In construction site logistics, the Unimog U 435 shines with its compactness.
At Mersmann & Möllmann things often get very tight. It's a matter of a few centimetres. Because whenever the specialists from the roofing company from Raesfeld in North Rhine-Westphalia drive into residential areas, the narrow streets are reminiscent of a demanding obstacle course. That's where the Unimog U 435 comes in handy with its compactness. The all-rounder makes maneuvering on construction sites much easier and is also much more efficient on the freeway.
The Unimog always pitches in.
„We are so glad to have the Unimog. It is narrow, compact, has a lot of power and is perfect for manoeuvring,“ says Thomas Möllmann, who runs the 30-strong company together with Peter Mersmann. It does get tricky though when a roof truss needs to be straightened or renovated and a roof completely re-covered, as a crane must then be erected. The company has three cranes mounted on their own chassis. „We simply need a narrow, short but suitable tractor unit to be able to get onto the construction sites and set up properly.“
In the past, the company gained Unimog experience with its owner carpentry and plumbing business. „However, the last models we bought as newer used vehicles all lacked the power we needed for our applications.“ That is why we have now decided to purchase a new vehicle. With a displacement of 7.7 l, this engine delivers 354 hp and a torque of 1,380 Nm at 1,800 rpm.
