Industrial Versatility. Precision Engineering. Built for the Modern Job Site.
The MechMaxx MEC17 is a high-performance compact crawler designed to bridge the gap between heavy-duty excavation and tight-access maneuverability. Tailor-made for the rigors of construction in narrow lanes, alleys, and residential backyards, this machine provides a professional-grade solution for projects where space is at a premium but power is non-negotiable.
At the heart of the MEC17 is the renowned Kubota D902 engine. This air-cooled powerhouse is engineered with a high compression ratio to deliver superior fuel efficiency and reliable torque, ensuring your operation stays productive through long work cycles while minimizing overhead costs.
The MEC17 features an enhanced hydraulic system designed for multi-functional utility. It seamlessly accommodates high-flow attachments such as augers, rippers, and mulcher heads (sold separately), allowing you to transition from concrete cutting to tree pulverizing with surgical precision and smooth hydraulic response.
Stability meets accessibility with the retractable and extendable track system. Operators can narrow the footprint to navigate through tight gates and passages, then extend the tracks to provide a wide, stable base for digging on uneven terrain. Combined with two-speed travel modes and intuitive pilot controls, the MEC17 offers the perfect balance of site mobility and delicate handling.
With an 89.3" digging depth and a 151.3" maximum ground reach, this excavator allows you to cover more ground and reach deeper trenches without constant repositioning. The 360-degree rotation and adjustable hydraulic thumb ensure you can handle rocks, debris, and timber with total control directly from the operator's seat.
Perfect for: Narrow Lane Construction • Landscape Transformation • Utility Trenching • Garden & Estate Management
Note: The dimensions and weight of this unit exceed standard lift gate capacities. Customers are required to have a forklift or unloading platform ready at the delivery destination.
