Safely crossing the narrow dam wall with the Unimog.

Goes down well everywhere.

The Unimog U 323 copes well with the local conditions. Plus: not just the quality of the vehicle, but also the range of services and the always prompt support provided by Pappas Nutzfahrzeuge dealership were factors that made the Unimog the vehicle of choice again. With the crane construction and the implementation of various special technical equipment by the Styrian company FMG, it was possible to configure a truly custom-made solution – which also took into account the wishes and practical experience of the Ennskraftwerke employees.

Trust in people and technology.

Confidence in the technology, including the loading crane, is unwavering – after all, Edwin Mühlberger is inspecting the structure 20m further down the dam wall – on a steel cable in a work cage. He checks the structure for cracks, for example. Thanks to its hydraulic supports, the Unimog U 323 does not move a millimetre. A few hand signals are all it takes to tell his colleague Paul Wieninger where to manoeuver his colleague in the cage. "Without trust in people and technology, nothing can be done in such situations," says Jakov Jakic, who is responsible for this operating area at the Ennskraftwerke.

The power plant chain on the Enns is operated in so-called hydropeaking. Electricity demand – and therefore electricity production – is approximately four times higher during the day than at night. For this reason, the water in the upper-level power plants is accumulated at night and released in larger quantities during the day. This makes it possible to increase electricity production during the day with an even inflow of the Enns.
