Third axle increases payload, body-mounting space and traction
Outstanding off-road capabilities and a robust construction
Time-tried Unimog principles: compact dimensions and outstand-ingly capable
Stuttgart/Wörth – For over ten years, the Unimog U 5000 has been the professional vehicle in the extremely mobile off-road Unimog product range specialising in outstanding off-road mobility, torsional flexibility and outstanding traction. The third axle of the new 6×6 version has extended the possible range of operations for the Mercedes Benz off-road specialist even further. Its permissible gross vehicle weight of 17 tonnes and a payload of about 10 tonnes now make it capable of tackling additional work assignments, turning it into a versatile all-rounder for special operations, transporting heavy loads or vehicle bodies over especially difficult terrain where it makes the most of its off-road mobility. From the energy sector to fire services as well as for disaster intervention, the new three-axle Unimog is able to transport heavy equipment, cranes and fire-fighting bodies with tanks or construction and maintenance crews reliably to their destinations by road or in remote areas off the road.
