THAT VERSATILE little unit, the Unimog, can be employed in conjunction with a variety of attachments. The newest is a trailer road sweeper which has a 46 Cu. ft. hopper and a 5ft sweeping broom which is driven by means of gear and chain from the Unimog rear p.t.o. A large diameter side-broom moves the dirt from the gutter into the path of the main broom which carries it up and over into the hopper. The discharge is hydraulic with a tipping angle of 60. degrees. Water sprinkler equipment is provided, complete with 55-gallon container which should make a three-or-four-hour cleansing trip possible without refilling.
