I use these spurs. They are delivered with a short and a long set of spikes. They are just screwed so we can easily mount the short or the long ones as needed. The grip under the foot avoids to slip standing on a limb and even gives a hold for the outside of the foot. Handy.
The Mechalac is a french multipurpose excavator. It's designed to work in the tight areas like digging a trench in a sidewalk and generally all the street maintenance. We don't have many streets 45' wide here, many are between 15 and 20' with the sidewalks. Accessing all the stuff underground and moving around is a challenge. They came to this compact design with an unusual boom and many knuckles. One can even fold the arm sideway in the middle.
Oops, it's Mecalac, no H.
I drove along the factory today.
