Mecalac’s new eco facility

5 April 2023

Many environmentally friendly characteristics will be in evidence at a new national production facility in Coventry for Mecalac Construction Equipment UK.

Situated a few miles from the manufacturer’s existing site in Prologis Park, the new development will house site dumper and compaction roller operations. It will also be responsible for manufacturing the company’s new Revotruck (pictured below), a dumper with a rotating cab, which was unveiled at Bauma last year. The move is scheduled for completion by the end of April.

The 81,000 sq ft facility will be the most environmentally advanced development in the Mecalac group, with air source heat pumps, internal and external LED lighting, a rooftop solar array, rainwater harvesting technology and an increased number of EV chargers installed in the car park.

Heath Davies, General Manager at Mecalac Construction Equipment UK, said: “In the past few months alone, we’ve revealed an increase to our UK production capability with Revotruck – a pioneering addition to our range – and ED6, our 6-tonne electric dumper, demonstrating our commitment to embracing alternative fuels and decarbonising the sector.

“However, to maintain this progress, it’s important that we have the right facilities and processes in place. Whilst our new UK headquarters is just a move a few miles away, the new facility is modern, sustainable, purposely designed for the change in our product mix and therefore perfectly suited to our future manufacturing operations.”
