Frequently asked

Glossary

1

Kommunaltechnik (municipal technology)

The equipment, vehicles and attachments used by city works departments, Bauhof yards and their contractors to keep public space clean, safe and usable: winter service, street cleaning, green maintenance and waste handling. URBAN TEC live is built around this equipment category rather than general industrial machinery.

2

Winterdienst (winter service)

The road and pavement clearing and de-icing duty that German municipalities are legally obliged to perform. At the fair it covers spreaders, snow ploughs, brine tanks, grit silos and the route-planning and documentation software that proves the duty was carried out.

3

Geräteträger (multifunction carrier)

A single carrier vehicle with hydraulic and electrical interfaces that accepts a mower, sweeper, snow plough, spreader or water tank as seasonal attachments. Buyers compare carrier platforms at the show because one chassis must cover summer green care and winter clearing duties.

4

Sole / brine de-icing

Liquid de-icing using salt brine, often mixed with additives, sprayed before frost forms. It is a major topic for municipal fleets because pre-wetted spreading cuts salt consumption; the fair shows brine production, storage and dosing equipment alongside conventional grit spreaders.

5

Kehrmaschine (street sweeper)

Truck-mounted, compact or pedestrian-controlled sweeping machines used for road gutters, cycle paths, market squares and underpasses. Exhibits range from small municipal carriers to suction sweepers with dust suppression for inner-city use.

6

Grünpflege (green space maintenance)

Maintenance of parks, verges, playgrounds and roadside greenery: mowers, mulchers, hedge cutters, stump grinders, watering and tree-care equipment. It is the summer half of the municipal maintenance calendar and is displayed in the outdoor area where machines can run.

7

Bauhof

The municipal works yard where a city's vehicles, attachments, salt stock and tools are stored and maintained. Bauhof managers and fleet supervisors are the core trade visitors who compare products and write specifications at URBAN TEC live.

8

Abfallwirtschaft (waste management)

Collection and handling of household, green and construction waste: refuse collection bodies, lift-and-tip systems, weighing and identification electronics, and depot containers. Suppliers here sell to municipal waste companies and private collection contractors.

9

Fachbesucher (trade visitor)

A visitor attending in a professional capacity, such as a municipal fleet manager, civil engineer or landscaping contractor. German municipal fairs are normally trade-oriented, so bring proof of professional role and register in advance rather than arriving as a private visitor.

10

Telematik / route documentation

On-board telematics that records spreading width, salt quantity, speed and GPS position, then produces the audit trail a city needs to demonstrate winter service was performed. Software and hardware vendors exhibit next to the vehicle OEMs.
