Merlo, ahead of traditional machines

Merlo offers greater productivity than traditional machines such as boom trucks and small cranes. In addition, the rapid deployment of stabilizers and leveling allows it to be close to the lift, often eliminating the need for a high-capacity crane.

The Merlo roto is well ahead of a telehandler without rotation in terms of productivity, reducing ground travel and requiring less space because it moves less.

Given its versatility, the more you use your Merlo telehandler, the more new uses you will discover.
