MECALAC has revealed plans to showcase its ‘industry-defining’ REVOTRUCK concept to the UK market at Plantworx next week.
Combining a revolving cabbed dumper with off-road trucking capabilities, Mecalac said REVOTRUCK makes material transport ‘smarter and safer’ than ever before.
Thanks to its ‘unique’ chassis and central oscillation, operators can receive a load before rotating the cab at the touch of a button to face the direction of travel with no visual obstructions.
With two load capacity options – a six-tonne and nine-tonne variant – the new model is powered by a Stage V-compliant 74hp Perkins turbocharged engine, delivering 380Nm torque at 1,380rpm and featuring a DOC and DPF as standard.
Operators can benefit from ‘unrestricted access’ to all corners of the cab. This means you can enter and exit the machine quickly, regardless of the position of the operator station. Three steering modes (2-wheel, 4-wheel and 4-wheel crab) are included.
REVOTRUCK is a rear dump truck when carrying materials and a site dumper when loading and unloading.
Visitors to Plantworx 2023 will be able to see the concept model up close, with the official launch set to take place later this year.
Mecalac will also be displaying models from its latest range of compact construction equipment. The line-up is scheduled to include an 8MCR crawler-skid excavator, 9MWR wheeled excavator, AX1000 articulated loader, TLB890 backhoe loader, MBR-71 single drum pedestrian roller, 3.5MDX and 6MDX cabbed site dumpers, and several ROPS models from its TA site dumper suite.
Mark Royse, head of sales at Mecalac Construction Equipment UK, said, “A brand at the global forefront of compact equipment design and innovation, we’re renowned for our pioneering products, first-to-market technologies and rental-tough build quality. As part of our commitment to innovation, we continue to invest heavily in R&D to expand our diverse portfolio and bring ground-breaking new products to market.
“REVOTRUCK is a revolutionary concept designed from the ground up, with the key aim of transforming operator thinking when it comes to safety, efficiency and productivity on site. Offering an agile solution, perfect for even the tightest sites, operators benefit from three steering modes, as well as the tightest turning radius on the market.
“Following it’s preview at Bauma in October 2022 we’re already seeing pre-orders from both the UK and further afield.”
