Planetary Drive Wheel
Hubs
DRIVE
WHEELS feature a planetary reduction gearbox with an integrated hydraulic motor
and incorporate fail safe multi-disc wet brakes which eliminate creep and
overrun. Hubs are quick disengage freewheeling.
Fully
enclosed engine compartment
SQUIRREL
have a spacious fully enclosed lockable engine compartment
providing ample room to service a range of engines, air compressors and air
receivers. . A
removable 20 let fuel tank allows off-site refuelling and increased security.
Quiet Engine
Engine is
petrol driven, electric with back-up rope start and heavy duty starter solenoid.
The engine base is supported on compression springs which eliminate vibration.
An additional muffler is fitted, ensuring a quiet, pleasant working environment.
Powerful Hydraulic
System
Hydraulics have the capacity to handle steep and adverse conditions. The system
is protected by a very fine 10 micron suction filter. The steel braid hydraulic
hoses are fitted with spring guards to ensure long life.
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 faster operation and
travelling.
Dual caster wheels
Two
independent large diameter 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. Horizontal pivots has a large self lubricating
replaceable bush.

Each machine is
rigorously tested prior to delivery. Design is approved by WorkSafe WA and other
states to Australian Standard AS1418.10. The 53 6 LB Squirrels is approved for 15º
forward & back slopes and 12.5º
sideways at full height (6.5m), increasing to 25º slopes.
.
Bin Forks (optional)
Optional
Extra - A set of solid prong bin forks. These are operated from the cage
enabling the operator to move bins up to 600kg, as required.

Easy lifting
A single
lift point i provides simple,
very safe and balanced lifting for articulated front-end loaders or cranes to
load and unload from trucks.
True all-terrain
All
models are true all-terrain machines. Each SQUIRREL has evenly spaced and loaded
large diameter drive and caster wheels with a powerful Three speed hydraulic
system enabling them to negotiate undulating terrain.

Genuine Foot Controls
The 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 centered 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.
New SD
(Soft Drive) Foot Controls reduce foot
pressure by 50%.
No
more jerky starting & stopping making the squirrel very easy to
operate.
