Acrobatics Mecalac style

Here is a video, of which a shortened version is doing the rounds on the numerous Facebook plant pages at the moment, so figured I would share it here with the Digger Man Blog audience.

The demonstration operator of this Mecalac 8MCR is clearly at the top of his game as he demonstrates the machines perfect balance during a series of amazing manoeuvres. The French built Mecalac machines are unconventional in design, but incredibly useful in a wide variety of applications including rail and forestry works. [youtube width="725" height="344"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8D8fvCZQqU0[/youtube] We caught up with a smaller Mecalac 6MCR during a visit to the Royal Cornwall Show earlier this year, believed to be the only model of its kind in the UK and owned and operated by Graham Sandercock, we hope to feature this machine in a future edition of Earthmovers Magazine.

If anyone in the Cornwall area knows where Graham is working right now I would love to hear from you as he appears to no longer be on Facebook, where we initially made contact.
