Mecalac MCR6 fast track excavator joins growing line-up

French excavator and loader manufacturer Mecalac will launch its MCR6 compact excavator at Bauma. The machine, seen in prototype form at last year’s Intermat show, has a travel speed of up to 10km/h and can be used as both a skid steer loader and an excavator. Built at a new site in Turkey, the MCR6 weighs in at 6 tonnes and is powered by a 55kW (75hp) engine. In excavator mode the machine has a maximum tearout force of 2,400daN and a breakout force of 3,900daN.

Mecalac Group has introduced the MCR6 compact excavator, first previewed at last year’s Intermat exhibition. A combination of both compact excavator and loader in a single machine, the MCR6 joins the larger MCR8 and MCVR10 in the Mecalac line. Capable of travelling at speeds up to 10km/h, the MCR machines can switch from excavator to loader mode in seconds, providing customers with a highly versatile machine. The MCR6 weighs in at 6tonnes and is powered by a 55kW engine. Maximum tearout force in excavator c

Mecalac is expanding its telescopic handler offering with the introduction of a line of four-wheel steer telescopic machines. The AT series will initially consist of two machines the AT900 and the AT1050, both using what Mecalac calls Z plus kinematics to provide strong breakout forces with a parallel lift. The AT900 weighs 6,554kg and can be used with 0.9-1.5m3 capacity buckets. The larger AT1050 has been designed to work with 1.05-1.6m3 buckets and offers slightly high breakout forces and dump height.
