Merlo ROTO40.18S Rotating Telehandler

Price On Application

The Merlo ROTO40.18S rotating telehandler has a maximum capacity of 4000kg and a lift height of 17.7 meters.

The best workplace : Comfort

Exclusive Comfort

An unprecedented design guarantees maximum functionality and comfort; grouping the information provided to the driver and the controls of the various systems and devices for optimal ergonomics. The reverse shuttle on the steering wheel is also present on the joystick.

Cab Entry

To ensure simple and easy access to the cab, the door of Merlo telehandlers can be opened by up to 180°. In addition, the inside of the door is equipped with a large handrail to help the operator when getting inside and outside of the cab.

Air-Conditioning

Developed according to automotive standards, cutting the warm-up and cool-down times in half compared to a conventional air conditioning system. The inlet vent is placed on the side of the cab, away from potential sources of dust and dirt, while inside there are 8 vents.

Simpler and smarter : Efficiency

Transmission

In order to ensure a reduction in consumption and operating costs, Merlo telescopic handlers boast full electronic management of the transmission and engine, in order to minimise RPM and, consequently, fuel demand.

Steering Modes

The axles ensure the maximum steering angle to perform manoeuvres in tight spaces. Additionally, the operator can manage the steering of the machine with three different options according to the specific needs of the job.

Visibility

Merlo’s improved visibility increases range of movement and safety for operators.

Everything at your fingertips : Performance

Transmission

The Merlo telehandlers have excellent braking capacity when the accelerator pedal is released, guaranteeing high torque to the wheels during material handling and transfers, as well as millimetric precision of movements when positioning the load.

Engines

All models feature a combustion engine in an original Merlo mounting layout, developed by Merlo with the invention of the panoramic visibility models, ensuring maximum accessibility to components in case of programmed and/or extraordinary maintenance.

Axles

The exclusively designed axles are manufactured and developed in-house by Merlo, and can be equipped with differential lock to ensure traction on any terrain, regardless of how unstable.

Not just feelings : Safety

Active Safety

In order to remain fully compliant with regulations in frontal tipping prevention, Merlo handlers are equipped with features developed specifically to keep the operator safe from frontal tipping, without sacrificing performance, particularly of boom speed and lifting capacity.

Aerial Work Platform

The Merlo telehandlers can be configured with aerial work platform. This solution, complying with EN280 standard, assures an increased level of active and passive safety during work at heights, and enhances machine versatility.

Certified Cab

All Merlo telehandlers have a metal structure above the glass roof on the outside of the cab to comply fully with FOPS Level II standard, the most stringent certification level in protecting the operator from falling objects.

ASCS

Merlo’s ASCS (Adaptive Stability Control System) prevents risk of the machine tipping over 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, turret rotation 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.

Display

The ASCS system is equipped 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. The operator can always see at what point the safety system will be triggered. Once the system intervenes by blocking all movements, a pop-up message appears, showing the operator all movements and operations which are not detrimental to the stability of the machine. Finally, the inclinometer is shown to maximise the safe use of the machine.

Working Area Setting

A special function, accessible via the display, allows the operator to set working area restrictions. Adjustments can be made to vertical and horizontal movements (minimum and maximum height and extension), or to the relative movements of the boom (maximum and minimum lift angle, turret rotation angle and extension). Adjustments are easy and precise, operating using the green thumb-wheel located near the joystick. This guarantees accurate adjustments of 0,1 metres while operating the boom. Angles can be adjusted to an accuracy of 1 degree. The working area settings increase safety during repetitive work, particularly in confined spaces, such as inside a warehouse.
