Mecalac has launched a new range of wheel excavator loaders, the 12-Series, comprising the 12MSX, 12MTX and 12MRX models. Conceived, designed and manufactured in the company’s Annecy plant in France, the 12-Series features the most compact excavators in the world. It stands out for its unique wheel excavator loader concept, which offers versatility combined with both performance and productivity:
The machine can work outside and parallel to the machine foot print area and can be fitted with buckets of up to 750 litres (0.98 yd³) with 360° rotation, maximum dumping height and static loading thanks to its innovative kinematics. The machines have impressive lifting capacities, enhanced safety and easy handling of the forks under ground level and have greater versatility with the CONNECT quick coupler, Mecalac Tiltrotator compatibility and optimised ground speed management independent of attachment feed.
The 12MSX: a high-performance, affordable solution
The 12MSX offers a level of performance and reliability that surpasses traditional 10-ton excavators, while optimising costs. It retains the same architecture as the 12MTX, the same compactness (2710 mm / 8’9” turning diameter), the same 0.75m3 / 0.98yd3 loader bucket and can lift up to 4t / 8,818 lbs at 360°. Its 55 kW (75 hp) engine requires no AdBlue®.
The 12MTX: even greater performance
The 12MTX retains its compactness, its large loader bucket capacity, its 85 kW (115 hp) engine and its impressive lifting performance of up to 4t / 8,818 lbs at 360°. The list of optional features has been extended to include advanced options such as a float boom function, tiltrotator and joystick steering.
The 12MRX: an optimised architecture
It retains all the benefits of the 12MTX, but differs in that it has a more powerful attachment drive pump, wide Heavy Duty axles, travel speeds of up to 40 km/h (25 mph) and greater tractive effort. Most of the new productivity options are standard on the 12MRX. This is the model that incorporates the most advanced technologies.
The all-in-one solution for responsible worksites
A single machine for digging, loading, handling and carrying tools. In the context of climate change, where the need to reduce CO2 emissions is a major global challenge, these machines represent a real asset. Less emissions, less noise, less maintenance and fewer movements on construction sites.
“The 12-Series confirms our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. We are proud to offer three new versions of our iconic excavator, each designed to meet specific objectives while respecting the quality and safety standards for which Mecalac is renowned. The 12-Series stands out for its innovative features and is our key asset for all urban worksites”, says Alexandre MARCHETTA, President of the Mecalac Group.
