Mecalac has launched the Revotruck, available in 6- and 9-ton payload configurations, in North America. It features a rotating cab, providing maximum visibility in all directions for the operator.

“Careful, thorough research went into the Revotruck’s design. We studied standard site dumpers and identified potential safety hazards for operators to engineer the safest, most ergonomic site dumper on the market from the ground up,” said Peter Bigwood, general manager for Mecalac North America. 

“The Revotruck illustrates our attention to detail and ability to understand customer needs. The North American market is getting a meticulously designed machine with operator safety and comfort at the forefront of every aspect,” he added.

Revotruck’s Cab Rotates 225 Degrees

Operators can rotate the Revotruck’s cab 225 degrees with the touch of a button, allowing them to maintain their vision and focus on the job, while also staying aware of any surrounding obstacles.

Mecalach said this sets the Revotruck apart from other site dumpers on the market that offer limited visibility. 

The cab rotation and swivel of the bed from left to right increases efficiency by eliminating the need to reposition the machine when going from loading to dumping. For example, when filling a trench, the operator utilizes the swivel feature to position the body for loading and then, without repositioning the truck, swivels the body for dumping directly into a trench, significantly reducing time. 

For additional operator safety and convenience, the Revotruck features steps at each corner of the cab, providing four exit points.

Designed with Four-Wheel Steering

The Revotruck also provides superior stability and mobility, Mecalac said. The Revotruck was designed with a four-wheel steering chassis that offers stability and permanent traction on all types of terrain. 

The central link between the two parts of the chassis offers up to 20 degrees of oscillation. The two oscillating parts of the chassis independently follow the contours of the ground. 

The chassis is complemented by four equal-sized wheels with a switchable steering mode, allowing operators to cycle between two-wheel steering, four-wheel steering and crab steering. This enables it to work with agility in confined spaces with a turning radius twice as tight as conventional articulated site dumpers.

Revotruck’s Payload Capabilities

The Revotruck 6 features a 13,288-pound payload with a total operating weight of 13,040 pounds. 

For heavier-duty applications, the Revotruck 9 provides a 19,842-pound payload with a 14,473-pound operating weight. 

Each variant has a hydrostatic transmission top speed of 17.4 mph to quickly navigate jobsites. Both models are powered by a 74-horsepower Tier 4 Final diesel engine. 

Award-Winning Site Dumper

The revolutionary site dumper has already won five awards, including the prestigious Red Dot Design Award “Best of the Best” — the highest accolade in one of the world’s most renowned design competitions.
