Some of the latest offerings in mobile equipment, attachments

Mecalac introduced its MWR Series of wheeled excavators to the North American market. Consisting of three models – the 7MWR, 9MWR and 11MWR – the series features a range of benefits to help meet the needs of operations in the construction, landscaping and forestry industries, as well as municipalities and utility construction, Mecalac says. The MWR Series is purpose-built to allow for maximum maneuverability in tight working areas, offering the flexibility and versatility of a skid-steer or compact track loader in one machine and delivering higher speed and mobility than tracked excavators, the company adds. Mecalac says each of the three models in the MWR series offers speed in a compact footprint. The smallest of the three – the 7MWR – offers variable speed between 0 and 19 mph. The two larger models – the 9MWR and 11MWR – provide standard travel speeds between 0 and 12 mph, with an option for enhanced speed up to 22 mph on the 9MWR and up to 19 mph on the 11MWR. 

Compact fuel tank fits in pickup truck beds

Western Global’s new FuelCube Type-S is a compact fuel tank that fits in the back of a truck. According to the company, it is designed to safely transport and dispense diesel fuel when and where it’s needed without hazardous material placard requirements. It includes security features and increased versatility. The dual-purpose adaptability of the tank allows businesses to use it as a truck bed tank or an on-site tank. The FuelCube Type-S features a 119-gallon capacity and is optimal for 3/4-ton pickups or larger due to the tank’s weight when filled with fuel. Unlike slip tanks, Western Global says contractors can easily lift this tank out of the truck using the tank’s four-way forklift pockets.
