Mecalac Construction Equipment UK has commenced production on its new MDX cabbed site dumper range, less than a year after it debuted at the INTERMAT exhibition.
The range aims to set the standards in site safety and is available in both six and nine-tonne payloads (6MDX and 9MDX).
For the 6MDX, an operating weight of 4,950kg ensures great manoeuvrability, while boasting a top speed of 25kph for improved productivity. The 9MDX offers similarly impressive statistics, with a narrow body width for effective operation in tight spaces and tall operating height for best-in-class visibility and ground clearance.
Both models adopt a highly-efficient 3.4L, 55kw Perkins 854 IIIB-compliant engine, generating 424Nm of torque. DPF exhaust after-treatment (with passive regeneration) ensures both models meet international emissions standards, while next generation Power Brakes, driven by the main hydraulic system, deliver significant improvement in pedal feel and braking effort.
The range also features optional air conditioning and an all-new dashboard design.
High-visibility access steps ensure safe entry and exit for operators, while flashing green seatbelt beacons, LED work lights and protected tail lights ensure each model is both visible on site and suitable for both day and night operation.
Each MDX model is fitted as standard with Mecalac's Shield technology packs to further enhance site dumper safety for operators nationwide. Available on ROPS machine with stage V.
The MDX cabbed site dumper range is manufactured at Mecalac's UK production facility in Coventry.
Each model is available through approved dealers nationwide.
