Merlo at bauma 2016

1 March 2016

Merlo will attend Bauma 2016 with in impressively meaningful style.

Located in the outside area 1008/3 with a high-impact stand communicating the company's high-tech content and the dynamic image of its products, Merlo will take the limelight at the event in Munich on the strength it having recently achieved the prestigious record of 100.000 telehandlers sold.

This figure was reached in November 2015 and has already been significantly bettered in the course of Merlo's daily search for new and ambitious targets.

Merlo celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2014 - although the Cuneo-based company had already enrolled its name in the roll of honour of "historic Italian companies" since its operations actually began way back in 1911. The history of Merlo telehandlers began in the 1980s and breaking through the 100,000 barrier of models build and sold is an aspect of vital importance in the new approach to "site work" which these machines ensured for sector operators. Merlo over time has become synonymous with telehandlers. This success was achieved thanks to Merlo's constant efforts as regards technological research that helped develop models with better performances, as well as introduce new standards in terms of safety and performance.

This ceaseless research commitment will once again be highlighted during Bauma 2016, with the presentation of many new models.

Machines designed for the construction world

Merlo's attendance at Bauma 2016 will be distinguished by a determination to meet the real needs of the construction world. The new models awaiting visitors to the Merlo stand will range from rotary systems - that further improve current standards in terms of attainable heights and applied technology solutions - to stabilised models. The latter models adopt technological solutions that ensured the success and widespread use of “Made in Cuneo” telehandlers, with the modular setting found on all new models launched on the market. And much more. Hybrid technology will make an imposing debut even in the construction sector where, especially in tight spaces and urban centres, it is vital to ensure that redevelopment and new building sites have the least impact possible. Merlo telehandlers are designed for the construction world and the new frontiers that today's challenges demand in this specific production area.

Merlo Roto: the machines that defined market parameters

Telehandlers with rotary turrets were launched by Merlo in the early 1990s and quickly became one of the company's flagship products. Boasting a great many patented technologies, the Merlo Roto range is still the landmark in the rotary sector.

Merlo will present many innovations at the Bauma show alongside the technologies that made this range so great, starting with the MCSS safety system.
