A Bold New Direction: Mecalac’s Revolving Design
Backhoe loaders have been best-sellers due to their ability to load and dig with just one machine. Yet switching between these functions requires numerous laborious, repetitive tasks, performed dozens of times a day. This has proven to be a a deterrent for many, contributing to declining sales. Mecalac’s Revo990 revolutionizes the operator experience with a rotating cab, eliminating the hassle and providing a seamless operation never seen before.
Since their creation in the 50s, all backhoe loaders are based on a traditional tractor design fitted with a loader arm at the front and an excavator boom at the rear. This leads the operator who sits in-between to turn around to switch from one function to the other – causing five significant drawbacks.
- It forces operators to repeat a long sequence of tasks many times just to turn the seat
- This action is demanding and exposes operators to muscular pains
- The process is slow, more than 10 seconds, keeps interrupting the operation and annihilates the fast cycle times these powerful machines are capable of
- Operators cannot drive the machine in digging mode: when facing the excavator end, they have no access to the steering wheel and pedals
- Direct visibility on the tool is hindered when using the boom angled to the side
Many customers have expressed frustration over this, as it hampers performance and comfort. Addressing these issues was key to restoring the full product capacities and operators’ experience.
Mecalac redesigned the architecture to shift the burden from operator to technology. This innovative design merges the operator and cockpit, rotating as one to enhance performance, comfort, and safety. Unique in the world, the Revo990 sets a new standard for the industry, exceeding user expectations.
SEAMLESS OPERATION
The Revo990 functions as a high-reach excavator and a powerful loader, seamlessly transitioning between the two functions in just a few seconds. At the core of its design is a commitment to operator comfort, exemplified by the innovative one-touch seamless cab rotation.
This groundbreaking feature enables operators to maintain optimal posture when swinging from one function to the other, significantly minimizing the risk of back and neck strain caused by uncomfortable twisting.
SEAMLESS 360° VISIBILITY
The Revo990 backhoe’s rotating cab offers an unparalleled view of the jobsite and on-going operations.
SEAMLESS DRIVINg
Repositioning a traditional backhoe loader requires operators to rotate their seat multiple times—a time- consuming and cumbersome process. The Revo990 eliminates this hassle with its groundbreaking design.
OPERATORS CAN DRIVE SEAMLESSLY IN BOTH MODES, REgARDLESS OF CAB POSITION.
While digging trenches, the Revo990 lets operators repo- sition the machine to continue digging further along the trench without having to stop to turn the seat and switch to loader mode or to push themselves forward awkward- ly with the backhoe. All driving controls remain within reach whatever the mode, streamlining movement and eliminating interruptions. It is even possible to maneuver with the cab swung at a 90-degree angle, making it ideal for tasks alongside roads, such as ditch cleaning.
With the Revo990 backhoe, working on the move knows no limits!
