Versatile in use.
The manufacturer should quickly become clear. But which type and which body manufacturer?
One point for the right answer.
-
Up to the Experts.
-
Unimog 421 with body by Westfalia?
-
Ruthman ?
-
Ruthman ?
Close, but not 100% correct. Body is by Anton Ruthmann GmbH & Co from the city of Gescher-Hochmaar (double "n" at the end).
-
Well, then let the boss have a go (-;
Yes, it is a Unimog (what a surprise), but not a U 421 and neither built by Westfalia nor by Ruthmann.

Yes, it is a U 411. Locked for three attempts for you to find the superstructure manufacturer.

Sorry, but not Ries either.
Open to all.

Not more Robuster either. Bill, you were a bit hasty...
-
Up to the professionals.
-
Does a master have an idea?
-
is the company still around?
-
Yes, but in the meantime under a different owner and with a slightly different name.
-
Wumag?
-
Yes, correct. Evaluation will take place later.

On 17 June 1948, "WUMAG Niederrhein" was founded in Krefeld as an offshoot of WUMAG Hamburg. Both were West German successor companies of WUMAG Waggonbau in Görlitz. The Hamburg company went into corkage in 1953.
In Krefeld, low-floor lift trucks based on Unimog, among others, were manufactured from 1954 to about 1970.
From 1961, aerial work platforms were produced on the basis of trucks, since 1975 as "WUMAG elevant" and since 2008 under the umbrella of the palfinger company.
This is your next well-deserved point.
