True productivity, however, comes from minimizing downtime between tasks. Our exclusive Tac-Lock system allows an operator to decouple from one attachment and securely connect to another directly from the cab( excluding hydraulic couplings), turning a timeconsuming manual process into a simple, efficient action.
Furthermore, we’ ve eliminated the steep learning curve often associated with operating different equipment. Merlo cabs are standardized across most of our entire product line, featuring an ergonomic joystick and intuitive controls designed for simple operation. Thanks to this standardized layout, an operator familiar with one Merlo can confidently operate them all, dramatically reducing the need for extensive cross-platform training.
Innovation that Empowers the Operator
True versatility extends beyond attachments. It’ s engineered into the very core of the machine. Features like boom side-shift allow for the precise lateral placement of loads without needing to reposition the entire telehandler— a critical advantage in confined spaces. Three distinct steering modes( front-wheel, pivot and crabsteer) provide superior maneuverability on crowded jobsites.
Operator protection is paramount, which is why every Merlo cab is FOPS and ROPS certified. Our models also feature advanced safety technology, such as the patented Adaptive Stability Control System( ASCS), an intelligent anti-tipping system that monitors the machine’ s parameters in real-time to help ensure maximum stability.
We also recognize that a comfortable operator is a productive one. The Merlo cab offers unparalleled comfort and visibility and can be mounted on silent blocks with an optional suspended cab system to minimize vibrations and reduce fatigue over a long workday.
Your Partners in Productivity
For a contractor, navigating the vast world of equipment options can be daunting. This is where dealers and rental houses become indispensable partners. They are the frontline experts, the trail guides who help end users match the right machine to the specific challenges of a job. Their role goes beyond a simple transaction; they are consultants who can identify opportunities for efficiency and introduce customers to new technologies that can save them time and money.
A knowledgeable dealer understands that a contractor is seeking more than a machine rental— they are pursuing a complete solution. By recommending a versatile telehandler equipped with the right set of attachments, they empower that contractor to accomplish more with a single piece of equipment. This not only builds trust but also fosters a long-term relationship built on shared success.
Merlo is committed to providing our dealer partners with the in-depth training and support they need to be those trusted advisors, ensuring every end-user gets a machine that doesn’ t just do the job, but elevates their entire operation.
More Than a Machine In an industry of ever-increasing demands, investing in equipment that offers a high return on investment is critical. The era of single-purpose machinery is giving way to a new standard of dynamic, adaptable solutions. A truly versatile telehandler becomes a strategic asset that enhances safety, boosts productivity and provides the flexibility to take on any challenge. It’ s a machine that works as hard as you do, ready for today’ s job and whatever tomorrow brings.
