Werner Uniknick - UK 52, UK 60, UK 130/160

After World War II, the Unimog (Universal Motor Device) was developed for agricultural and forestry use. To this day, no other vehicle worldwide offers such versatility.
As forestry became more specialized, the demand for specialized machinery grew. Werner, a company from Trier, specialized as a supplier for Daimler-Benz in forestry attachments and modifications based on Unimog and MB-trac. This traditional company had its own development department and worked closely with Daimler-Benz and forestry customers.
Unimog and MB-trac expert and renowned author Michel Kaiser provides detailed insights and numerous previously unpublished images of the forestry tractor Uniknick and the wood harvester Hürtgenwald by Werner from Trier in this volume.
