Merlo introduce ultra-compact telehandler

12 July, 2010

The result of an extensive technical and marketing process, the new ultra-compact P 25.6 telescopic handler from Merlo offers a solution for working in narrow or confined spaces, where conventional telescopic handlers cannot get the job done.

Safety and compactness were the main focus for Merlo designers, leading to a machine that is tiny (only 1.80m wide and less than 2m tall), reliable and quick, but can lift as much as 2.5 tonnes. Even with this small footprint, the new model has exactly the same 995mm wide cab as other Merlo telehandlers cab, which offers plenty of space, lots of handy storage compartments, and panoramic visibility.

Permanent four-wheel drive, all-wheel steer, good ground clearance with generous approach and departure angles, together with travel speeds up to 36 km/h, provide a superb driving experience in all conditions. A low centre of gravity and good weight balance assure safe travelling performance and stability on all surfaces.
