The Pelican’s high steering angle and tight turning radius allows for quick turns, sweeping extremely close to obstacles and following curbs without climbing or scuffing tires. The dual-tire guide wheel increases stability and steering traction.
The Pelican’s front dump hopper is ideal for single-lane dumping, which ensures minimal traffic interruption. The hopper can be dumped from ground level up to 9 ft 6 in (2895 mm) high. The load can be easily observed from the cab by lifting and rolling the hopper. The hopper’s 3.5 cu yd (2.7 cu m), 9,000 lb (4082 kg) capacity provides maximum sweep time. For easy inspection, the hopper rolls out and rests on the ground.
Swing-arm suspension with twin parallel heavy-duty shock absorbing spring coils and an integrated single coil rubber spring assist provide effective suspension dampening through the entire range of travel. The design enhances ride quality and comfort in the cab while reducing stress on the sweeper frame – especially when operating in pothole conditions or on rough, uneven roads.
