Mecalac equipment offers a reach between 0 and 6.50 m, enabling a trench to be opened beyond a wall or a slope thanks to the offset, to sand, load in the narrowest alleyways or lanes, the most difficult sites.

Developments and the attention paid to changes in the needs of the professionals who create our urban landscapes have been at the heart of Mecalac's preoccupations since the company was founded. By combining an excavator and a compact loader in the same machine the 8MCR embodies these values and represents a revolution in the way sites are approached.

Our goal: to modernise work methods and contribute to your sites’ productivity by designing the most suitable equipment.

Thanks to the Active Lock, quick coupling, accessories (back-hoe, ditching, loading buckets, forks, handling plates, etc.) can be changed in just a few seconds.

And the flexibility of the 8MCR goes much further since the auxiliary lines permit the use of a wide variety of hydraulic tools such as hammers, cutters, augers, concrete mixers, etc.

Experience and productivity in pipelines

Adapting to the terrain, second nature

The equipment's lifting capabilities and versatility mean that it will have a thousand different uses for landscapers moving earth, preparing the ground, levelling or transporting pallets.

When fitted with an auger, putting up fences or planting trees becomes simple and effective. And if you need to load or move earth, you are at the controls of a compact loader. Take up your loader bucket and switch to loader mode.

Thanks to its powerful tractive force and low lift, the 8MCR can adapt to any terrain. Its uniquely compact design with folding equipment enables it to reach areas that are otherwise inaccessible, and also lends unsurpassed stability.

When rock filling, it supplies the force needed to move the largest rocks and the greatest precision to adjust their position.

When landscaping a swimming pool, you will appreciate its working range, the flexibility of the offset and of course its operating speed.

Deforesting, ditch clearing, planting, pruning…on any terrain the 8MCR is truly the ideal equipment for green space worksites.

The 8MCR is as responsive and effective when opening up as it is precise when backfilling or handling pallets or materials.

Each worksite is unique and the 8MCR offers multiple solutions for adapting to working conditions without ever losing productivity.

05

Mecalac has a strong tradition of pipe laying and cable installation expertise, and the 8MCR does full justice to this reputation.

No recess is beyond the reach of the integral dipperstick offset, the 8MCR operates rapidly and precisely to remove

materials for recycling in even the narrowest alleyways. It sands as a loader and then lays the conduits and pipes without difficulty.

Even the largest sheeting can be lifted, moved and then set down smoothly and safely.

Its high speed of 10 kph is available at all times and increases productivity significantly. Switching from one mode to another is immediate, tools can be changed very quickly with the Mecalac Active Lock, and each manoeuvre is made under complete control.

compactness

Extensive but often cluttered, building sites call for the use of a variety of machines able to adapt to unstable surfaces. This is ideal terrain for the 8MCR which will be able to fully express its versatility:

4 Transport and deposit pallets at floor level or in a villa's foundations,

4 Earthmoving and landscaping around constructions,

4Cleaning up building areas,

…and its speed:4 Work on platforms in loader mode with

speed, precision and efficiency.

A new star is born, moving as fast as 10 kph and bringing in its wake a range of benefits: manoeuvrability, speed, space management, performance…and a new pleasure.

2,66 m

Fewer vehicle deployments means lower fuel consumption, less damage and ground compaction, less annoyance for local residents, fewer dangers for site workers and improved productivity because of fewer stoppages.

The large glazed area and the sloping lines of the rear and side covers offer complete, all-round visibility, guaranteeing productivity and safety... yet another advantage of Mecalac's compact design.

10 kph, an exceptional speed, regardless of mode, considerably reduces the time spent travelling between the different parts of the site (material, pallet, accessory storage areas, earthmoving area, etc), a further guarantee of the efficiency of your work.

Designed for intuitive operation selecting excavator mode, or compact loader mode

A selector enables you to choose the operating method using ISO standardised excavator or compact loader controls. Familiarisation is instant and the single mode of operation thanks to grouped functions and the transformation of into loader mode using the control lever.

The 8MCR is then operated with just one hand with remarkable precision. Installed in a very spacious cab with a large glazed area, the operator remains comfortably installed in their seat and enjoys a perfect view of their environment, guaranteeing productivity and safety.

A new TFT colour screen makes the control panel very easy to use. Regardless of brightness, the operator can easily view all useful information: mode currently being used, speed, engine speed, number of hours, cylinder selected, safety features activated.

the 8MCR digs and then discharges to the rear in just 2.66 m.

Its compactness is actively expressed in each of the tasks it carries out.

Thanks to Mecalac equipment's unique drive train, you can:

4�Dig, offload including from the edge of the blade or tracks,

4�Backfill as you go adjacent to the tracks with the loader buckets,

4 Safely handle a load of more than 3 tonnes,

4 Distribute pallets on site or unload a lorry using forks and deposit them behind a wall or a fence, at a height or in the foundations of a building.

Mecalac, driven by Innovation!Innovation has been Mecalac's battle cry for 35 years, supplying its clients with specialised products which marry flexibility and performance.

We have won several trophies to reward us for the results of our policy, which only serve to strengthen our desire and

our commitment.

Active coNtRoLLoAD SeNSiNG : optimum equipment pressure suited to the effort requested,

FLow ShARiNG : pump output shared among all controls, simultaneous movement

cyLiNDeR coupLiNG : simultaneous control of boom cylinders and tandem drive with a single joystick or control the equipment in 3 stages without using the pedal.

The 8MCR transforms into a compact loader in a 1/4 of a second, the time needed to change from one mode to the other with the selector.

The simplicity of this action is made possible by a new hydraulic cascade system, patented by Mecalac and completely invisible to the operator, who can use the same controls to access the features, advantages and performance of the versatile Mecalac excavator or the compact loader.
