Mecalac, a designer, manufacturer and distributor of compact construction equipment for urban environments, added the TA3SH Power Swivel Site Dumper for increased versatility and safety on job sites.

The site dumper is part of the TA3 range, which is designed for the small to medium job site and is particularly useful in crowded or confined areas.

“We are constantly looking for gaps in the marketplace and innovating products to meet those needs,” said Peter Bigwood, general manager for Mecalac North America. “These site dumpers deliver outstanding power and performance with the flexibility to operate in challenging areas.”

The TA3SH is designed to deliver versatility and performance, especially on confined job sites, such as housing developments or landscaping projects. The TA3SH is 13 feet long and just over 6 feet wide. The power swivel technology features forward and swivel tipping mechanisms, allowing the load to rotate 90 degrees on either side before being tipped. This reduces the need to move equipment.

The Mecalac range of power swivel site dumpers features payload options from 1 to 10 tons. The TA3SH’s payload capacity is 6,613 lbs. All power swivel site dumpers feature a heavy-duty locking device to keep the skip facing forward while on the move.

Available technologies on the site dumpers include start/stop control, capture and hazard detection. Start/stop control improves on-site safety, minimizes fuel consumption and increases service intervals by automatically starting and stopping the engine in predetermined conditions. Capture is Mecalac’s telematics solution, allowing rental centers and site managers to monitor unit location, distance traveled and hours completed each day. Hazard detection uses a microwave radar to provide obstacle detection, further increasing safety on job sites.

Each power swivel site dumper meets the latest emissions compliance standards, and to avoid DEF- and DPF-related costs, engines are rated at under 25 hp. All models are equipped with Tier IV engines.
