A unique and highly versatile type of equipment popular in Europe has made its way to New England — and in time, with the help of a New England equipment dealer, it will be available throughout the United States. The Mecalac all-terrain HIGH SPEED skid excavator, which has changed how contractors move material and excavate in Europe, will now be exclusively available from Lorusso Heavy Equipment, located in Walpole, Mass. “We are thrilled to announce that we were able to negotiate a deal with Mecalac to not only be a dealer for their product, but also to be able to take this one step further and help set up their distribution in the United States,” said AJ Lorusso, president of Lorusso Heavy Equipment. The Mecalac MCR series combines the features of a skid steer loader, a compact excavator, a telehandler and integrates them with a unique, versatile boom. “We’d been following the development of these machines for a number of years,” said Lorusso. “In 2013, at a visit to bauma in Germany, I was finally able to see these machines in action.”
With the fork attachment the Mecalac can easily place jersey barriers around the job site.
The Mecalac all-terrain skid excavator can mount a skid steer bucket, perform all of the functions of a skid steer/track loader and lift and load materials to a pile or truck as high as 16 ft. (5 m), due to Mecalac’s versatile boom with integrated high reach offset. The boom folds to 131 degrees, offering maximum stability and lifting performance. The MCR can fully rotate while carrying a load up to 40 percent of its own weight. It also adapts well to unstable see lOruSSO page 4

MaineDOT Receives $10.5M TIGER Grant for Beals Island Bridge Project Sen. Susan Collins announced the Maine Department of Transportation has been awarded a $10.525 million federal TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) grant to help fund the replacement of the Beals Island Bridge in Jonesport. “I am delighted to announce that the state of Maine will receive a $10,525,000 investment to help replace the structurally deficient Beals Island Bridge in Jonesport through the TIGER grant program,” said Collins. “This important funding will allow the Maine Department of Transportation to move forward in replacing the bridge,
improving public safety, increasing connectivity between the island and the mainland, and helping to create jobs in rural Maine.” This $19.4 million bridge replacement project will be able to start construction in February of 2017. The construction schedule will span two seasons, with possible final landscaping in the spring of 2019. “The replacement of the Beals Island Bridge is an important step as we continue to maintain a solid, wellbuilt infrastructure throughout our state,” said David see BEAlS page 4
