New CONNECT quick coupler from Mecalac

CONNECT from Mecalac is a new quick coupler system being launched on the company’s new 12MTX, 10tonne wheeled excavator. The coupler system can be operated from the cabin, and says Mecalac, the loss of an attachment is virtually impossible. The system reduces by 70% the weight of the previous Mecalac quick coupler, and it can be used to pick up all types of attachments, buckets, shovels, loading forks or hydraulic attachments.

MWR: Mecalac’s “new architecture” for wheeled excavators

Observing its customers' work and construction sites, Mecalac says it has been able to identify an area for improvement for wheeled excavators: their stability. “The very architecture of this type of vehicle, connected to an oscillating axle under the undercarriage and an upper carriage, gives it an intrinsically higher centre of gravity. This results in a lack of stability which leads to discomfort and insecurity,” says Mecalac. “On top of this, the inconvenient height of the cab means that the opera
