Air Chainsaws
Pistol grip and telescopic extensions.
When using air chainsaws, additional oil lubrication is required for the chain. We make a holding rack which holds oil. Each time the saw is replaced in the rack it receives additional lubrication.
|
Pruning Tray
There are a range of trays that can be bolted onto the front or sides of the Squirrel cage.
|
Chain saw rack
Chain saws are lightweight
This is standard or rubber coated for low voltage insulated Squirrels.
|
Hydraulic Outlets in cage
When using hydraulic pruning tools hydraulic outlets are required. We fit 3/8"quick disconnect release couplings, bypass valve and relief valve to the cage to protect the hydraulic tool.

Tested and certified to AS1418.10. Includes rubber coated cage, boom and stabilizer bar; insulated hydraulic hoses and cage pivots. There are multiple points of insulation joints so good insulation is maintained. The Squirrel cage still has safe, fast rear access through a gate - no climbing over the top of the cage. Recommended for street tree pruning near power lines.

15.5" Wide Drive Wheels
31x1550x15x 8 ply wheels pictures on Left. 26x1200x12 pictured on right (std). The larger wheel provides maximum traction and stability. This option is recommended when working in very soft or steep ground conditions. When these are fitted the caster wheel is also raised. The outside width of the tyres do not change.
|
Rocker Bogey drive wheels
This option provides the best traction and stability. The engine must be upgraded to 21hp.
|
Hydraulic wheel shift
The drive wheels are hydraulically extended and retracted for transport. Wheels are pushed out and held under pressure as the Squirrel is driven along (approx 10 metres). By switching a hydraulic valve, wheels are retracted in the same manner. This function is fast, safe and fool-proof.
|
Tail lights
Tail lights (LED) are fully protected from prunings. They are required if working on the roadside or towing along roads.
|
Amber flashing Beacon
Amber light is fully protected from falling debris. This option is recommended if working on the roadside or industrial sites. Some applications may require two lights.
