"Elgin Sweeper has always been a pioneer in street sweeping innovation, and the new digital control panel on the Pelican reaffirms our commitment to the future of smart, connected municipal equipment," said Chad Schiele, Product Manager, Elgin Sweeper. "Cities today need tools that are both powerful and intuitive, and this upgrade delivers exactly that – while maintaining the Pelican's legendary durability and performance."

The advanced digital control panel replaces the traditional analog gauge displays with a durable, high-visibility touchscreen that centralizes key vehicle functions. The system offers intuitive graphics, simplified controls and multilanguage support – making it easier than ever for operators to get the job done.

Key Benefits for Municipalities and Operators:

• Intelligent diagnostics. Real-time fault detection and system monitoring help maintenance teams quickly identify issues, reducing vehicle downtime and repair costs.
• Simplified training & operation. The user-friendly interface shortens training time for new operators and improves usability across varying experience levels.
• Operational efficiency. On-screen prompts and guided functions improve sweeping precision and reduce operator fatigue during long shifts.
• Data logging. The system captures operational data that can be reviewed for performance trends, route planning and fleet optimization.
• Built to last: Engineered for rugged use, the panel is water-resistant, glove-friendly and highly visible in sunlight or at night.

The three-wheel Pelican sweeper, based on a mechanical sweeper design trusted for over a century, continues to evolve with the changing needs of cities. With this technology integration, Elgin Sweeper is helping communities modernize their street maintenance efforts with tools that are smarter, safer and more efficient.

"The Pelican is already known for its maneuverability and 360-degree visibility," said Schiele. "The new digital control panel provides that next step in efficiency for operators, which helps sweeping programs increase productivity even more."
