Menzi Muck launched its M5-series in 2022, including the M545x often referred to as the “Ferrari of spider excavators,” is a marvel of engineering that sets it apart from its competitors. One of the key features that make the M5-series stand out is its unique design. The machine is equipped with claws and rams that extend beyond the tyres, providing an unobstructed view of the job and not impeding travel. It also has legs that can move up and down, allowing it to adapt to any terrain. This adaptability is further enhanced by the machine’s ability to steer in any configuration, making it ideal for working in challenging conditions.

The Menzi Muck M545x is also known for its power. Despite weighing 10.7 tons, it produces the same power as a 20-tonne excavator. This is due to the Menzi Powerboom, a unique boom mounted horizontally in the centre part of the machine, which supplies the highest possible forces over the whole working range. In terms of operator comfort and safety, the M5-series does not disappoint. It boasts a panoramic cockpit, extensive standard equipment, and an LCD display dashboard.

The ergonomic joystick with proportional rocker and hand support, along with the air-suspended operator’s seat with adjustable armrests and foot pedals, ensure maximum comfort for the operator. The M545x also incorporates advanced technology such as the Anticipating Power Management system, which can result in up to 30% fuel savings, and a Sensitive Load Sensing hydraulic system geared towards smooth and optimized performance.

Despite its steep pricing, ranging between $550,000 and $600,000 depending on options, the Menzi Muck M5series offers value for money given its superior features, power, and adaptability. SP international expansion plans.
