Consisting of three models — 7MWR, 9MWR and 11MWR — the series features a range of benefits to help meet the needs of operations in the construction, landscaping and forestry industries, as well as municipalities and utility construction. They are purpose-built for maximum maneuverability in tight working areas, offering the flexibility and versatility of a skid steer or compact track loader in one machine and delivering higher speed and mobility than tracked excavators.
Each of the three models in the MWR series offers speed in a compact footprint. The smallest 7MWR offers variable speed up to 19 mph and the larger models 9MWR and 11MWR have standard travel speeds up to 12 mph with an option for up to 22 mph on the 9MWR and up to 19 mph on the 11MWR.
The MWR series machines have a center of gravity that is 20 percent lower than competitive models while still maintaining a high ground clearance. With four-wheel steering, they are incredibly maneuverable and feature a turn radius 2.5 times more compact than a traditional wheeled excavator.
A 75-horsepower engine is standard on each model; the smallest model can lift 3 metric tons at 10 feet 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.
