Nothing amazes like a Menzi

The Swiss built Menzi Muck machines really are something special, designed primarily for working on steep mountain sides the angles that these pieces of kit can work at are truly amazing. The machine in the video clip below is one of the latest M Series machines the M545, which is part of the new range of models launched at last year’s Bauma Trade Fair in Munich as seen in this photo. One can only imagine what it’s like to try and operate one of these unconventional excavators, as it has to be said, there is a lot going on with these machines at anyone given time. The M545 machine in this promotional video from Menzi Muck is the largest in the range and is being demonstrated in Luzern in Switzerland. I think you will agree it’s an impressive piece of kit!
