Absolute off-road supremacy

Chassis Design
The frame design of the Unimog U 3000/U 4000/U 5000 range is not just unique, it is unparalleled worldwide. The flexible ladder-type frame with tubular cross members ensures rigidity when needed and great torsional flexibility off-road. Even at an articulation of 30º, the Unimog retains its ability to provide safe and controlled driving.
Portal axles
Portal axles provide outstanding ground clearance, so deep potholes or obstacles up to 50cm high are no problem for the Unimog, and the centre of gravity stays low.
Axle suspension
Thrust tubes, wishbone steering and coil springs enable long spring travel and extreme axle articulation for off-road operations.
Thrust tube technology
The thrust tube technology allows for extremely long spring travel and diagonal axle articulation up to 30°.
Engageable all-wheel-drive
For maximum traction in every situation, the Unimog’s all-wheel drive ensures that whatever the weather, terrain or conditions – the Unimog will get there.
