  • Bookmark


Pelican boasts a compact size for easy maneuverability along city streets. Provides the digging power to handle heavy, compacted dirt and bulky debris, plus removes small particles found in street. Requires single-lane dumping—won’t hamper traffic flow across multiple lanes. Redesigned features range from a quiet, spacious cab to improved visibility for operator comfort and safety. For instance, isolation-mounted cab contains center console that allows access from left- or right-side driving positions. Fingertip controls include illuminated and graphically identified gauges and rocker switches. Cab also includes large windows, see-through doors with a wide view, and full-width windshield for 360° visibility. For simplified maintenance, sweeper has only a few grease points. To monitor fluid levels, hydraulic tank (located directly behind cab) has a glass inspection tube for easy reading. In addition, operator can view water-level gauge while inside cab.
