Start off by shunting heavy loads on rails, then skip off the tracks and drive on the road to where the next rail task awaits you. There is only one vehicle that can do this – the Mercedes-Benz Unimog road-railer.

Great pulling power: with the Unimog road-railer you have a fully-fledged shunter at your disposal. It is perfectly adapted for up to 1000 t hauling capacity. Equipped for exceptional ease of operation and comfortable driving. Not only do you save up to 60% on the purchasing cost over a conventional shunting locomotive, you also save significantly on fuel and other service products. Plus, you save additional money in maintenance, service and routine interim and main roadworthiness inspections. Thanks to the Unimog’s direct on-track and off-track capabilities you save not only time but also money. Simply drive the Unimog on the road to the next job and transfer it to the tracks again, with a hydraulic turntable in a few minutes. All you need is an embedded track section about 5 metres in length.

As a professional implement-carrier, the Unimog road-railer can also be utilised for numerous tasks all around the rail track infrastructure. From cutting back overgrown trees to the track cleaning and maintenance, maintaining the overhead lines and clearing snow from the tracks. Or you can convert the Unimog, off the track, into a winter service vehicle for your production facilities.
