At the foot of the mighty Grand Galibier (3229 m) in the Western Alps, the winter-service
machines and their crews waited their turn to perform (photo on previous page). Then came
an opportunity to tackle winter clearance tasks for real: the ten Unimogs with their blade
and rotary snowploughs and spreaders from various equipment manufacturers were able to
prove their worth in realistic conditions (photos on this page)

When space is at a
premium on the
construction site or rough
terrain has to be
negotiated, the MercedesBenz Unimog is in its

Its so easy with the CLUTCHMATE
Less strain on the driver, less wear on the machine
TV approved
CLUTCHMATE protects man and machine
Have you ever thought about how much strain is put on a Unimog drivers left knee,
and how often it happens?
Depending on the type of work he might have to press the clutch up to three thousand times a day.
And because human knees vary in strength and load capacity, serious injuries are always occurring.
Sometimes it means that a driver is off work for a while, but it could even lead to
permanent incapacity.

Since the pipe depot is below sea level, the Unimogs wheels often sink into
the soft sandy soil. But they havent yet been brought to a standstill and in
view of their capabilities this is highly unlikely.
There is yet another reason why the erecting specialists from Germanys State of
Saxony value the services of the new
Unimog. Logistics manager Thomas
Manleitner explains: The Mussel-shell
