Gradual transition to electric.
Mecalac, world leader in the design, production and distribution of compact machines for urban construction sites, presents the new eMDX electric dumper.
The eMDX aims to eliminate emissions on construction sites. This powerful 6-tonne electric dumper maintains all its performance while reducing its environmental impact. Equipped with a 75 kW.h battery, it redefines autonomy with an uninterrupted operating time of at least 8 hours on a single charge and a fast recharge of only 4 hours.
The new Mecalac eMDX dumper retains the key features and experience of the Mecalac 6MDX dumper in terms of productivity, safety and reliability, but also incorporates Mecalac’s expertise and technologies in zero emission solutions.
The automatic transmission transfers all the power of the electric motor to the four permanent drive wheels for an unrivalled level of power and efficiency. 2 electric motors are fitted:
1 for the transmission
1 for the body and hydraulics.
Charging as easy and fast as a car.
Mecalac recognises the importance of easy recharging. The eMDX is powered by a type 2 plug, similar to the one used in cars, which offers a convenient solution thanks to the widely available charging points. It can also be recharged via a 5-pin industrial socket, directly on a switchboard or site unit.
In addition to the ROPS/FOPS certification, Mecalac tested the eMDX’s cab’s ability to withstand impact when loading the body. Various front and side impact tests were carried out with excavators at different speeds to simulate real impacts that might occur on construction sites. The eMDX cab proved remarkably resistant to these impacts, demonstrating Mecalac’s excellence in safety.
