Favoured by many municipal operators, the Merlin 55 is the most effective road sweeper available in the 7.5/8.0 tonne GVW range.
Scarab’s industry-leading single-engine system delivers a significant payload advantage over any auxiliary-engine powered sweepers on the same chassis. Thanks to this innovative design, this system affords the Merlin 55 a range of powerful sweeping options, such as dual-sweep, high-pressure water and a 900-litre water tank, without compromising the weight or performance of the machine.
SINGLE ENGINE, LOWER EMISSION Scarab can justifiably claim to be the pioneer of the truck-mounted sweeper powered from a single-engine. Operating the whole machine from the engine of the truck chassis provides many advantages, including reduced fuel consumption, decreased noise and engine pollution, less weight, greater payload and reduced maintenance. |
FLEXIBLE, TRUCK-MOUNTED SOLUTIONS The Merlin 55 is just one of Scarab's expertly engineered truck-mounted road sweeping solutions. Because of its flexibility, the Merlin 55 can be fitted to a wide variety of chassis from as low as 7.5 tonne GVW. For details on suitable chassis specifications, please contact your local distributor by visiting our Dealer Network. |

Hydrostatic Drive
The Scarab designed hydrostatic gearbox is installed in the chassis driveline and allows the sweeping components to be powered directly from the chassis engine. It also offers a range of operator benefits with its simple joystick control for forward and reverse, allowing single-pedal control which reduces fatigue and enables the driver to fully concentrate on sweeping. -
Suction Performance
A stainless steel 905.5mm roof-mounted impellor is positioned to produce a short, efficient airflow path for high suction performance and reduced power consumption. -
Robust Hopper
The hopper is completely manufactured from strong, corrosion and abrasion-resistant 4003 stainless steel. The hopper is shot blasted, a two-pack epoxy primer is applied and a hard-wearing topcoat provides a superior finish. The particulate screening is hinged and swings down to provide access to the operator for cleaning. -
Sweeping Capability
The Merlin 55 is available in both single and optional dual sweep configuration. When the suction nozzle, side brush and Widesweep functions are in operation the Merlin 55 can sweep at a 2290mm width. However, the brushes can reach an impressive 2850mm span when simultaneously dual sweeping.
Intuitive Control
The intuitive CANbus controls and a colour monitor provide comprehensive feedback to both the driver and service team. The clear display indicates the sweeping configuration and vehicle condition - while also highlighting warnings and service reminders. Our real-time monitoring and data logging provide valuable assistance in troubleshooting technical problems and help keep your machine running at its most efficient.
