- South Cave Tractors is the first and only Mercedes-Benz Unimog dealer in the UK to be recognised with the prestigious, official Unimog Partner status – one of only a handful in the world to achieve this
- Rigorous criteria to achieve accreditation includes on-site audit to evaluate facilities, technical capabilities, quality and customer service standards
- South Cave Tractors in Brough, East Yorkshire, has been a Unimog specialist and bodybuilder for over 50 years
- Unimog is built for extreme tasks and off-road terrain with attachment options for a range of applications
As a specialist commercial vehicle for extreme tasks and all-wheel drive to tackle any terrain, the Unimog Partner programme recognises dealers and bodybuilders who meet Mercedes-Benz's exacting standards for supporting Unimog customers across diverse applications, from agriculture and forestry to municipal services and specialist industries.
A rigorous accreditation process includes an on-site audit to assess showroom and workshop facilities, plus technical and bodybuilding capabilities, and customer service standards. Only a handful of Mercedes-Benz Trucks dealers around the world have achieved Unimog Partner status.
A key factor in South Cave Tractors' successful application was it being a Unimog specialist for over 50 years and being able to demonstrate an unparalleled depth of expertise in sales, aftersales support and specialist bodybuilding services.
Ross Paterson, Head of Special Trucks, Daimler Truck UK, commented: “Unimog Partner status is a rare privilege only given to exceptional Mercedes-Benz Trucks dealers globally, so we are extremely proud to see this honour being awarded to a UK dealer for the first time. South Cave Tractors has an unrivalled, in-depth knowledge of the Unimog and a passionate and talented team who all deserve credit for working consistently to deliver outstanding results for their customers.”
Joe Baines, Workshop Manager at South Cave Tractors said: “Unimog is such a diverse product which excels in so many different industries, so being able to provide new and existing customers with solutions for their business needs has always been one of our core objectives. To receive the Unimog Partner Status from Daimler Truck AG has been an amazing achievement for the whole team, with the successful in-depth review of our in-house systems, engineering processes and quality management system, it really cements our commitment to delivering excellence for our customers.”
The Unimog range encompasses gross weights from 7.5 to 16.5 tonnes and is built around two core variants: the UGE implement carrier U219-U535, and UHE extreme off-roader U4023-U5023 that can be fitted with many different types of body.
