  • Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks exhibits eight fire-fighting vehicles
  • Five highly off-road-capable Unimogs, one Unimog implement carrier and two Ategos with bodies from Rosenbauer, Schlingmann, BAI, Brandschutztechnik Stolpen and AS Baugeräte
  • More axle load: Atego 1630 AF with 10-ton rear axle and single tires for increased load capacity

Welzow (Brandenburg), Wörth am Rhein – Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks will be presenting various vehicle solutions at FIREmobil, the performance show in the field of crisis and disaster protection from 19 to September 21, 2024. In addition to the two vehicles of the Atego model series, the manufacturer will be showcasing six Unimog-based emergency vehicles. With their different configurations, the vehicles cover a wide range of firefighting applications.

Rosenbauer forest fire-fighting vehicle with crewcab

Based on the highly off-road capable Unimog, Rosenbauer has specially designed the “MT Forest DK” for use in forest fire areas. The cab, which has been extended to a “Doka” (= double cab) at the factory, can accommodate up to seven emergency crew members. The roof hatch can also be used to extinguish the fire while driving in the Pump & Roll process, whereby a self-protection system can cool the tires and driver’s cab with spray mist. The launcher at the front of the vehicle can be operated from the cab.

In combination with the tire pressure control system for improved driveability on different surfaces, fording capability, high ground clearance and large slope and ramp angles make the Unimog an agile tool for fighting vegetation and surface fires.

Schlingmann “TLF 3000” on Unimog basis

The tank fire-fighting vehicle built by Schlingmann is also based on the Unimog U 5023 and is designed for the needs of the fire brigade in off-road operations. The frame, which is welded from special stainless steel profiles, gives the body stability and high anti-corrosion protection.

The double three-point mounting as a connection between the body and chassis allows torsional freedom when driving off-road. This enables quick transportation of extinguishing water and foaming agent to the scene of the fire – even if the fire is in the forest or on a steep slope. A 4000L extinguishing water tank can also be installed on request. The four side equipment compartments offer space for extensive fire service loading. Roof boxes can also be mounted on the body roof. The pump system is installed in the rear equipment compartment. The TLF 3000 is equipped with a Schlingmann centrifugal firefighting pump, C spray lance on the roof, front water guns and spray nozzles for self-protection.

Further vehicle solutions at the Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks stand 

Other vehicle solutions based on the Unimog can also be found at the stand of Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks: the “TLF 2000” and the “TLF 3000 Vario” from BAI, an equipment vehicle Logistics from Fire Protection Technology Stolpen (BTS) and an emergency vehicle from the non-profit organization @fire with platform and tarp from Söder.

Visitors to the stand will also find the HLF 20 Varus 4x4 rescue group vehicle built by Schlingmann based on the Atego 1530 AF, as well as an Atego 1630 AF with 10-ton rear axle and single tires for increased load capacity and more flexibility in the weight distribution of the body. The Atego 1630 AF will be on display without body.
