Mecalac recently announced its Revotruck will now be available in the North American market.
Available in 6- and 9-ton payload configurations, Mecalac’s Revotruck site dumper features a rotating cab, improving safety and visibility for the operator.
With exceptional off-road capabilities, the Revotruck is ideal for construction, concrete, landscape and golf course applications.
“Careful, thorough research went into the Revotruck’s design. We studied standard site dumpers and identified potential safety hazards for operators to engineer the safest, most ergonomic site dumper on the market from the ground up,” said Peter Bigwood, General Manager for Mecalac North America.
“The Revotruck illustrates our attention to detail and ability to understand customer needs. The North American market is getting a meticulously designed machine with operator safety and comfort at the forefront of every aspect.”
Operators can rotate the Revotruck’s cab 225 degrees with the touch of a button, allowing them to maintain their vision and focus on the job, while also staying aware of surrounding obstacles.

The cab rotation and swivel of the bed from left to right increases efficiency by eliminating the need to reposition the machine when going from loading to dumping. For example, when filling a trench, the operator utilizes the swivel feature to position the body for loading and then, without repositioning the truck, swivels the body for dumping directly into a trench.
For additional operator safety and convenience, the Revotruck features steps at each corner of the cab, providing four exit points.
Mecalac designed the machine with a four-wheel steering chassis that improves stability and permanent traction on all types of terrain. The central link between the two parts of the chassis offers up to 20 degrees of oscillation. The two oscillating parts of the chassis independently follow the contours of the ground.
The chassis is complemented by four equal-sized wheels with a switchable steering mode, allowing operators to cycle between two-wheel steering, four-wheel steering and crab steering. This enables it to work with agility in confined spaces with a turning radius twice as tight as conventional articulated site dumpers.
The Revotruck 6 features a 6,027-kg payload with a total operating weight of 5,915 kg. For heavier-duty applications, the Revotruck 9 provides a 9,000-kg payload with a 6,565-kg operating weight.
Each variant is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission top speed of 28 km per hour to quickly navigate jobsites. Both models are powered by a 74-horsepower Tier 4 Final diesel engine.
