About Mack Granite Trucks
Mack introduced the Granite truck series in 2001 with a goal of proving it was possible to offer a durable, rugged truck that still provided drivers a comfortable workspace. The company followed up with the Mack Granite Medium Heavy Duty (MHD) in 2011. The company also notably introduced the MP engine line in 2006 and Mack GuardDog Connect in 2013—features both still available for Mack Granites.

Overall, Mack Granites offer a wide range of configuration options, including tractor unit, standard mixer, bridge mixer, dump or lift-axle dump truck, rear loader, and roll-off configurations. Depending on the configuration, the trucks are usable as concrete pumps or mixers for building and road construction, snowplows with underbody scrapers, dump trucks for construction projects and general hauling, and refuse trucks in waste-management operations. Mack also offers an online portal providing information needed to design unique truck bodies to expand the series’ versatility.

Interior & Exterior
The Granite and Granite MHD share numerous exterior features, including a sloped hood, galvanized steel cab, heavy-duty crossmembers, and rubber-sealed windshield. Elsewhere, the Granite has a high ground clearance, D-shaped fuel tank, body-ready electrical system, and cab-mounted exhaust. Other exterior highlights for the main Granite series include an air-assisted clutch, cab air springs, self-cleaning steps, top-mounted rear-axle carriers, and a tighter turn radius for navigating through work sites.
On the interior, you’ll find steering with a flat bottom to provide extra driver comfort, a 5-in (12.7cm) Mack Co-Pilot display, optional 7-in (17.8cm) touchscreen infotainment display, and mDRIVE HD controls integrated into the dash (when opting for that transmission style).
The Granite also comes standard with Mack GuardDog Connect, which sends diagnostic information directly to repair centers for preventative-maintenance purposes. The system integrates with Mack ASIST and the Mack OneCall customer center. Combined, these solutions ensure the dealer has access to data about parts, warranties, and more to get trucks back to work as quickly as possible.
