The Revo990 is believed as the world’s first backhoe loader equipped with a rotating cab. French manufacturer Mecalac will preview it at the Bauma construction trade fair in April.

Designed to improve ease of use and visibility, the push-button operated system eliminates the need for operators to manually turn the seat when switching between front loader and rear excavator modes.

This is not the first Mecalac machine with a rotating cab. At the last Bauma in 2022 it launched the Perkins-powered Revotruck, a site dumper where the cab also rotates.

The only other detail of the Revo990 this side of the German show is that the position of the cab is infinitely adjustable; not just forwards or backwards.
