Scarab Merlin - Model 10 to 15 Tonne GVW -Single Engine Road Sweeper
From 10 to 15 Tonne GVW - Single Engine Technology for a Cleaner World. The Scarab Merlin roadsweeper is equally at home in municipal, urban or contracting activities, having been designed for mounting on truck chassis in the 10 - 15 tonne GVW range. The choice of Hydrostatic or Unidrive allows selection of the transmission and power-delivery system that best suits a user’s chassis and operational needs. The ability to combine different chassis, drive systems and water tanks ensures that the Merlin is an agile machine with exceptional on-task endurance.
The Merlin can be fitted to a wide choice of chassis including those from DAF, Iveco, MAN, Mercedes, Volvo, Renault, Hino and UD.
Single Engine
Scarab can justifiably claim to be the champion behind the modern day success of the truck-mounted street sweeper powered from a Single Engine.
Operating the whole machine from the engine of the truck chassis provides many advantages, for example:
- Less fuel consumption
- Lower noise
- Lower engine emissions
- Less maintenance & downtime
Hydrostatic Single Engine
A Scarab designed hydrostatic gearbox is installed in the chassis driveline to exactly suit any customers’ chassis and application. Hydrostatic drive, plus a simple joystick control for Forward and Reverse, allows single-pedal control reducing fatigue and enabling the driver to fully concentrate on sweeping.
Unidrive Single Engine
The sweeping equipment is powered from a Power Take Off (PTO) fitted to the truck engine. The Magnum control system manages engine speed to ensure optimum sweeping performance. The sweeper is usually operated in a low gear for slow speed. An optional reduction gearbox is available where necessary.
Scarab’s CANbus control system has revolutionised the way sweepers are operated and maintained.
Intuitive controls and a conveniently positioned colour monitor provide comprehensive levels of feedback to both operating and service personnel.
A graphical display indicates the sweeping configuration and conditions of the vehicle systems including warnings and regular service reminders. Real-time monitoring and datalogging provides valuable assistance in resolving problems and achieving optimum machine performance.
Scarab CANbus includes universal connectors for fitment of Global positioning System (GPS) and the option of real-time data via telematic up-link.
