Merlo telescopic handlers face with success the ice cold of the North Sea.
Those who need to work in the ice cold seas of Northern Europe must be able to rely on advanced technologies and machines suited to the climate of these areas and able to provide quick working times and precision positioning.
Johannes Moellers, owner of Danish company Farvandsvæsnet, specialised in the positioning of maritime signalling systems, knows this very well. Theirs is a crucial activity in the cold Danish waters, as it allows ships sailing near the coast to know in advance the conditions and perils they will encounter.
In the past, meteorological conditions and rough seas often made it impossible to see floating buoys. This is why, over they years, they have grown bigger and taller, so that they remain always visible.
This increase in dimensions required the use of high performance machines and reduced the available space to park these at the harbour. Hence it became essential to acquire a telescopic handler that was accurate in its movements, easy to drive, compact and agile in order to work even in the narrowest spaces. After a careful market research, Farvandsvæsnet has chosen P 72.10 K, a machine that can successfully offer the required performance level.
During the daily handling operation, another unique feature of Merlo handlers is particularly appreciated: the boom side-shift. This system allows a quick millimetre-accurate positioning of the load without long and complex manoeuvres.
The quality of P 72.10 K has enabled Farvandsvæsnet to significantly increase its daily production, showing that even in the most difficult situations Merlo vehicles deserve their fame.
