Mecalac introduces award-winning site dumper with rotating cab 

Mecalac, a designer, manufacturer and distributor of compact construction equipment, launched the Revotruck in North America. Available in 6- and 9-ton payload configurations, the Revotruck is a site dumper that features a rotating cab, aiming to take operator safety to a new level with maximum visibility in all directions, according to the company.

The rotating cab also increases operator safety by eliminating the need to twist and turn for visibility of the travel path and job site. The truck also features a focus on off-road capabilities.

“Careful, thorough research went into the Revotruck’s design. We studied standard site dumpers and identified potential safety hazards for operators to engineer the safest, most ergonomic site dumper on the market from the ground up,” said Peter Bigwood, general manager for Mecalac North America. “The Revotruck illustrates our attention to detail and ability to understand customer needs. The North American market is getting a meticulously designed machine with operator safety and comfort at the forefront of every aspect.” 

Key features include:

• Cab rotation of 225 degrees, eliminating the need to reposition the machine when going from loading to dumping.
• Providing four exit points with steps at each corner of the cab.
• Four-wheel steering chassis, with the central link between the two parts of the chassis offering up to 20 degrees of oscillation.

The Revotruck 6 features a 13,288-pound payload with a total operating weight of 13,040 pounds. For heavier-duty applications, the Revotruck 9 provides a 19,842-pound payload with a 14,473-pound operating weight. Each variant is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission top speed of 17.4 miles per hour to quickly navigate job sites. Both models are powered by a 74-horsepower Tier 4 Final diesel engine.
