Unimog implement carrier
Open to challenges.
With the Unimog implement carrier, you get a unique vehicle that allows you to use different implements and bodies flexibly. Not only can you change them quickly and easily according to your needs, but you can also travel safely and efficiently all year round – whether it’s hot, snowy or rainy.
Highlights
One system. With vehicle.
With the Unimog, you don’t just get a vehicle, you get a powerful system. This allows you to professionally use different implements and bodies in your industry – 365 days a year. More than 75 years ago, the so-called universal engine unit was designed precisely for this purpose and has been consistently further developed since then. You benefit from decades of partnerships with qualified implement and body manufacturers who use their special know-how to ensure that the Unimog effectively meets your requirements in practice.
- 4 standardised attachment interfaces
- Cost effectiveness
- Ready for use 365 days
- Turning circle from 12.6 m
Attachments and implements can be incredibly flexibly and rapidly installed and uninstalled on the Unimog implement carrier, as it offers you up to 4 attachment points and a variety of standardised mechanical, hydraulic and electrical interfaces.
Compactness
Short and agile.
Compact, more compact, most compact: various Unimog models offer you very good features for your requirements. The short front end, low overall height and narrow width allow you to be extremely productive almost anywhere. For example, if you need to get through narrow alleys or manoeuvre in the tightest of spaces, you can unleash the power of the Unimog implement carrier with its dimensions, small turning circle from 12.6 m and 2,800 mm wheelbase in the entry-level model at almost any angle.
Compactness.
All-wheel steering
Turn all wheels.
With the optional all-wheel steering, you can also master tight bends easily and virtually without reversing. Compared to standard steering, this reduces your turning circle by roughly an additional 20 percent. If you have to manoeuvre a lot or, for example, clear snow, the so-called crab steering makes the work easier, as you can align the wheels diagonally in the same direction. If you want to manoeuvre in reverse gear, simply switch to rear-axle steering and you’ll be even more agile on the road.
Vehicle technology
Innovative system, efficient technology.
Your Unimog supports you in your work with a host of innovations. The synergetic EasyDrive drive system or the hydropneumatic suspension on the rear axle make the Unimog efficient, comfortable and safe.
Vehicle technology.
- Transfer case with permanent all-wheel drive
- EPS gearshift with 8 forward and 6 reverse gears
- Can be extended by 6 or 16 gears with crawler, working and off-road gear groups
- Reversing gear for fast direction changes
- EasyDrive combines hydrostatic and mechanical drive in a practical way
- AutomaticShift takes the strain off the user with its automated clutch and gearshift operations
EasyDrive – the innovative drive system.
Do you want to get ahead with your Unimog and use your implements efficiently at the same time? The EasyDrive synergetic drive system helps you with this. It combines the advantages of a fuel-saving manual transmission with a stepless hydrostatic drive. When moving between deployment sites or manoeuvring, you can switch spontaneously between stepless and mechanical drive. All of this increases efficiency and takes the strain off, as it means that you can concentrate even better on your work.
Efficient drivetrain.
In the Unimog, the fully synchronised electropneumatic manual transmission with 8 forward and 6 reverse gears translates the engine power into propulsion. It can be optionally expanded by 8 or 16 gears. Characteristics include smooth running, a long service life and a high degree of efficiency. And the synchronised Electronic Quick Reverse turning group makes it easier to change direction quickly, for example when clearing or manoeuvring, and is optionally available with a forward/reverse switch integrated into the multifunction operating lever.
1 All manufacturers listed in the Unimog Partner Portal meet Mercedes‑Benz quality standards in the areas of technology, quality, service and sales. You are therefore certified as a “UnimogPartner by Mercedes‑Benz” or a “Mercedes‑Benz Unimog ExpertPartner”. Unimog users can therefore rely on the new portal to provide them with optimum vehicle/implement combinations.
Implement drive
Always ready for action.
Mechanical, hydraulic and electric drives, as well as interfaces, open up numerous possibilities for using different implements and bodies at any time. Mercedes‑Benz Trucks has been cooperating with international equipment and body manufacturers for decades. The standardised attachment points make it easy to attach bodies and change implements.
Implement drive.
Mechanical implement drive: proven top performance.
Full steam ahead: The mechanical implement drive delivers the right result for many tasks in applications with high power requirements. Whether with a front PTO shaft with a continuous output of 160 kW or optional engine and transmission power take-off on board: you have several options for getting mechanical support for the Unimog as special equipment.
Electrical interface: plug and work.
With 4 standardised plug connections in the cab and on the outside, you save on cabling and can still operate electrical devices or drive attachments. You get the power from an on-board three-phase alternator with 28 V/150 A. You can easily make important settings via the parameterisable on-board electronics, such as the engine speed limit to protect mechanically driven implements, the immobiliser when the support legs are extended, or the speed limit.
