Top-of-the-range Unimog U 435 enriches the part-time business.
When others call it a day, the Götz family starts their second working day – with a shovel, heart and a Unimog U 435. A family business with power, precision and a passion for heavy equipment – and a clear preference for getting to work.
A lot to dig.
The Götz family from Lampertheim in southern Hesse is a real hard-working family: Father, mother, son - all three are involved in the family business. They called their company "Schaufelwerk". They specialise in excavation work as well as horticulture and landscaping, and their clients are predominantly private customers. There is a lot to dig around Lampertheim all year round.
The curious thing is: The Götz family runs their business entirely as a sideline.
Available when needed.
Whenever an order comes in, father Holger (53) and son Tom (22) coordinate who can do the job. Tom is studying mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt. His father is a building contractor.
“It works out really well. We've been operating the business since 2019. We can process orders in the afternoons, at weekends or even during the day - always depending on the urgency and order situation,” explains junior boss Tom Götz.
Feedback on the profit situation comes from Mother Katja, who does the office job.
