New Merlo telehandler

It looks to have way more detail than the old john deere tele-handler britains made.

I think that Merlo loader is more for biulding sites than farm yards though,the legs may get stuck in some soft ground.

I think the real thing "slews" in the centre like a 360 degree crane doesn't it, hence the stabiliser legs "all round", does the model do the same?? If it does it would be the ideal tool for the farm yard builder to have.

they had the real thing at the the norflk show looked good

As a full time job I drive a lowloader for a plant hire firm,we have ten Merlo roto's (the name say's it all )The model showen is a 40.25(4ton lift and 25m reach)ours are smaller 30.16 (3ton lift and 16m reach) we find people love them as there's much less shunting about on site.

i'll get one then!! :)

[JC]

Did you get one of these fb??

Is it the one that rotates??

[FB]

no i didnt FP, was umming and aaaarhing at Spalding but didnt pick one up. Looked ok and yeah it does rotate. Might order one earely next year or wait until Spalding again

[JC]

I've seen one with the cab that tilts back too to allow better vision, I wondered if it was a newer model??

[FB]

mmm maybe someone can look at toytrac??  ???

[Tractorman810]

thats the one i have seen fp,with a tilting cab,think you will find it's the same model

[JC]

Mmmm, they must have made two models then, I'll try and borrow some pictures of them.....

[FB]
