B3 Squirrel aka “Wilson”
Wilson joined the Charteris Choppers team in January 2020 to help fill a gap in the services the company can provide. Adding a bigger machine option means the ability to finish work faster for some clients because of quicker spray application, while a markedly larger lifting capacity of 1.3 to 1.4 tonnes, allows Charteris Choppers to carry out work that they couldn’t before.
