Editing Unimog (section)

=== Design ===
The Unimog's characteristic design element is its [[chassis]]: a flexible [[chassis#Ladder frame|ladder frame]] with short overhangs, and coil sprung beam [[portal axle]]s with a central torque tube and transverse links. Having portal axles, the wheels' centres are below the axle centre, which gives the Unimog a high ground clearance without the need for big tyres. The coil sprung axles with torque tubes allow an axle angle offset of up to {{val|30|u=°}}, giving the wheels a wide range of vertical movement to allow the truck to drive over extremely uneven [[terrain]], even [[boulder]]s of one metre in height.<ref name=Vogler_2016 />{{rp|23}}

Unimogs are equipped with high-visibility cabs to maximize operator visibility of terrain and when manipulating powered tools. The newest implement carrier Unimog models can be changed from left-hand drive to right-hand drive in the field to permit operators to work on the more convenient side of the truck. The ability to operate on highways enables the Unimog to be returned to a secure garage or yard at the end of a shift.
