Designed for site use, Panoramic telehandlers cover a lift range from 6m to 18m. There are four specific CE site groups; the Compact 6m-9m series, Panoramic 7m-10m, Panoramic Highlift 12m-14m, and the Panoramic Ultra-highlift 16-17m machines.

These are all rigid frame, hydrostatic transmission telehandlers, with the same 995mm wide cab and surrounded by a ‘Ring of Steel’ for protection on-site!

Many models feature Merlo’s patented ‘integral chassis sideshift’, providing millimetric adjustment of the load position at height, without repositioning the machine. Above 10m lift height, all have levelling chassis and stabilisers for enhanced stability at height.
 

A new generation of super-compact telehandlers is finding wide acceptance on city job sites. Merlo’s latest telehandler is the P25.6 – lifting to 6m, yet only 1800mm wide. Not only is it incredibly compact, Merlo designers have managed to combine a full-sized cab (the same 995mm width as all the others), with an incredibly low boom position, giving superb operator visibility for confined space operation.

A huge growth sector in recent years has been the 6-10 tonne lift capacity telehandler. Invaluable for off-loading structural steel and rebar on-site, these formidable Merlo telescopic handlers are also used in wider, general industry. Hydrostatic drive and up to 140HP engines, gives these machines the power they need, along with the tremendous precision in placing needed for the safe handling of these big loads.

The Roto concept adds the fourth dimension of slewing to the telehandler’s arsenal, making these simply the most versatile telehandler on a job site.

Originally designed as a high lift forklift for confined spaced, Rotos have now been developed into true, multipurpose machines. In addition to their original forklift role, Rotos can be fitted with interchangeable equipment suiting them for light lifting operations, or as Mobile Elevating Work Platforms.

When fitted temporarily with lifting attachments such as a 4 tonne winch, Rotos will comply with the new EN13000 Standard from July 2010. Whilst, when used with a Merlo platform attachment, they fully comply with EN280, the European Standard for MEWPS. A true multi-purpose machine – both safe and productive in every role.

There are three families of Roto, of varying capacity, lift height and sophistication. The Flagship MCSS range includes independently set vertical outriggers and a unique computerised stability system that uniquely permits asymmetrical extension of the stabilisers for use in confined spaces.
 

Next to his tractors, a farmer’s telehandler is his most essential piece of kit these days. And Merlo has an unequalled range of farm handlers. All are hydrostatic drive, for power and precision and, quite simply, sheer ease of use! With engine power from 102 to 120HP, and lifting heights of 7 and 10m – all with Merlo’s trademark huge cab, fantastic visibility and the ‘Ring of Steel’.

Sometimes, farmers need a low profile telehandler for older buildings, or even a Super-Compact handler for really tight spots. Merlo, of course, has these as well!

Merlo Compact Turbofarmers are only 2m wide and the low profile version is only 2m tall, as well. All with a 100HP turbo diesel engine and hydrostatic drive. And, where space is really at a premium, there is the new Ultra Compact Panoramic P25.6 – only 1800mm wide but with a full-size cab and a great performance!
 

How useful would it be for a farmer to be able to combine the lifting performance of a telehandler with the versatility of a tractor? Well he can, with the brilliant Multifarmer from Merlo.

At the front end, it’s a 3 tonne lift capacity telehandler with either 6m or 8.55m lift height. At the back, it’s a 120HP tractor with three-point linkage and direct drive PTO. And, there’s no compromise here – the Multifarmer does both jobs well!
 

Most telehandler manufacturers are content to farm out (no pun intended) attachments. But, Merlo has its own attachment design and manufacturing company, capable of achieving the very best matching of attachment to base machine.

There are dedicated lifting and personnel attachments, as well as a literally huge range of forks, buckets, grabs etc.
