Rotating telehandler
The right choice for construction sites and work at height
Designed to meet every challenge on construction sites
Whenever speed and precision of operations determine the success of a construction project, Merlo rotating telehandlers provide a versatile and high-performance solution. The continuous 360° rotation of the turret enables the operator to work on multiple sides without needing to move the machine. This reduces intervention times and increases productivity on vertically developed or complex geometric construction sites.
The possibility of equipping the machine with approved man baskets makes the ROTO an essential tool for work at height in total safety, both for installation and maintenance operations. The telescopic boom, combined with rotation capability, allows extremely precise positioning even at great heights.
Stability and safety in all conditions
Merlo ROTO machines are designed to provide the highest level of safety. Equipped with automatic positioning stabilisers, these machines deliver maximum stability even during complex operations or on uneven surfaces. The ASCS (Adaptive Stability Control System) allows the operator to monitor the machine’s stability in real time, enhancing performance.
In construction site contexts, often characterised by tight spaces and multiple operational interferences, the 360° visibility ensured by the cab and Merlo’s video control systems enables safe management of every work operation. Compliance with European safety standards also makes these machines suitable for public and infrastructure applications.
Application Flexibility in Construction
From material handling to façade work and structural assembly, a Merlo rotating telehandler proves to be a multifunctional ally. In fact, it reduces the number of machines needed on a construction site.
Compatible with a wide range of accessories, it allows switching within minutes from lifting operations to work at height. It also allows switching from logistics handling to plant installation support. The result is a more streamlined site management with significant savings in time, space, and resources.
Efficiency, Comfort, and Control
Operator comfort is another area of strength for Merlo. Spacious, ROPS/FOPS-protected cabs, adjustable seats, easy access, and intuitive interfaces make operations easier. Hydrostatic drive and proportional controls ensure smooth and precise handling, while speeds up to 40 km/h reduce transit times.
Choosing a Merlo ROTO for construction means investing in a single machine for multiple functions, improving personnel safety, optimising workflows, and increasing the return on investment at every project stage.
