MECALAC 15MWR WHEEL EXCAVATOR (55000361)

MECALAC Wheel Excavators 15MWR – Overview

Powerful 15-ton wheel excavator designed for exceptional lifting capacity, compact manoeuvrability, and all-terrain performance on demanding construction sites

The Mecalac 15MWR is a premium 15-ton wheel excavator that brings together outstanding mobility, stability, and lifting strength in a remarkably compact and agile design. As part of Mecalac’s innovative MWR-series, the 15MWR offers the perfect balance between wheeled and crawler excavator technology, enabling efficient work across construction, handling, and loading tasks — even in space-constrained or difficult terrain.

At its heart lies a powerful 100 kW (136 hp) engine, positioned low in the chassis. This unique layout helps lower the centre of gravity, which improves on‑site stability, enhances visibility, and retains excellent mobility. The exhaust and emissions-control systems are integrated compactly under the hood, helping maintain a streamlined design without compromising power.

When it comes to lifting, the 15MWR is impressively capable. It features a 360° lifting capacity of up to 8 tonnes (17,636 lbs), making it ideal for heavy operations like material handling, pallet lifting, and precision placement. Thanks to its high ground clearance and balanced structure, the machine handles uneven and challenging terrain with confidence.

Manoeuvrability is a standout benefit. The 15MWR is equipped with four-wheel steering, which gives it a best-in-class turning radius. In addition, the rear swing radius is only 1,571 mm (5’2″) — a feature that makes it highly agile in tight worksites. Despite its lifting capacity and size, the machine maintains a compact full swing diameter of just 2,991 mm (9’9″), reducing its jobsite footprint and improving efficiency.

Operator comfort and usability are core to the 15MWR’s design. The cab is ergonomic and easily accessible, thanks to the lower centre of gravity and a well-integrated step. For convenience, fuel and DEF refuelling points are positioned at ground level — improving safety and reducing downtime. There’s also a cooled lunch-box inside the cab, adding a touch of operator comfort for long working days.

Maintenance and safety also benefit from thoughtful design. The 15MWR includes service access from the ground, meaning regular checks and refuelling are simpler and safer. Its quick‑coupler system, CONNECT, is fully controllable from the cab for safe and efficient attachment changes — complete with visual and audible feedback for secure locking.

In summary, the Mecalac 15MWR wheel excavator is engineered to deliver heavy lifting, compact agility, and robust terrain capability — all wrapped in a user‑friendly, highly stable package that enhances productivity and safety on demanding construction sites.
