| Fully Independent Four caster wheels.Four Ø670mm x 200mm wide independent caster flotation wheels on a pivoting cross axle assists with a smooth ride over difficult terrain. The main cross axle rocks 15º each way and each caster wheel assemble also rocks 15º each way. With other makes of EWPs their main cross axle is only rocked by less than 3º-5º or no pivot at all and their caster wheel assemble is also rigid, so this makes the Squirrel much more manoeuvrable in mounded or terraced rows. |
Wide tyres standard (790mm Ø x 350mm wide)The 818 BSD-D comes standard with bogie drive Ø790mm wheels on walking beam, planetary 8:1 gearbox with hydraulic motor for each wheel, fail-safe brakes. The big wheels give the Squirrel superior traction and smooth ride over difficult terrain without bogging. |  |

| With large drive & caster wheel, more grip, less bogging, smother ride = increasing productivityThe larger wider wheels (right on the right side in each picture) are standard, make driving over large branches, wheel ruts and soft ground a lot easier and smoother, enabling the operator to continue driving and picking efficiently. On the left side of each picture is what most other makes of EWPs use. |
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.
