A true workhorse – the Aebi VT 470 Vario in operation in Triesenberg

The municipality of Triesenberg lies between 700 and 2,000 metres above sea level and is the largest municipality in Liechtenstein by area. This places high demands on the local municipal services team: hiking trails and unpaved roads need regular maintenance, while traditional tasks such as looking after sports facilities and the cemetery, as well as winter road maintenance, are part of everyday work. To handle this wide range of duties, the municipality relies on the Aebi VT 470 Vario, which has already clocked up more than 700 operating hours. In a short interview, depot manager Patrick Klösch shares his experience with us.

Mr Klösch, where is the VT 470 Vario mainly used in Triesenberg?
We use our Aebi very versatile for a wide range of tasks: for example, maintaining playgrounds and natural roads – even in the alpine areas. In winter, the transporter is fitted with a spreader and snow plough for road maintenance.

Your vehicle is equipped with a hooklift. Why did you choose this option?
The hooklift gives us enormous flexibility. We work with different swap containers, for example on sports fields or at the cemetery. It is also used for a wide range of transport tasks. In winter, we can quickly mount the spreader on a swap frame and just as easily reconfigure the vehicle when there is no snow. This way, we remain extremely flexible.

You compared several transporters. Why did you choose the VT 470 Vario?
We compared four transporters from different manufacturers. The VT 470 Vario stood out thanks to its tight turning circle, off-road capability, and the continuously variable Vario transmission. Equally important for us was the high payload the vehicle offers. The vehicle is also very easy to operate – every one of our drivers manages it with ease. All functions are accessible via the joystick, and the display provides an excellent overview – overall, it is a thoroughly reliable and versatile vehicle.

How is service and support organised for the transporter?
Aebi has a very strong dealer network. We are supported by the Good Maschinencenter in Mels – they can be on site within around 30 minutes and provide uncomplicated assistance. Spare parts are also always readily available.

The Aebi VT 470 Vario has proven itself in Triesenberg as a versatile and reliable working vehicle. Its flexibility and ease of operation make it a valuable asset for any municipality, regardless of terrain or application.
