Elevate Your Jobsite: How Merlo Telehandlers Boost Construction Efficiency

3 min. of reading

On today's demanding jobsite, every second counts. Labor is tight, project timelines are strict, and delays can cost more than just money—they can impact your reputation. That’s why more contractors and rental agencies are turning to equipment that does more.

At Merlo America, we engineer solutions that challenge the tired mindset of "one machine, one solution."  From telehandlers to forestry equipment and agricultural tractors, our machines are built to be problem-solvers—designed from the ground up to help operators work smarter, faster, and with greater precision.

Do More with One Machine
A Merlo telehandler is a versatile workhorse for any job site. With a wide array of attachments—including buckets, forks, personnel baskets, and winches—operators can pivot between tasks seamlessly. The standard hydraulic Tac-Lock system allows for fast and secure attachment changes directly from the cab, minimizing interruptions and maximizing uptime. Whether you’re unloading materials, lifting trusses, or giving a crew access to a façade, you can do it all with a single machine.

Smarter Technology for a Faster Workflow
Our operator-focused design integrates technology that saves valuable time on setup and execution.

  • Exclusive Attachment Recognition: Our exclusive system automatically recognizes the attachment in use and reconfigures the machine’s operating parameters. This eliminates manual setup and guesswork, allowing operators to get to work faster with precision.
  • Adaptive Stability Control System (ASCS): The intelligent ASCS helps prevent front tipping by monitoring the load, boom position, and attachment in use. It regulates speed and movement, empowering operators to lift and maneuver with greater confidence and precision.
  • Intuitive Controls:  The ergonomic, capacitive joystick offers precise, proportional control over the machine's primary movements, ensuring smooth and responsive operation. By detecting the skin’s natural electrical conductivity, the joystick activates only when touched by the operator—minimizing unintended inputs and enhancing control integrity.

Designed for Uptime and All-Day Comfort
Better visibility leads to faster decisions and a safer jobsite. Every Merlo telehandler features a signature low-profile boom and a high-visibility cab. The 39.8-inch wide cab and expansive glass surface provide unparalleled comfort and a clear view of the surrounding area, reducing blind spots.

We know that operator fatigue slows down productivity. That’s why every Merlo cab is FOPS and ROPS certified and designed for all-day comfort with features like adjustable seating and an automotive-style climate control system that keeps your team focused and in control.
