For Immediate Release: 3/24/2004Schwarze Industries Announces UNIMOG Chassis Availability for A7000 Regenerative Air Sweeper Models(Huntsville, AL - March 29, 2004) The UNIMOG chassis was first built in post WWII Germany to serve the German agricultural industry. The machines have been seen in the U.S. since the early 1950s. Over 400,000 have been built for use around the world, and their popularity in North America is definitely on the rise due to the many alternate usages available with the host of attachments that fit the UNIMOG chassis. Communities (over 12,500 municipalities in Europe alone) buy it for winter service, fire protection, search and rescue, disaster relief, road construction, underground cable-laying by both trench and plough-in methods, lawn and field mowing, waste removal, sewer and street cleaning, tree transplanting, utilities boom truck and mast erection, even grave digging, and more. The UNIMOG is seen as a very welcome addition to the American work scene. Today in the U.S., the UNIMOG is on the way to taking its rightful place in an array of industrial, commercial, and recreational applications, including regenerative air sweeping. UNIMOG is a member of the Freightliner Group, which is a Daimler Chrysler company. The A7000-UNIMOG differs from the standard A7000 configuration in some significant ways. Most visible is that curb broom mounting is located in front of the chassis, rather than behind the front wheel. This is done to allow the sweeper body to be quickly changed to any of the other many configurations available for the UNIMOG chassis. The sweeping power of the A7000 has not been compromised, however. One of the markets the UNIMOG-outfitted A7000 is seen to be suited for is snowbelt municipalities that are unable to sweep all year 'round. With the A7000 sweeper offloaded, the UNIMOG may be utilized throughout the winter season, either as a snowplow chassis or for any of the dozens of other uses for which accessories are readily available. Offloading the A7000 sweeper body is quick and easy. Removal of the sweeper takes about 2 hours, since the sweeping head and intake and exhaust hoses must be removed. However, sweeper removal allows the UNIMOG chassis to be used for a wide variety of other applications. For someone with a need for a sweeper that isn't to be used all year around, the UNIMOG chassis may be an ideal choice. The A7000 is one of the sweeping industry's mainstays, with over 15 years of successful operation throughout the U.S. The A7000 offers a 8.4 cubic yard hopper capacity, is powered by a 115 hp John Deere turbocharged diesel engine and comes standard with the industry-leading Schwarze WhisperWheelSM fan system.
