Mecalac, which says it is the largest manufacturer of site dumpers in the world, is rolling out its new line of the machines with five model categories ranging in tipping loads from 1 to 10 tons.

Aimed at the rental market, Patrick Brehmer, Mecalac head of design and product management, says site dumpers represent “a revolution of logistics on the jobsite.” That’s because they are less expensive than trucks and take less space and time to turn around, he says.

Mecalac’s new site dumpers include the TA1EH, TA2 range, TA3/TA3.5 range, the 6MDX and the 9MDX. Model numbers represent operating weight in metric tons.

The TA2 and TA3/TA3.5 ranges offer skip options of straight tip, 180-degree power swivel tip, and elevating swivel tip.
