Mecalac, a global leader in the design, manufacture, and distribution of compact equipment for urban construction sites, has positioned itself as a major player in the field of railway works with the launch of its brand-new range, the MRail-Series. This range consists of 4 models: 2 rail-road excavators on tracks, the 106MRail and the 136MRail (from 10 to 13 tons), and 2 on wheels, the 156MRail and the 216MRail (from 15 to 21 tons). Mecalac’s offer comes at the right time for the rail industry which experiences an extremely strong dynamic. The choice between 4 models will without no doubt allow everyone to find the right machine for their needs.

Following the 714MW RR, the long-lasting success of the 8MCR RR, and the exceptional start of the 216MRail (in 2020), Mecalac is now offering a brand-new range of rail-road excavators, the MRail-Series. The manufacturer has been working with renowned rail partners for over 20 years. Mecalac has acquired solid expertise from this partnership regarding this highly specialized and very demanding segment.

Mecalac is now strongly positioned in this international market and has just set up a new division dedicated to the rail business, from research and development to product and sales support. This organization builds on Mecalac’s assembly-line processes and quality standards, as well as on a worldwide dealer network.

The MRail-Series machines are assembled on Mecalac’s production lines. This gives the manufacturer the means to target and meet efficiently the specific needs of this market while benefiting from a solid industrial organization; an essential guarantee of product reliability and an undeniable advantage over local processors.

4 MRail machines: a solution for every jobsite
The rail market is vast: national railways, private tracks, tramways, and underground networks. Track gauges and regulations vary from country to country. Jobsites requirements are also very different, depending on whether they are focused on maintenance, modernization, or construction of new tracks. Taking all these parameters into account, Mecalac’s MRail-Series can offer you the right machine for your needs.

The 106MRail and 136MRail tracked excavators build on the MCR concept. This concept, the fusion of a compact loader and an excavator, brings the speed and productivity of a loader to the 360° rotation of an excavator. They are designed to be the ultimate utility machine for most of the service and maintenance works. They are also ideal for work in tunnels or in tight areas.

The 106MRail is the smallest machine of the MRail-Series. It features a two-piece boom with offset as standard and is extremely compact. Easy to operate, it is also the ideal support for heavier equipment.

The 136MRail provides even higher performance to increase overall productivity on national rail networks. It is equipped with the utmost safety features. It can be fitted with a pneumatic system for rail trailers and rail car brakes.

The 156MRail and 216MRail wheeled excavators are based on the MWR concept. They provide solutions for all types of tracks and a high degree of freedom of movement, especially when moving the boom under height constraints like catenaries.

The 156MRail is dedicated to urban networks, subways, and private tracks. It is a medium-sized machine that meets the requirements for rail applications without the costly and complex systems linked to regulations. It is the easiest and most profitable solution for working on rails.

The 216MRail is the strongest machine for the toughest jobs, always with zero compromises on maneuverability, agility, and compactness. It is compatible with the EN15746 regulation, the most stringent regulation for the rail segment. It has all the necessary safety features and a pneumatic system for trailers.

The rail industry is booming all over the world. Rail-road excavators are the best tools not only for the maintenance of existing networks but also for the construction of new tracks. Mecalac is convinced that it can provide solutions that will revolutionize rail-road excavators and change the lives of users. The manufacturer will expose these new models at the IAF international trade fair, one of the key events in this segment, which will be held in Münster, Germany, from 31 May to 2 June 2022.
