The 7.5-tonne GVW Merlin 55 offers a premium payload in its class. Favoured by many municipal operators, the Merlin 55 is the most effective road sweeper available in the 7.5/8.0 tonne GVW range. Scarab’s industry-leading single-engine system delivers a significant payload advantage over any auxiliary-engine powered sweepers on the same chassis. Thanks to this innovative design, this system affords the Merlin 55 a range of powerful sweeping options, such as dual-sweep, high-pressure water and a 900-litre water tank, without compromising the weight or performance of the machine.

Scarab can justifiably claim to be the pioneer of the truck-mounted sweeper powered from a single-engine.

Operating the whole machine from the engine of the truck chassis provides many advantages, including reduced fuel consumption, decreased noise and engine pollution, less weight, greater payload and reduced maintenance.

The Merlin 55 is just one of Scarab's expertly engineered truck-mounted road sweeping solutions. Because of its flexibility, the Merlin 55 can be fitted to a wide variety of chassis from as low as 7.5 tonnes GVW.

Hydrostatic System:

The Scarab designed hydrostatic gearbox is installed in the chassis driveline and allows the sweeping components to be powered directly from the chassis engine. It also offers a range of operator benefits with its simple joystick control for forward and reverse, allowing single-pedal control which reduces fatigue and enables the driver to fully concentrate on sweeping.

Powerful & Reliable Suction Performance

A stainless steel 905.5mm roof-mounted impellor is positioned to produce a short, efficient airflow path for high suction performance and reduced power consumption.

Extensive Sweeping Capabilities

M55 SweepingThe Merlin 55 is available in both single and optional dual sweep configuration. When the suction nozzle, side brush and Widesweep functions are in operation the Merlin 55 can sweep at a 2290mm width. However, the brushes can reach an impressive 2850mm span when simultaneously dual sweeping.

Strong, Robust Hopper

The hopper is completely manufactured from strong, corrosion and abrasion-resistant 4003 Stainless Steel, which is shot blasted before a two-pack epoxy primer is applied followed by a hard-wearing topcoat.

Particulate screening via a hinged stainless-steel mesh filter – swings down for ease of cleaning and access to the stainless-steel inlet cone.

Total, Intuitive Control

CANbus Control

The intuitive CANbus controls and a colour monitor provide comprehensive feedback to both the driver and service team.
