The stability of a crawler… on wheels!

Mecalac MWR excavators open new horizons to the business

By lowering the center of gravity of the new MWR relative to its competitors, Mecalac revolutionizes by 100% the world of wheeled excavators.

Ripple effects on all levels, from stability to accessibility, safety and all-terrain mobility, the MWR gains in balance and power with no loss of performance. The result: a machine with XS proportions but XL lifting power, versatility, and stability.

The new MWRs benefit from 360° iso stability: this means the machine’s stability remains the same regardless of the rotation angle of the upper carriage.

Lift, place, move, unload... all without moving. The new MWRs transform worksite logistics thanks to their incredible stability in any position and on any terrain. Whatever the conditions, they stay balanced both when travelling in transfer operations between sites as well as during work phases. This gives them 360° lifting performance – an extraordinary feat.

Besides helping lower the center of gravity, the position of the tank in the undercarriage and its large capacity mean that the driver no longer has to carry out any operation at height. Filling the tank is as easy as it is safe. Because daily maintenance should always be risk-free.

Have you ever wondered why the cab door on wheeled excavators is always placed above the wheel and not above the steps ? So did we. With MWRs, enjoy direct, safe access into the cab. Thanks to the lowered center of gravity of the machine, the cab is perfectly accessible to the driver, with minimum effort and minimum risk.

Thanks to the unique central selector, the driver can switch into road or parking mode with the flip of a switch, saving up to ten separate steps. With this worldwide exclusive, everything can be done instantly by selecting the desired configuration. This guarantees faultless and ultrasafe driving on construction sites, leaving the driver free to focus on the task at hand with full control of the machine. This enhances safety by eliminating the risk that an operator will forget to activate the appropriate settings for on/off road driving. With MWR, it's automatic.

With their XS dimensions and exceptional angular displacement of the boom, the MWRs can work in the smallest areas. 

At Mecalac, we design in compactness in every dimension, not just at the rear. So the boom can be tucked in tightly in the front, and stay low overhead – because restricted space jobsites are restricted all around.

The new MWRs can be equipped with 4 steering wheels thus allowing you to do a U-turn practically on the spot and effectively overcome all obstacles.

The goal: ensuring maximum mobility in narrow spaces. The crab-steering mode will help you get out of any confined area, even along walls, with a minimum amount of maneuvering.
