A carriage-mounted winch gives a telehandler controlled vertical lifting capability for suspended loads without adding the extra reach of a jib. Its compact design is ideal for lifting and precisely positioning equipment, mechanical components, construction materials and structural elements in tight work areas. It is a practical attachment for contractors who need the versatility of a telehandler winch while keeping the lifting point close to the carriage.

Adding a carriage-mounted winch changes the telehandler’s available lifting capacity because the weight of the attachment and suspended load must be factored into the machine’s operating limits. Since the winch keeps the lifting point close to the carriage, it provides a compact setup for vertical lifting. On compatible Merlo telehandlers, the automatic attachment recognition system identifies the winch and updates the load chart in real time, helping the operator lift within the machine’s safe working capacity.

Choose a carriage-mounted winch when you need a compact lifting setup that keeps the load close to the telehandler. It is well suited for controlled vertical lifting in tighter work areas where extra forward reach is not required. Choose a jib winch when you need additional reach or clearance to position suspended loads such as roof trusses, beams or structural components. The best option depends on your telehandler model, carriage size, lifting requirements and application. Contact one of our experts to find the right Merlo winch attachment for your machine.

The lifting capacity of a carriage-mounted telehandler winch depends on the winch model, telehandler configuration, boom position and working range. Merlo offers several winch-on-carriage variants designed for suspended-load handling, so capacity should always be verified using the load chart for the specific machine and attachment combination. Contact one of our experts to confirm the right Merlo winch for your lifting requirements.

Carriage-mounted winch compatibility depends on the telehandler model, carriage size, lifting capacity and machine configuration. Merlo telehandlers use different carriage configurations, so not every winch is compatible with every machine. Contact one of our experts with your Merlo model to confirm the right telehandler winch for your machine and lifting needs.

For some lifting applications, a telehandler equipped with a carriage-mounted winch can be a practical alternative to a crane or boom truck. It works especially well for controlled vertical lifting and positioning of equipment, structural components and construction materials when extra reach is not required. The right equipment depends on the load, lifting height, telehandler capacity, jobsite conditions and local regulations.

On compatible Merlo telehandlers, remote-control functionality can allow the operator to manage lifting operations from outside the cab, providing a better view of the load and greater precision when positioning suspended materials. Remote operation of a carriage-mounted winch depends on the telehandler model, winch and machine configuration. Contact one of our experts to confirm the right setup for your Merlo telehandler.

Operators should be properly trained on telehandler operation, suspended-load handling and the specific carriage-mounted winch being used. Depending on the province and application, additional training in rigging, slinging or hoisting may also be required. Manulift provides extensive operator training at no additional cost to its customers, helping them use their Merlo telehandler, winch attachment and machine features safely while getting the most productivity from their equipment.
