Liebherr A 918 Compact vs Mecalac 12MTX
The Liebherr A 918 Compact is about 58% heavier than the Mecalac 12MTX (19,000 vs 12,000 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Liebherr and Mecalac in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
