South Cave Tractors has been named the first and only UK dealer to achieve official Mercedes-Benz Unimog Partner status.
Based in Brough, East Yorkshire, South Cave Tractors is also one of only a handful of Mercedes-Benz Trucks dealers worldwide to hold the accreditation, which recognises dealers and bodybuilders with proven expertise in supporting Unimog customers across a wide range of applications.
The Unimog Partner status is awarded following a rigorous accreditation process, including an on-site audit assessing workshop and showroom facilities, technical and bodybuilding capabilities, and customer service standards. Mercedes-Benz says the programme is designed to ensure Unimog customers receive consistent, specialist support for demanding operations in sectors such as agriculture, forestry, municipal services and specialist industries.
South Cave Tractors has been a Unimog specialist for more than 50 years, with in-house sales, aftersales and bodybuilding expertise cited as a key factor in its successful application.
Ross Paterson, head of special trucks at Daimler Truck UK, said the award reflects the dealer’s long-standing expertise: “Unimog Partner status is a rare privilege only given to exceptional Mercedes-Benz Trucks dealers globally. South Cave Tractors has an unrivalled depth of knowledge of the Unimog and a team that consistently delivers for its customers.”
Joe Baines, workshop manager at South Cave Tractors
, said the accreditation underlines the company’s focus on tailored solutions: “Unimog is a highly diverse product used across many industries. The in-depth review of our engineering processes and quality systems really cements our commitment to delivering excellence for our customers.”
The Mercedes-Benz Unimog range spans gross weights from 7.5 to 16.5 tonnes and is offered in two core variants: the UGE implement carrier and the UHE extreme off-roader, both of which can be specified with a wide range of specialist bodies and attachments.
