this has realy caught my eye.

A contractor in cornwall has 1. Does anyone know him?

Graham Sandercock.

 

I've seen his setup on a low loader, plus witnessed these being demo'd in Sweden.

They are awesome bits of kit, and they suit towing a bolster trailer very well as they have very powerful motors plus a high travel speed.

The geometry of the arm is something else, plus the lift capacity is well in excess of a traditional excavator.

 

Mecalac do a fantastic range of tremendously versatile machines, but sadly the price is the thing most people never look beyond in the UK?

 

They had a good following on the Rail where the rates can provide the returns, but unless it's specialist it will be hard to get it above standard kit rate.

 

I wouldn't know if they even have a UK Dealer now?

Looks quite low, what do you think about it for woodland work with a shear head

 

Purchase price, Rubber Tracks and who's backing it up are jumping out at me Stephen?

 

Certainly a fantastic Niche machine I'm certain if you have a specific application?

Here you go Stephen if you want maximum productivity and arm geometry try one of these!

 

It isn't actually a stunt!! Hitachi manufacture them now as a rescue excavator for natural disasters or specialist demolition.

The more you look at Mecalac kit, we need a good UK dealer, they could be attractive at present with the Euro fairly weak.
