Mecalac Unveils Game-Changing 12-Series Wheeled Excavator Loaders
The Mecalac Group, a global leader in compact construction machinery, has once again raised the bar with its latest innovation – the Mecalac 12-Series.
This trio of wheel excavator loaders, featuring the 12MSX, 12MTX, and 12MRX models, is set to revolutionise urban worksites by combining versatility, performance, and sustainability. Designed and manufactured in Annecy, France, the 12-Series reflects Mecalac’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions tailored to the evolving demands of the industry.
A Compact Marvel
The 12-Series isn’t just a collection of machines; it’s a testament to engineering ingenuity. With their unique wheel excavator loader design, these machines redefine what it means to be versatile and efficient on urban worksites.
- Excavator Extraordinaire: Compact yet powerful, the 12-Series can operate outside and parallel to its footprint, equipped with buckets up to 750 litres (0.98 yd³).
- Loader Redefined: Featuring 360° rotation and maximum dumping height, it offers static loading capabilities powered by innovative kinematics.
- Telescopic Handler Enhanced: With impressive lifting capacities and user-friendly safety features, it excels at handling forks below ground level.
- Tool Carrier Plus: The CONNECT quick coupler, Mecalac Tiltrotator compatibility, and independent ground speed management make it an unmatched multitasker.
12MSX: Compact and Cost-Effective
The 12MSX delivers a cost-effective yet high-performance solution that surpasses the capabilities of traditional 10-ton excavators. Retaining the compactness and versatility of the 12MTX, it boasts a loader bucket capacity of 0.75m³ (0.98 yd³) and a lifting capacity of up to 4 tonnes (8,818 lbs) at 360°. Its 55 kW (75 hp) engine eliminates the need for AdBlue®, offering reduced operating costs without compromising performance.
12MTX: An Evolution of an Icon
The 12MTX builds on Mecalac’s legacy with enhancements designed for today’s demanding projects. Compact and robust, it features an 85 kW (115 hp) engine and the same impressive lifting performance as the 12MSX. With advanced options like a float boom function, joystick steering, and a tiltrotator, it’s an ideal choice for operators seeking greater productivity and adaptability.
12MRX: Productivity Redefined
Taking things up a notch, the 12MRX is designed for heavy-duty performance. It features a more powerful attachment drive pump, wide heavy-duty axles, and travel speeds of up to 40 km/h (25 mph). With enhanced tractive effort and most productivity options standard, this model represents the pinnacle of the 12-Series lineup.
Efficiency Meets Sustainability
In today’s climate-conscious world, the 12-Series stands out as a beacon of eco-responsibility. By consolidating multiple functions—digging, loading, handling, and carrying—into one machine, the 12-Series reduces CO2 emissions, noise pollution, and on-site movements. This all-in-one solution not only supports environmental goals but also slashes operational costs.
Revolutionising the User Experience
Mecalac’s 12-Series isn’t just about machines; it’s about transforming the way operators interact with equipment. Key improvements include:
- Enhanced Safety: Advanced features like the CONNECT quick coupler ensure secure and efficient attachment changes.
- Intuitive Controls: Options like joystick steering and tiltrotators offer precision and ease of use.
- Optimised Maintenance: Streamlined designs mean reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs.
