MECALAC 6MCR Crawler Skid Excavator – Overview
The Fastest, Most Versatile Compact Excavator on the Market
The Mecalac 6MCR redefines what’s possible in compact excavation by combining the speed of a loader with the precision of an excavator. Designed for productivity, agility, and efficiency, this 6-tonne tracked machine offers industry-leading versatility for urban construction, utilities, landscaping, and infrastructure projects.
At its core, the 6MCR features a 75 hp (55.4 kW) Deutz Stage V engine, providing powerful performance with excellent fuel efficiency and low emissions. Its unique Mecalac MCR concept allows it to operate as both an excavator and a compact loader, giving operators the flexibility to dig, load, lift, and move material — all with one machine. With a travel speed of up to 10 km/h, the 6MCR is up to twice as fast as a conventional compact excavator, reducing downtime and boosting site efficiency.
The two-piece boom design with a 360° compact swing radius delivers exceptional reach and digging capability in confined spaces. The maximum dig depth of 3.8 metres and lift height of 4.6 metres make the 6MCR ideal for trenching, grading, loading, and material handling. Mecalac’s Quick Connect hydraulic coupler enables fast, safe attachment changes directly from the cab — switching from bucket to forks or other tools in seconds.
Operator comfort and visibility are key priorities in the 6MCR. The spacious cab is ergonomically designed with intuitive joystick controls, excellent visibility, air conditioning, and low noise levels. Its intelligent hydraulic control system ensures precise, responsive operation even in complex tasks.
The Mecalac 6MCR also delivers unmatched site safety and serviceability, with a low centre of gravity, wide tracks for stability, and easy access to all maintenance points from ground level. Built for performance and efficiency, it’s the compact machine that truly does it all.
