Crendon - Model Squirrel 558 SD-D -Self Propelled Elevating Work Platform

Side Swing Cage

This cage swing allows the operator to reach a greater area instantly without moving the base of the machine.

Low back and Compact length

The Squirrel 558 has a low back and low profile bonnets. Cage, bonnets and frame back have large rounded corners so overhanging branches easily deflect. The 558 is short in design (about .5m shorter than other machines the same height in the market)

Quiet Engine

A V-twin cylinder 21HP petrol engine. The exhaust is extended and piped low down to the rear of the Squirrel away from workers. Engine auto stops when oil pressure is low.

E-Stop and Start switch, reset circuit breaker are accessible without lifting the bonnet.
83 lt fuel tank

The SQUIRREL engine is fitted with a mechanical fuel pump, fuel filter and has a 83 litre steel fuel tank to allow for up to 5 days use.

Large storage area

There is a large storage area in front of the engine bay 1.2m x 0.48m  for storage box for wet weather gear, safety harness etc.

Bin Forks  Standard

 A set of solid prong bin forks are operated from the cage enabling the operator to move bins up to 600kg.a

Wide Twin Caster Wheels

Two independent caster wheels with an additional horizontal pivot provides a very smooth ride over uneven terrain or ruts.  As one wheel falls into a rut the other stays at the original level.  Effectively the depth of the rut is halved.  This allows the operator to comfortably work safely and quickly.  Most other makes of EWP’s caster wheel assembly is rigid, so the Squirrel is much more manoeuvrable in mounded or terraced rows.

Hydraulic Three Speed

Three speed is a standard feature which operates independently from the variable engine rpm, enabling the operator to select a wide range of speeds for safe and faster operation. There is a toggle stick in the cage to change speeds, which can be done while driving.
A safety height sensor switches gear 3 off and reverts to gear 2 when the cage is raised above  1/3rd height.

• Gear 1 slow speed steady work at heights.
• Gear 2  steady to fast work speed.
• Gear 3  travelling speed.
