
handling implements in the lower and medium performance range – easily controlled by joystick with one
hand. And for the upper performance range, there
is the high performance hydraulic system VarioPower®
with circuits III and IV.
Infinitely variable. The hydrostatic transmission drive
allows for an infinitely variable adjustment of the working
speed between 0 and 25 km/h (15.6 mph) with a constant
engine speed and it can be easily controlled either by the
accelerator or manually. This makes driving easier and
the driver can better concentrate on his work. Simply select the driving or working mode by pressing the button.

Chassis expertise
Arrive fast and safely.
Whether on the field or on the road, with the Unimog you get where you want to go without making any
detours. This is due to a chassis concept that is not supplied by any other manufacturer worldwide.
Unusually high ground clearance, very good angles of approach and departure, great stability when not
moving as well as excellent traction and speeds of up to 90 km/h (56.5 mph) on paved roads.
Outstanding handling. The Unimog leaves no room
for doubt with its outstanding off-road capabilities and
remarkable degree of comfort. Its high payload and
excellent driving stability also allow larger and heavier
mounted implements such as fertilizer spreaders or herbicide/pesticide sprayers with a boom length of up to 36 m
(118 ft.).
Portal axles provide as much ground clearance as
possible, and the great axle articulation using coil springs
makes sure that all four wheels are in continual contact-
with the ground. Should the terrain get really difficult,
locking differentials in both axles make sure full power
is available.
Four-wheel drive and single tyres. Four wheels of equal
size support the Unimog’s excellent running features
and high traction. The four-wheel drive combines with
the multi-pass effect of the rear wheels running in the
front wheel tracks to provide improved traction.
That means there is less slip, a better performance-area
ratio, and lower fuel costs per acre/hectare.
The central tyre inflation system is easy on the soil
and saves on tyres and fuel. Just press the button, and
tire control, the central tyre inflation system, lets the
driver lower the tyre pressure for just one or both axles
while driving and without leaving his driving seat.
This means the Unimog is less likely to sink into soft
ground so that it can use its full tractive power even
on soft terrain. When stationary, the lowered pressure
prevents field damage due to soil compression. Once on
the road, however, wear on the tyres, fuel consumption
and sound levels are decreased with a higher tyre pressure.

Easy to operate and ergonomics
Equipped with safety. The Unimog
The operator in the spotlight.
Working safely day after day.
Outstanding visibility of surroundings and mounting points, high safety standards and clearly arranged control elements.
The Unimog’s panoramic cab has everything the driver needs to make his working day ergonomic, comfortable and safe.
Generous headroom and space to move, high standards of sound soundproofing and insulation, standard air-conditioning,
an integrated parking heater as well as easy-to-operate controls. All of these features help to combat driver fatigue.
The Unimog also sets standards with its active and passive safety concept: a safety concept that is geared to avoiding
accidents altogether and to minimising the results should an accident actually happen. A whole range of modern safety
systems provides a high rate of accident prevention for the driver and all other road users, making the Unimog a very safe
option for municipal use.
Easy changing with Telligent®. The Unimog provides just
the right speed for every operation with its easy-to-switch
electro-pneumatic transmission. When driving on roads,
you can save fuel by being in the right gear. The forward/
back Electronic Quick Reverse (EQR) system helps you to
change direction quickly. The working gears (8/8) extend
the speed range to provide the right gear for the job and
increase tractive power. With the crawler gears (8/8), the
Unimog can use extremely slow rates of feed down to less
than 100 m/h (328 ft/h).
Retaining the overview in the cab. The quick-change
steering VarioPilot® (optional) means you can sit where
you can see best. The steering column can be moved
manually from left to right so that you always retain a
complete overview of your working area.

Easy to operate and ergonomics
Your advantages at a glance
ABS and ALB standard
Large-dimensioned disc brakes on all four wheels
Greater safety for passengers with three-point
seat belts and ECE-R-29-2-tested driving cab
Extremely easy-to-operate gear shifting by
selectable manual or automatic transmission
Optimal visibility through quick-change steering
and panoramic cab
Driver support through well-thought-out controls
and feature design
Better view, more safety. With its short implement
dimensions in front and wide field of vision, the Unimog
makes sure that the driver is aware of critical situations
in good time. Short implement dimensions are to be
understood as the distance between the front edge of the
attached implement and the centre of the steering wheel
in the vehicle. In combination with those front-attached
implements certified by Mercedes-Benz, the Unimog is
below the legal limit of 3.5 m. The position of the front
seats combined with the very large windows in the panoramic cab ensure the driver has a good overall view
of his working area.
Control is better. Directional stability and controlled
braking are decisive safety factors – especially on wet,
snow-covered or icy roads. Here the Unimog gives a very
convincing performance. With its well-balanced axle load
distribution it can keep its directional stability even if
there is a risk of skidding. Thanks to its standard ABS,
during emergency braking the Unimog can still be
steered and come to a precise stop despite varying
surface conditions. The easy-to-use snow
chains or the alternative use of rotating chains make
driving under hazardous conditions much safer for the
driver.
On the safe side with the Unimog. A relaxed driver
can concentrate better, and that means greater safety.
The driver’s place in the Unimog has therefore been
designed with particularly low vibrations: a fully
spring-cushioned chassis, a four-point sprung-mounted
cab and an air-sprung driving seat keep the vibration
strain low. As work vehicles run a relatively high risk
of rear-end collisions because of their low working
speed, the Unimog also has very effective impact protection. Should an accident actually occur, the ballast
weight and the sturdy frame of the vehicle with its
platform body make sure that the impact is absorbed
and greatly reduced before reaching the driver’s seat.
Three-point safety belts and headrests also provide
additional protection. Further information can be
