In addition to its first-class protection and mobility features, the secret to the success of the DINGO 2 is based on its variable equipment concept. The DINGO 2 Recovery Vehicle provides further capabilities on any mission.
DINGO 2 Recovery Vehicle – For universal use
The recovery vehicle can lift vehicles up to a max. hook load of 5 t and safely tow them away. The 10 t recovery winch is remote-controllable.
The special 6x6 chassis based on the Unimog is logistically identical to the chassis of the DINGO 2 U5000, is very well suited to off-road travel and features additional gear reduction for difficult recovery and towing operations.
The 6x6 vehicle is equipped with a Mercedes-Benz diesel engine with 163 kW and 810 Nm of torque.
The vehicle is based on the DINGO 2 Pickup and is largely identical to the safety cell and its installations. The protected safety cell can be equipped for a crew of two or three.
The vehicle provides stowage options for function-specific equipment and spare parts.
Facts about the DINGO 2 Recovery Vehicle
The DINGO 6x6 is capable of recovering and towing damaged vehicles in the 14 t weight class under combat conditions without wasting time. As the first vehicle in the DINGO 2 family, the 6x6 version is equipped with a hydraulic 10 t recovery winch with planetary gear, multi-plate clutch, as well as a cable brake and towing device.
Unlike conventional recovery vehicles, its compact size and high mobility allow it to follow patrols and convoys in deployment zones without trouble.
High performance capability – Low life-cycle costs – Easy maintenance
As a highly modern wheeled vehicle, the DINGO 2 is not only ideally equipped for diverse mission profiles and extreme terrain conditions, but also for a long and cost-effective service life. The militarised Unimog chassis reduces training and instruction effort for drivers and mechanics. The low-maintenance, robust diesel engine is also an economic advantage. Furthermore, the KNDS Deutschland customer service offers worldwide vehicle service – even directly in the deployment zone – and assists in spare part supply. This ensures that vehicles will be at full performance capability at all times.
