| | Compact lengthThe high king pin post allows the boom length to be significantly shorter and results in greater Squirrel mobility. With the SQUIRREL 505 the overall length with cage down is 4.4m with the king pin post height being 1.9m. 505 LV Low voltage insulation (optional extra) pictured left. |
Fully enclosed engine compartmentThe bonnets are made from heavy steel and will not break with fallen or overhanging branches. For security, the bonnets are lockable and swing up with a gas strut to give easy access for servicing.

| | Powerful Triple Pump Hydraulic SystemHydraulics have the capacity to handle steep and adverse conditions. The system is protected by a very large fine 10 micron suction filter. Three hydraulic pumps are fitted, 1 pump for boom lift & side swing, 2 pumps for drive wheels. This 3 pump system keep the pressures low. Soft Drive. Special valving is fitted that gives a soft start and stop, this allows the operator to drive safely. The engine base is supported on springs to eliminate vibration. 55 lt fuel tankThe SQUIRREL engine is fitted with a mechanical fuel pump, fuel filter and has a 55 litre steel fuel tank to allow for up to 2-3 days use. |
| Planetary Drive Wheel Hubs We have our own design very heavy duty 8:1 planetary reduction gearbox with an integrated powerful hydraulic motor and incorporate fail safe multi-disc wet brakes which eliminate creep and auto brakes smoothly when driving down a hill. Hubs are standard with quick disengage freewheeling. This is the most powerful efficient drive giving maximum torque to the drive wheels. torque at low speed with 350 bar seals.

 | Dual caster wheelsTwo independent caster wheels with an additional horizontal pivot provide a very smooth ride over uneven terrain or street kerbs. As one wheel mounts a kerb the other stays at the original level. Effectively the height of the kerb is halved. This allows the operator to comfortably work safely and quickly. These wheels also greatly reduce the possibility of bogging because of their independent rolling action. |
Genuine Foot ControlsThe SQUIRREL is a machine with unique foot controls, giving three dimensional movement without the operator shifting his feet. A wide seat belt holds the operator directly above the foot pedals giving a safe and comfortable working position. The fully adjustable spring centred foot pedals allow you to continue working with both hands free AT ALL TIMES. This proven feature alone makes the SQUIRREL the most efficient machine. Safe in and out of Cage The SQUIRRELs Cage: is safe and easy to enter and exit - no bending and twisting under hand rails. It is automatically closed and latched with 2 separate latches. As the rear seat belt is attached, getting in and out is safe and fast. To un-latch it requires 2 fingers to lift two latches, then push back. The latch handles are recessed in the back inside corner. The Squirrel gate is fully OHS safety compliant providing the safest way to access the cage, no bending and twisting your back as in other EWPs. |  |
 | Hydraulic Three SpeedThree 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. |