4-cell work hydraulics.
The 4-cell work hydraulics of the implement carrier consist of up to 2 circuits. In the combined equipment circuits I and II (32 plus 55 l/min), you can mobilise 35 kW with up to 240 bar. Another highlight is the load-sensing hydraulic system. With an oil flow rate of up to 110 l/min and a pressure of 240 bar, it continuously adapts the pump pressure or volumetric flow rate to your requirements and is therefore particularly high performing and fuel-saving.
With up to 30 l of oil available from the fully proportional work hydraulics, larger trailer tilt cylinders can also be filled. Circuit I controls up to 8 implement positioning movements with 210 bar system pressure (32 l/min) via 4 double-acting valves or drives hydraulic motors in the lower power range.
VarioPower® power hydraulics.
2 circuits, both with 125 l hydraulic oil flow per minute and 280 bar pressure: with the power hydraulics of your Unimog, you don’t have to give up on any job, no matter how difficult. Whether you are carrying out several operations at the same time or a task requires high power – the VarioPower® power hydraulics make even more possible. The two open circuits III and IV have the same high output of 125 l hydraulic oil flow, a system pressure of 280 bar and a maximum output of 58 kW.
The power hydraulics thus replace plug-on pumps on the power take-off shaft or diesel body engines. You can easily control the VarioPower® using the steering wheel buttons on the multifunction steering wheel. The settings are displayed in the instrument cluster. The power hydraulics are mounted in the platform intermediate frame so that you can remove them from the platform frame – for example to increase the payload in winter service operations.
Comfort and design
Ergonomics.
Get in, feel comfortable and start driving: with features such as the unique VarioPilot® transferable steering, the modern UNI-TOUCH® operating concept and the comfortable seat position, the Unimog offers you intuitive operation and increased safety in every application.
Comfort and design
Ergonomics.
Sophisticated operating concept.
In the Unimog, you experience a work environment that meets your daily demands. The cockpit makes your work easier with a well thought-out operating concept. Thanks to the ergonomic arrangement of control elements, you have everything under control. This allows you to complete your tasks calmly and comfortably.
Functional interior.
You have an overview from the cab during operation. Not only because the Unimog is compact, but also because its interior is designed to be clear and functional. If you opt for the air-sprung driver’s seat in the already low-vibration cab, you will reduce fatigue during work.
The new UNI‑TOUCH® user interface allows you to maintain an overview of all important information. You can swivel, rotate and tilt the 10.5‑inch screen. The menu navigation makes working with UNI-TOUCH® straightforward. For example, you can adjust the factory settings individually to your daily requirements and save them in a favourites menu for quick access. Profiles, processes and controls can also be freely configured and uploaded or downloaded via the USB data interface – for even more efficiency in operation.
VarioPilot® transferable steering.
Would you prefer to use the Unimog as a right-hand drive vehicle for one-man operation, but as a left-hand drive vehicle for better visibility when driving on the road? Then you have the option of moving the steering wheel, together with the entire instrument panel and pedals, to the other seat position in less than 30 seconds thanks to VarioPilot® transferable steering.
Special door for a special task.
When there are two of you on the road mowing or maintaining verges, the optional fully glazed mowing door and rotating mowing seat ensures that the operator always has a good view of the working area.
Comfort steering.
Making it as easy for you as possible: the electric motor-driven power steering helps take the effort out of steering – even if you have implements attached to the front or drive with large-volume tyres. This makes your journey more comfortable and ergonomic.

Safety
Safe for you and others.
The compactness and overview of the Unimog implement carrier not only ensure that you are agile on the road; by giving you a better overview of the road and your work area, they also ensure that you are safer on the road. Whether through axle load distribution, directional stability, panoramic cab, and its active and passive systems: the Unimog provides excellent protection for not just you, but also other road users.
Safety.
Camera system with monitor.
The optional camera system, consisting of a front, rear and freely positionable additional camera for implements, assures you of a better overview when driving and coupling implements. The monitor in the interior allows you to keep an eye on the immediate area around the vehicle, and the front mounting plate, at all times.
The short-nosed cab of the Unimog with its low-drawn windscreen gives you a very good view of the area in front of your vehicle. This also contributes to safety, as the Unimog generally falls significantly short of the legally prescribed front-end dimension of a maximum of 3.5 m, even with implements.
Don’t compromise on safety.
With numerous assistance systems, such as the tyre pressure monitoring system1, Front Guard Assist1, reversing camera1 or Attention Assist 1, you are prepared for risky situations.
1 Assistance systems can only support drivers. The driver is always fully responsible for driving the vehicle safely.
