Overland Truck – Aircon Install

Jan 09, 2024

During December our engineers had the opportunity to work on something a little different! The client wanted to have air conditioning installed into the cab of their impressive Mercedes Unimog Overland Truck ready for forthcoming trips to places much warmer than the UK. He came to Landau based on what he’d seen of our marine work in the past and we were only too pleased to assist.

After extensive research of the various aircon units on the market we selected a Vitrifrigo Stratos 6000 as being the most suitable for this application. It’s low external profile meant we could install below the truck’s overcab roof rack and the optional fitting kit gave a “factory fit” finish inside the cab. Whilst the Truck was with us we also carried out some other small works including fitting a new habitation door handle, re-sealing of body work with colour matched sealant and re-installing the motorbike rack winch controller to make it waterproof within it’s locker.
