The Mecalac 15MC, with the unique ability to ditch or dump from the side, is a great tool for municipalities or contractors.

The unique boom design gives the Mecalac 10MCR far more versatility than a standard compact excavator.

The 7MWR compact wheeled excavator is the most versatile machine in its class — it can dig and grade while also functioning as a telehandler.

This spring, Mecalac is featuring its unique line of compact earthmoving equipment during Mecalac Road Shows held at various dealer locations up and down the East Coast.

The events recently kicked off at Case Power and Equipment locations in Miami and Orlando. The full spectrum of Mecalac machines was demonstrated performing various tasks with skilled professional operators, showing just how versatile each machine is. Single machines with the ability to grade, backfill, excavate and forklift materials more than 20 ft. into the air and load a 20-ft. 10-wheel dump are unique in the industry.

"We had a similar road show last year for our dealers in the Northeast U.S. and Canada – as well as one event in Denver – with great success," said Peter Bigwood, president of Mecalac North America. "It's one thing to show a customer a video or a brochure about the unique features of our product, but when you can bring them into the dealership's yard and give them some seat time, it's a far more informative experience."

Unique Equipment for Unique Project

Tom Ault of Oviedo, Fla., has a 50-year history with construction equipment and is currently involved in building something rather unique for himself — a "hanger home," which is a combination house/airplane hangar and is a concept catching on among small aircraft owners.

Ault had recently visited Case Power and Equipment's store and the Mecalac machines caught his eye, so he returned for the Mecalac event to learn more about the machines and he was not disappointed.

"It was really great to see these machines in the hands of a highly skilled operator," he said. "It really drove home the diversity and stability of these machines. I have about 200,000 pounds of material that I have to move as just a small portion of the project. To rent a Lull to just move that material for a few days cost me over $1,400. The Mecalac can act as a telehandler, an excavator and a grader, all in one machine, and I can load it up and pull it behind my pickup truck. It's really the most unique piece of equipment I have ever seen." CEG
