The Mecalac 6SMDX represents the pinnacle of operator safety and versatility in the mid-range dumper market. As a specialized 6 ton dumper, the 6SMDX (Swivel-MDX) combines the world-class protection of an isolated, ROPS/FOPS-certified cabin with a high-performance 180° power swivel skip.

This machine is the definitive choice for Tier 1 contractors and urban utility projects that demand the highest safety certifications without compromising on the ability to place materials with pinpoint accuracy in confined spaces.

Key Features of the Mecalac 6SMDX

The Mecalac 6SMDX is built around the “Safety-First” philosophy of the MDX range. Here is why it is a market leader for the 6 ton dumper class:

• 180° Power Swivel Skip: The “S” designation stands for Swivel. This allows the operator to rotate the skip 90 degrees to either side, facilitating precise side-tipping into trenches or over barriers without maneuvering the chassis.
• Isolated Cabin Environment: The fully enclosed cab is mounted on damping blocks to drastically reduce noise and vibration, providing a quiet, automotive-standard workspace that minimizes operator fatigue.
• ISO 5006 Compliant Visibility: Large glazed areas, slim A-pillars, and a standard forward-facing camera ensure the operator has a comprehensive view of the surrounding site hazards.
• SHIELD Safety Pack: Includes advanced tech as standard, such as start/drive interlocks, handbrake alarms, and an integrated digital dashboard with a real-time inclinometer.
• Hydrostatic Transmission: Features a smooth, clutch-free drive system that provides responsive dynamic braking—an essential safety feature when operating fully loaded on steep gradients.

Why the 6SMDX is the Ultimate Site Partner

While standard dumpers require the operator to wear a seatbelt and a helmet on an open platform, the Mecalac 6SMDX allows the operator to work within a protected, climate-controlled environment. For high-density urban sites or highway works where side-tipping is the only way to discharge a load, this 6 ton dumper offers the safest and most efficient solution available.
