Mecalac Unveils the Innovative Revo990 Backhoe Loader

France, Europe - Groupe Mecalac S.A.S., a construction equipment manufacturer, has reinvented the classic backhoe loader with the advanced Revo990. Its innovative rotating cab allows operators to effortlessly switch between loading and digging, ensuring continuous and efficient operation.

Traditional backhoe loaders present significant operational challenges, requiring operators to physically turn around to switch between functions, leading to frequent delays. The process of rotating the seat is time-consuming, disrupting workflow and reducing productivity. Additionally, when in digging mode, operators lose access to essential controls such as the steering wheel and pedals, limiting maneuverability. Visibility is also compromised when using a side-angled boom, making precision tasks more difficult and further impacting overall efficiency on the job site.

Mecalac has reengineered the machine’s architecture to transfer the operational burden from the operator to advanced technology. This innovative design enables seamless collaboration between the operator and cockpit, allowing for swift transitions between functions in just seconds.

Mecalac emphasizes that operator comfort was a top priority in the machine’s design. The innovative revolving feature ensures a natural, ergonomic posture when transitioning between functions, significantly reducing the risk of back and neck strain.

The rotating cab enhances visibility across job sites and ongoing operations. Unlike traditional designs with restricted two-way views, the Revo990 offers multiple cab positions, ensuring clear sightlines in all directions for improved safety and efficiency.

Operators can now drive in both modes, no matter the cab position. With the Revo990, they can dig further along a trench without stopping to turn the seat or switch to loader mode. The cab can even rotate 90 degrees, making it ideal for tasks like ditch cleaning along roads, enhancing both efficiency and ease of use.
