Merlo’s ASCS (Adaptive Stability Control System) prevents risk of the machine tipping over frontally while handling a load. The system regulates the speed and maximum degree of movement according to three operating parameters:
- Handled load – Kg of materials lifted
- Load position – reach, boom extension and carriage rotation
- Implement in use – automatically recognised by special sensors.
When the operational stability limit is reached, the system first reduces the speed of the arm, then stops movement completely. Independent control of each hydraulic movement allows for the identification of potentially unsafe movements, allowing only those which do not affect the stability, or which re-establish a safer position.
The ASCS system is equipped, either as an option or as standard, with a 10,1” colour display with integrated sensor for automatic brightness adjustment according to external light conditions. In this way, a simple reading of the stability conditions is always ensured, updated in real time, according to the load being handled and the implement in use.



Full ASCS is fitted on Merlo High Capacity and Rotating telehandlers as well as larger models of the Stabilised telehandler range. Light ASCS is fitted on Medium Capacity Telehandlers and the smaller models of the Stabilised telehandler range.
