Portal Axles & Coil Springs
Active and passive suspension in one.
Versatile applications are a hallmark of the Unimog. Just like its chassis expertise. This includes its reinforced portal axles, which ensure high ground clearance for a wide range of tasks – on and off the road.
For this purpose, the differential gear and the associated drive shafts are relocated to the top. The axle tube and differential are above the center of the wheel. This makes it easier to overcome obstacles and keeps the vehicle’s center of gravity low. The axle suspension is reinforced and defies the greatest loads. The axle design is also robust, enabling high series load values.
