Scarab Minor VM - Euro 4

Hydrostatic

The Scarab Minor VM Hydrostatic Sweeper is one of the most powerful compact urban road and precinct sweepers, incorporating the latest in technology and design. The Minor is powered by a VM Motori 3.0 litre turbo-charged Euro 4 diesel engine with high-pressure direct injection (HDI) to reduce both fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.The Scarab hydrostatic drive system gives the vehicle a travel speed of 65 kph and a gradeability of 25% (1in 4). The hydraulic drive is controlled by a proven electronic system that optimises the engine power, to give very smooth acceleration/deceleration and variable governed engine speed for sweeping with the additional benefit of cruise control. The sweeper is mounted on a 3500/4200 kg
1 G.V.W. sprung chassis. The standard vehicle is supplied with a fully equipped cab, power steering and servo-assisted brakes.Technical innovation and advanced design make the Scarab Minor VM an extremely versatile compact urban/precinct sweeper, capable of undertaking most arduous sweeping tasks including those normally undertaken by larger truck-mounted sweepers. CAB: The fully appointed rubber mounted and sound insulated custom cab is manufactured from corrosion resistant steel. A gas-strut assisted tilt mechanism and safety prop afford easy and safe access to the engine for servicing. Standard features include cloth covered adjustable driver’s and passenger’s seats, laminated windscreen, a rear window and sliding side-windows plus a glazed lower panel in each door. CHASSIS: The Scarab Minor VM chassis has been designed specifically for sweeper applications. Constructed from high tensile steel channel-section to withstand the abuse of operation under the most severe conditions, it is fully sprung with shock absorbers and anti-roll bars on front and rear axles. Single front wheels and twin rear wheels give the chassis a very low footprint loading when operating on paving slabs and other surfaces. Power steering and servo-assisted front disc and rear drum brakes are also standard equipment. FRONT AXLE: Heavy-duty steel ‘ I ’ beam rigid steer axle plated at 1800 kg, fitted with wheel hubs mounted on taper roller bearings, the kingpins being on needle bearings.
