Visitors to the Merlo stand will see six machines from the current construction line‑up:
P27.6 PLUS Compact Telehandler
Merlo’s most popular compact telehandler, Merlo P27.6 PLUS, delivers 2.7‑tonne lift capacity and 5.9‑metre lift height, the P27.6 PLUS combines high performance with outstanding manoeuvrability, making it ideal for confined and demanding work environments. Powered by a 75hp Kohler engine with hydrostatic transmission, it offers smooth, responsive operation and travel speeds of up to 40 km/h. Designed with operator comfort and safety in mind, the machine features a full‑size Merlo cab – the widest in its class, 180° door opening, excellent all‑round visibility.
Stabilised P40.13 & P40.17PLUS
Merlo will have two stabilised machines on display: the P40.13 and the P40.17PLUS, both offering a 4‑tonne lift capacity and featuring in-line, front‑mounted stabilisers, boom side‑shift and chassis levelling for accurate load placement on uneven ground.
While the P40.17PLUS provides additional lift height, the PLUS specification also delivers enhanced performance and operator refinement. Compared with the standard P40.13 configuration, PLUS models benefit from a more powerful 116 hp engine, higher travel speed of up to 40 km/h and the ASCS LCD digital display fitted as standard. These upgrades make the 40.17PLUS models ideally suited to demanding construction applications where productivity and control are critical, while the P40.13 remains a strong, cost‑effective solution prioritising simplicity, efficiency and rental appeal.
Heavy Lift P120.10HM
For the most demanding applications, Merlo will also display the impressive P120.10 HM, offering a 12‑tonne lift capacity and 10‑metre reach. This heavy‑duty handler is fitted with CVT transmission, flow‑sharing hydraulics delivering 160 l/min, and Merlo’s Advanced Stability Control System (ASCS) with attachment recognition.
ASCS continuously monitors operating parameters in real time, optimising stability and safety during lifting operations. A large in‑cab LCD display provides clear operator feedback, greater operator customisation and machine status at a glance.
ROTO 50.26 SPLUS
A benchmark solution in the construction sector, the Merlo Roto range delivers outstanding flexibility with full 360‑degree load positioning. At Hillhead, Merlo will showcase a special‑livery ROTO 50.26 PLUS, powered by a Stage V 170 hp FPT engine, and offering a 5‑tonne lift capacity and an impressive 26‑metre reach. The 50.26 PLUS is equipped as standard with dual hydraulic pumps, a tilting cab and automatic multi‑position stabiliser management, while radio remote‑control operation allows the operator to manage lifting functions from outside the cab, improving visibility, precision and on‑site safety during complex positioning tasks.
Tracked Carrier M700TD High Tip
Completing the Merlo line‑up is the Cingo M700TD High Tip, a compact, high‑performance tracked carrier designed for efficient material handling in confined and challenging environments. With a maximum carrying capacity of up to 700 kg (500 kg with attachments) and a narrow overall width of approximately 750 mm, the M700TD excels in restricted access areas and tight job sites. Powered by a 12 hp Honda GX390 Stage V petrol engine, it delivers reliable performance alongside hydraulic transmission and precise control, ensuring smooth operation on uneven terrain and gradients. The High Tip configuration enables easy loading into skips, trailers and hoppers, enhancing on‑site efficiency, while the robust rubber track system ensures low ground pressure and excellent traction. Versatile and highly manoeuvrable, the M700TD is an ideal support machine for construction and landscaping applications
You’ll find these machines and a warm welcome from the Merlo team at stand at A20 at Hillhead Quarry, Buxton on 23rd to 25th June 2026
