Merlo’s Panoramic range of stabilised telehandlers is engineered for performance, safety, and versatility—making it a standout solution for modern construction demands. With six core models, including the P40.12, P40.13, P40.14, and P40.17 (all boasting a 4-ton lift capacity and lift heights from 12 to 17 metres), the range offers serious capability. Topping the lineup is the P50.18, featuring a 5-ton capacity and an 18-metre reach, while the compact P35.11 delivers stabilised performance where space is at a premium.
Every Panoramic model comes standard with chassis levelling, a key feature that hydraulically adjusts the front axle to level the machine before lifting. When stabilisers are deployed, the system enables up to 10 degrees of tilt correction—enough to compensate for an 18-degree slope.
Add to that the boom side shift function—controlled via a joystick roller—and operators can laterally reposition the boom head with precision, without needing to reposition the entire machine. This is especially beneficial for loading materials, placing pallets, or positioning items on scaffolding with pinpoint accuracy
Safety and operator protection are integral to the Panoramic design. The ROPS/FOPS II-certified cab includes reinforced glass, a windscreen guard, and roof protection to shield against falling debris. Visibility is assured in all weather conditions with wipers on the front, rear, and roof panels.
Under the hood, base models feature a 75hp Kohler engine that simplifies emissions compliance by eliminating the need for DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid). For more demanding applications, PLUS and TOP versions are powered by a 116hp Perkins engine.
All variants come equipped with a 2-speed, 40kph hydrostatic transmission and Merlo’s ECO Power Drive (EPD) system. EPD optimises fuel use—cutting consumption by up to 18%—while features like a programmable hand throttle, cruise control, and a self-accelerating joystick give operators refined control and focus on the task at hand.
From lifting roof trusses and positioning brick pallets to placing loads on upper floors or scaffolding, Merlo’s Panoramic range is purpose-built for the rigours of housebuilding and commercial construction. With impressive reach, compact stability, and cutting-edge safety and control systems, Panoramic telehandlers deliver unmatched precision and performance in high-reach, material-handling tasks.
