Mecalac has launched the latest generation of its 12-Series wheeled excavator-loader machines.

The France-based compact-machine manufacturer says the new three-strong range reflects its commitment to providing efficient solutions that simplify and accelerate work.

The new models are the 12MSX, the 12MTX and the 12MRX, and Mecalac says the 12-Series  stands out for its unique wheeled excavator-loader concept, offering versatility combined with exceptional performance and productivity.

The 12-Series machines can work outside and parallel to the machine footprint area and can be fitted with buckets of up to 750 litres. More than a loader, the machines have 360° rotation, maximum dumping height and static loading thanks to their innovative kinematics.

  • More than just a telescopic handler: impressive lifting capacities, enhanced safety and easy handling of the forks under ground level.
  • More than just a tool carrier: greater versatility with the CONNECT quick coupler, Mecalac Tiltrotator compatibility and optimised ground-speed management independent of attachment feed.

“The 12-Series confirms our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. We are proud to offer three new versions of our iconic excavator, each designed to meet specific objectives while respecting the quality and safety standards for which Mecalac is renowned.  

The 12-Series stands out for its innovative features and is our key asset for all urban worksites,” said Alexandre Marchetta, president of the Mecalac Group.

All three models retain the key features that defined the success of the 12MTX concept: the capability to dig, load, and handle while excelling as the ultimate tool carrier. With a simple click, operators can transform the machine into an excavator, a loader or telehandler and benefit from the best of each function in any circumstance.
