Mecalac added its MWR Series of wheeled excavators to the North American market. It consists of three models (7MWR, 9MWR and 11MWR) to help meet the needs of operations in the construction, landscaping and forestry industries, as well as municipalities and utility construction.

The MWR Series of wheeled excavators enables maneuverability in tight working areas, offering the flexibility and versatility of a skid-steer or compact track loader in one machine.

Each of the three models in the MWR series offers speed in a compact footprint. The smallest of the three, the 7MWR, offers variable speed between zero and 19 mph. Two of the larger models, the 9MWR and 11MWR, provide contractors standard travel speeds between zero and 12 mph with an option for higher speed up to 22 mph on the 9MWR and up to 19mph on the 11MWR.

A 75-hp (55.4-kilowatt) engine is standard on each model. The smallest model is capable of lifting three metric tons at 10 feet (3 meters) through 360 degrees.

Using Mecalac’s patented hydraulic quick coupler, transitions between attachments such as buckets or forks can be made in under a minute from inside the cab. Equipped with a set of forks, the MWR machines can replace a telescopic handler or rough terrain forklift and another operator. The Mecalac patented boom system even allows for unloading pallets below grade.
