Merlo telescopic forklifts are built with advanced technologies, thanks to investment in research and development and decades of experience as a manufacturer. So it's no surprise that their machines deliver incredible performance while being easy to operate.
Here are 5 exclusive features built into Merlo machines that may surprise you!
1. Remote control
With Merlo's remote control joystick, operators can work outside their machines in complete safety, with the same precision and control as if they were in the cab. It also allows the operator to use it while in the basket.
2. Side-Shift
Merlo's Side-Shift function offers an operating advantage without affecting its lifting capabilities.
With the ability to move the mast 1.5 feet in either direction, you're able to maneuver your Merlo efficiently in tight spaces and to readjust the mast to suit your needs, saving you time.
Lateral offset is active with all Merlo attachments. Without the need to reposition the machine, lateral offset offers astounding productivity and economic gains.
3. Cabin
The largest cab in the industry (extra wide 40''), Merlo's cab offers several advantages. Thanks to its suspension, advanced ventilation and air-conditioning system, and 360-degree visibility, Merlo operators can work comfortably and efficiently.
The cab can even tilt up to 20 degrees to help you keep a view of your lifting load, no matter how high it is. This feature is available for all Roto S Plus models.
By increasing your visibility, this feature also enhances your safety.
4. Right-hand motor
Merlo invented the right-hand longitudinal motor in 1981. But Merlo's precise positioning adds to the stability of a perfectly calibrated chassis with no counterweights, resulting in greater stability (no pitching, better axle durability) and better access to maintenance components.
Merlo engines, which benefit from the advantages of a hydrostatic transmission, can deliver road speeds of up to 40 km/h, thanks to power ratings of up to 170 HP.
5. Chassis
Merlo chassis are perfectly calibrated, thanks in part to a steel belt called the “Ring of Steel”. There's no need to add a counterweight, so there's no pitching. It's compact, yet very sturdy, offers 360-degree visibility and is designed to protect components. Finally, the chassis is more durable and safer.
