00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:11.279
<b>I’m Christian Kurz.</b>

2
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:11.800
<b>I run a</b>

3
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:13.919
<b>traditional carpentry shop with eight staff members.</b>

4
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:16.359
<b>We make turnkey</b>

5
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:18.359
<b>houses in solid wood design.</b>

6
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:20.879
<b>Extra storeys, roof renovations,</b>

7
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:22.559
<b>small jobs like carports and</b>

8
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:23.800
<b>Velux windows as well.</b>

9
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:26.280
<b>Today we were building a</b>

10
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:27.440
<b>livestock hut.</b>

11
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:29.600
<b>The only way to get there</b>

12
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.039
<b>is with a Unimog.</b>

13
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:33.439
<b>You have to reverse</b>

14
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:35.079
<b>down with all the material.</b>

15
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:38.560
<b>We offloaded the material in a really tight space,</b>

16
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:40.799
<b>lifted it onto the roof with the</b>

17
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:43.000
<b>loading crane and rotated it.</b>

18
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:45.359
<b>We had to then reverse again so we could drive</b>

19
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:45.960
<b>forwards</b>

20
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.039
<b>onto the access road.</b>

21
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.479
<b>The first Unimog is a</b>

22
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:54.679
<b>Unimog U 1000 featuring a loading crane.</b>

23
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.399
<b>The second Unimog that we bought</b>

24
00:00:57.399 --> 00:00:59.840
<b>is the U 327, with</b>

25
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:01.159
<b>roll-off and tipper trailers.</b>

26
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:03.439
<b>It was developed specifically</b>

27
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.159
<b>for the construction industry.</b>

28
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.599
<b>A very compact vehicle, it has 270 hp,</b>

29
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:11.879
<b>is somewhat</b>

30
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.000
<b>narrower than the five series.</b>

31
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:17.000
<b>I am very happy with the 270</b>

32
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.079
<b>hp, it's enough to pull 20 tonnes</b>

33
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:20.319
<b>on my trailers.</b>

34
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:22.200
<b>It may take 5 minutes</b>

35
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.079
<b>more to travel 50 kms,</b>

36
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:28.239
<b>but it’s great with its performance.</b>

37
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:30.719
<b>I've chosen a mixed tread</b>

38
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:31.799
<b>for the tyres.</b>

39
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.879
<b>It’s a mixture of off-road and</b>

40
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:40.000
<b>agricultural tread, because we often also travel on fields or</b>

41
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.000
<b>gravel</b>

42
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.280
<b>so I can get anywhere easily.</b>

43
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.239
<b>The concept of material transport with the</b>

44
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:51.879
<b>skip loader trailer is so that I can</b>

45
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:53.319
<b>take the material with my</b>

46
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:54.799
<b>staff to the construction site.</b>

47
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.439
<b>I drop it off and then drive on to</b>

48
00:01:58.439 --> 00:01:59.599
<b>the next site, pick up the skip</b>

49
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.040
<b>and empty it.</b>

50
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.439
<b>The vehicle here will eventually</b>

51
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.000
<b>get a loading crane with a range of</b>

52
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:08.599
<b>20 metres and a winch,</b>

53
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:11.560
<b>so that at some point we'll also be able</b>

54
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.479
<b>to unload the vehicle autonomously.</b>
