STABILISERS Chassis levelling:
The tilt correction system, integrated into the chassis, is available as standard on this model. It allows the operator to offset the ground slopes to work in total safety. On sloping terrain the operator can correct the lateral inclination by 8% on each side, reaching 24% with the combined action of the stabilisers. This allows the telescopic boom to be moved out perpendicularly to work in conditions of maximum safety.

Efficiency
Simpler and smarter
Simple and precise operations
The entire range is equipped with hydrostatic transmission, which makes the work phases simpler and more precise. Moreover, the dry disc brakes limit the absorption of energy, thereby reducing the machine’s fuel consumption.
Reduced consumption
The exclusive Eco Power Drive (EPD) technology automatically controls and adjusts the engine revolutions based on operating conditions. As a result, the engine speed is disconnected from the accelerator pedal. This technology achieves a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 18%.
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.

Axles

Merlo concepisce e produce internamente i propri assali, che sono così realizzati e dimensionati su misura per ogni applicazione, esaltando prestazioni e sicurezza per ogni modello.
Assali a portale
Gli assali a portale sono realizzati con riduttore del tipo pignone/corona e assicurano un’ampia luce da terra. La struttura cinematica riduce il rumore e il beccheggio in fase di frenata e accelerazione, migliorando la marcia in curva e nei trasferimenti sotto carico.

Tre modalità di sterzatura:
I telescopici Merlo offrono tre modalità di sterzatura: solo le ruote anteriori, a volta corretta e a granchio.
L’esclusiva soluzione adottata sugli assali assicura il massimo angolo di sterzo per eseguire manovre in spazi ristretti.

Gli stabilizzatori della gamma PANORAMIC sono strutturati in maniera semplice per ottimizzare una messa in opera veloce e sicura. La progettazione esclusiva degli stabilizzatori, sviluppata per offrire un’elevata resistenza strutturale, garantisce un limitato ingombro degli stessi nelle fasi operative, rimanendo sempre all’interno della sagoma della macchina e limitando gli ingombri visivi durante le fasi di trasferimento. Il comando indipendente permette l’azionamento singolo di ogni stabilizzatore, consentendo un più semplice posizionamento al suolo, inoltre, la forma del piede d’appoggio garantisce un ottimo ancoraggio al suolo anche in caso di terreni soffici o scoscesi.
Boom

The Merlo designers have devised a sturdy, compact and lightweight telescopic boom, today a benchmark for design, load capacity and speed when carrying out work. The chosen steel is of the structural type with welds along the neutral bending axis, offering a rectilinear boom in any extension or loading condition.
Boom 12,5m:
The boom consists of three sections: the maximum lift height is 12.5 metres for unrivalled versatility.

The components - including the boom extension cylinder, the hydraulic pipes and the electric cables - are housed within a cartridge structure inserted in the boom. This exclusive solution considerably increases the longevity of the components and makes the external shape clean and snag free, allowing for rapid maintenance operations.
ZM2:
The ZM2-type tool carrier carriage allows for all Merlo attachments to be connected. The hydraulic locking of the tools is carried out from the cab, while the hydraulic and electrical connections feature quick couplings.
