The widest cab of the category

The cab is designed to guarantee a record level of comfort for our customers. At 1010 m, it is the widest in the category, but careful attention has also been given to acoustic and thermal comfort. Furthermore, the low-frequency hydropneumatic shock absorber system allows for the drastic reduction of vibrations inside the passenger compartment and in the driver's seat.
 
Air conditioning:
The air conditioning system is completely new and has been developed according to automotive standards, halving the warm-up and cool down times to guarantee the optimal temperature in all conditions. The Merlo cab can reach an optimal internal temperature, even in extreme weather conditions. The inlet vent is placed on the side of the cab, away from potential sources of dust and dirt to maximise the service life of the filters. Inside there are 8 vents, three of which are dedicated to defrosting the windscreen, for optimal climate comfort.
 
ROPS/FOPS
The Merlo cab is FOPS - Level II - and ROPS certified. This ensures a high level of safety for the operator.
 
Pressurisation:
The latest generation Merlo cab incorporates a pressurisation system compliant with ISO 10263-3.

Visibility:
Merlo telescopic handlers are known worldwide for their extraordinary visibility, thanks to the large 4.3 m² glass surface and the exclusive roof design.
 
Reverse shuttle at steering wheel:
The reverse shuttle at steering wheel control: intuitive and within easy reach, increasing safety and manoeuvring agility while maintaining full control of the steering wheel.
 
Door that can be opened at 180°:
Exclusive door that can be opened at 180° for easy access and featuring an independent upper window: air circulation, visibility and direct contact with those working outside are assured without compromise.

Powertrain
