THE WORKS Department of the London Borough of Camden has acquired two of these Scarab cleansing vehicles in time for autumnal leaf clearing.
Based on Dodge 50-Series chassis, the vehicles were built by RJP Engineering, of Marden, Kent and have a vacuum cleaning unit with a 150mm diameter wander hose for cleaning areas that cannot be swept manually, such as around parked cars.
The equipment is powered by an independent diesel engine which also drives a highpressure pump for street washing. Capacity of the sideloading body is 3cum.
