Newtownabbey Borough Council add another 2 Scarab heavy duty sweepers to their existing Scarab fleet of sweepers.

With emphasis on environmental benefits and performance, the Scarab Magnum hydrostatic mounted on a 15 tonne GVW DAF55 chassis adds considerably to the fleets daily collection potential. With a legal payload of over 6500kgs the Scarab Magnum is seen as the best possible addition to the fleet of truck mounted sweepers. Newtownabbey's emphasis on environmental benefits across their fleet of sweepers, is enhanced by all the Scarab sweepers being "single engined", thereby achieving significant exhaust emission reductions and large fuel savings at a time when whole life costs included further savings made on subsequent spares and maintenance that have been achieved with the current Scarab fleet and are playing a significant part in reducing council cleansing costs.

In addition to the large Scarab Magnum, Newtownabbey BC took delivery of a new Scarab Minor for precinct and urban road cleansing. The Scarab Minor has a unique brush combination, two large polypropylene front brushes, heavy duty steel tined channel brush, full width wide sweep brush with a side suction nozzle - a brush configuration as found on a large truck mounted sweeper - ensuring the Scarab Minor can handle the most arduous conditions around the Newtownabbey district.

The Scarab fleet are supported locally by McCreath Taylor (NI) Ltd, who represent Scarab Sweepers for Northern Ireland.
