Mecalac Construction Equipment UK has taken home gold in the Engineering & Design category at this year\u2019s Plantworx Innovation Awards. The ceremony, which took place at the East of England Arena & Events Centre (12 June), celebrated innovative companies, products and services that have made a major industry impact over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n
Renowned for its innovative design and first-to-market operator technologies, Mecalac was recognised for its all-new Revotruck product. A revolutionary earthmoving concept, Revotruck is a rear dump truck when carrying materials and a highly manoeuvrable site dumper \u2013 enabling the operator to face the skip \u2013 when loading and unloading.<\/p>\n
With the ambition of setting the standards in site safety, Revotruck makes material transport smarter than ever before. Operators can receive a load facing the skip, before rotating the entire cab via a multidirectional joystick to face the direction of travel with no visual obstructions \u2013 improving productivity, minimising risk, maximising operator safety.<\/p>\n
Perfect for even the tightest sites, operators benefit from three steering modes (2-wheel, 4-wheel and 4-wheel crab), as well as the tightest turning radius on the market. With two load capacity options \u2013 six and nine-tonnes \u2013 Revotruck is powered by a Stage V-compliant 74hp Perkins turbocharged engine, delivering 380Nm torque @ 1,380rpm.<\/p>\n
First unveiled at BAUMA, but with the concept set to be revealed to UK construction professionals at Plantworx, Mecalac is already reporting widespread interest from both the UK and further afield.<\/p>\n
Heath Davies, General Manager at Mecalac Construction Equipment UK, commented: \u201cAs a brand at the global forefront of compact equipment innovation, we continue to invest heavily in bringing ground-breaking new products to market. Taking home gold at the Plantworx Innovation Awards for Revotruck is testament to the team\u2019s hard work and dedication.
