Let’s be real, not all diggers are created equal. Ours? It’s a beast. Fitted with a Steelwrist tiltrotator, our 6-tonne digger takes precision, flexibility, and speed to the next level.
This attachment is an absolute game-changer. It allows full 360° rotation and a 45° tilt in every direction, meaning our operator can dig, grade, trim, and shift, all without constantly repositioning the machine. Tight spots? Awkward angles? No dramas. The Steelwrist handles it with surgical-level accuracy, making jobs faster, tidier, and way more efficient.
Whether we’re doing final trim work, shaping tricky driveways, backfilling foundations, or trenching around obstacles, the Steelwrist makes it look easy, and saves you time and money in the process.
It’s not just about cool tech (though it is cool as hell). It’s about delivering cleaner cuts, tighter finishes, and a level of polish that sets us apart on site. Once you’ve seen it in action, you’ll never want a standard bucket job again.
INTRODUCING
OUR STEELWRIST
OUR STORY
MCL was built on the backbone of hard work, family values, and a deep love for machinery.
It all started with Dave McKie, a lifelong dairy farmer in the Waikato who always had a knack for getting things done right. What began as a few earthworks jobs on the side quickly turned into a steady stream of work. Drainage, driveway prep, small dig-outs, if it needed digging, Dave was your guy. Word spread fast, and before long, the McKies weren’t just farming cattle, they were now moving earth.
But it was Reece McKie, Dave’s son, who really brought MCL to life. Reece has been in a digger since he was 12 years old, literally. While others were feeding out hay, Reece was levelling paddocks and operating machinery like he was born to do it. He never had a passion for farming, but give the guy a machine and a bit of mud, and he’s in his element.
As Reece took over the business, MCL started to grow, evolving from a one-machine side gig into a trusted name in earthworks across the Waikato and Auckland regions. With Ash and Carmel supporting the operation behind the scenes, MCL remains proudly family run, “and that’s exactly how we like it”
We’re not a massive corporation. We’re not here to sell you bullshit. We’re a team that shows up, works hard, and takes serious pride in what we do. From lifestyle blocks and rural driveways to subdivision site cuts and civil prep, we do the job right — first time, every time.
We’ve built this business on reputation, reliability, and relationships. And we’re just getting started.
