When Walsall Mbc decided to replace 2 competitors 15 tonne Truck Mounted Sweepers they turned to Scarab to build them, One of the many contributing factors in choosing Scarab according to Walsall MBC's Procurement Officer Den Edwards was "Scarab’s willingness to listen to the customer and provide everything we asked for nothing was too much trouble".
They decided to purchase 2 Scarab Twin Engine Mistrals both with 6.2 Cubic Metre Hoppers and built on Mercedes 1324 Atego Chassis complete with an Auto gearbox, required In the specification were electronic light boards which were fitted to the rear of the sweepers making the vehicles far more visible to the public which also in turn gives the operatives added peace of mind that they can be seen more easily . Included in the bespoke sweeper spec is Scarabs new and innovative CANbus 3 control and diagnostics system which not only simplifies the whole operating process and gives the operator a visual feedback via the large Colour Monitor but also gives Technicians important fault diagnosis information when if they should arise which all helps in keeping the machine in its best condition and on the road where it should be.
