Designed around Merlo’s core philosophy of compactness, visibility and agility, the eWorker, TF27.6, TF30.7, TF30.9 and TF33.7 deliver the perfect combination of strong lift capacity and effortless manoeuvrability—ideal for traditional yard layouts, narrow feed passages and older farm buildings still common across the UK. What sets this range apart is its ability to deliver serious performance within incredibly compact dimensions. A tight turning radius and best‑in‑class overall size allow operators to work confidently in spaces where larger machines simply can’t go - whether that’s navigating poultry sheds, manoeuvring through cluttered livestock yards or operating inside traditional farm buildings. Despite their compact footprint, each model packs impressive capability. From the agile electric handling of the eWorker to the TF33.7’s 3.3‑tonne lift and 7‑metre lift height, farmers can tackle everything from bale stacking to loading diet feeders and moving bulk materials efficiently throughout the day. eWorker: A Sustainable Step Forward The award‑winning eWorker offers a true alternative‑fuel solution for UK agriculture. Fully electric and capable of delivering up to 8 hours of zero‑emission operation, it’s ideal for indoor livestock buildings, enclosed yards and environmentally sensitive sites. Its long battery life, near‑silent running and precise hydrostatic drive position it as a genuine, sustainable replacement for smaller diesel yard loaders—without compromising performance. Compact Performance Across the TF Range For those needing diesel power in a compact package, Merlo offers three standout models: - TF27.6 – 75hp, 2.7‑tonne lift capacity, 6‑metre lift height - TF30.7 – 100hp, 3‑tonne lift capacity , 7‑metre lift height - TF30.9 - 115hp, 3‑tonne lift capacity , 9‑metre lift height - TF33.7 – 115hp, 3.3‑tonne lift capacity , 7‑metre lift height Each combines Merlo’s smooth hydrostatic transmission with efficient, responsive engines and a class‑leading cab that delivers exceptional comfort and visibility. From early‑morning straw work to full days of loading and feeding, the operator environment remains a major advantage across the range. Fast Attachment Changes With Tac‑Lock To keep pace with busy yard routines, every compact Merlo comes equipped with the Tac‑Lock hydraulic attachment system. This allows operators to switch between forks, buckets and grabs directly from the cab—saving time, increasing efficiency and cutting downtime during peak workloads. Low‑Cab Options for the Tightest Spaces Farms with older buildings or particularly restrictive access points can take advantage of the low‑cab option on the TF30.7L and TF 30.9L, reducing height to just 2 metres. This makes it one of the most capable handlers for working in tight spaces, narrow feed passages and traditional yard setups—without sacrificing the lift performance, stability or operator comfort expected from the Turbofarmer range. Compact, Capable, and Designed for the Modern British Farm Together, Merlo’s compact telehandlers offer UK farmers a powerful combination of agility, lift performance, efficiency and future‑focused fuel options. Whether it’s reducing emissions with the eWorker or maximising productivity with the diesel TF models, the compact range provides practical, reliable solutions for the everyday handling challenges of modern British agriculture.
