Machine Overview

Designed to transfer loads across all types sites and terrain, whilst keeping operator safety, usability & efficiency at the heart of the machine. The DM9 Dumper is specified with a 180-degree powered swivel tipping skip, allowing the operator complete control over load discharge and distribution whilst unloading. The skip itself is manufactured from 6mm fixed steel with 15mm reinforcements with the use of HARDOX steel at the bottom.

Chassis and Steering

Equipped with a rigid chassis the DM9 dumper provides excellent stability, even on undulating terrain and a high level of ride comfort. 4-wheel drive, 4-wheel steering and 3 steering modes offer unrivalled performance, providing the operator with fantastic manoeuvrability and increased ride comfort for longer hauls.

Hydrostatic Transmission

Following the well-established Merlo drive train philosophy, the DM9 features Merlo’s own EPD managed hydrostatic transmission. The hydrostatic transmission provides the dumper with a smooth infinitely controlled jolt free drive and significantly shorter cycle times over longer transfers thanks to its 40km/h top speed. Potential fuel savings of up to 18% are offered by the Merlo EPD hydrostatic transmission when compared to other types of transmissions making trips to re-fuel less frequent.

Dual View Cab

The DM Dumper is equipped with a fully enclosed operator bi-directional Dual-View cab featuring ROPS and FOPS level 2 protection as standard. The Merlo Dual-View system allows the operator to swivel their seat 180 degrees, giving optimal visibility of the load when operating the skip and a clear forward view of the road whilst travelling.
