Merlo telehandler rental - precision and performance for your project

In 1987 Merlo launched the modern telehandler as the first series-production machine of its kind. This lead can be felt in every current machine: in the Panoramic cab, in the hydrostatic drive and in the patented lateral boom shift. Luibl supplies Merlo rental machines inspected and with a personal briefing on handover - fixed models, roto machines and heavy-duty classes, with delivery throughout Belgium.

Merlo telehandlers differ fundamentally from competitor machines in three respects:

Panoramic cab with side-mounted engine: the engine is positioned at the side, not under the cab. As a result, the engine hump disappears completely from the operator's field of view. The 360-degree all-round visibility from the cab allows precise work with attachments even without a banksman - a direct safety gain on cramped sites.

Patented lateral boom shift: on certain Merlo models, the boom can be shifted sideways without moving the machine. This means loads can be set down with a lateral offset - precisely, without manoeuvring, without loss of time. On a facade project in Munich, a Merlo roto used this combination of continuous rotation and lateral boom shift to place glass elements with pinpoint accuracy without repositioning the machine even once.

Inching pedal and hydrostatic drive: the inching pedal decouples travel and working hydraulics - the operator can move the machine in with millimetre precision while the boom is under full pressure. The hydrostatic drive translates every pedal movement smoothly into travel. Result: no load swing, no loss of control when moving into tight assembly positions.

Level compensation: Merlo machines actively compensate for uneven ground and automatically keep the machine level. This extends the range of use to unlevelled sites, green areas and slopes without extra effort during set-up.

Fixed models of the TF and P series are the standard solution for construction logistics, hall assembly and agricultural operations. Compact dimensions, four-wheel steering with up to four steering modes and low ground pressure make them equally suitable for paved and unpaved surfaces.

Typical applications:

• Pallet transport in production halls with narrow passages

• Material supply on structural work sites

• Hay and silage work on farms

• Feeding conveyor equipment in earthworks

Technical range of the fixed series:

• Load capacity: 2.5 t to 7 t

• Lift height: up to 18 m

• Drive: diesel, optional continuously variable transmission

The four-wheel steering switches between front-wheel steering, crab steering and all-wheel steering - for maximum manoeuvrability even in the tightest spaces.

Merlo roto models combine telehandler, crane and aerial work platform in one machine. Continuous rotation turns the superstructure 360 degrees without a stop while the machine remains stationary. This makes it possible to serve work areas on both sides of the machine and behind it - without repositioning, without waiting time.

Specific advantages over the fixed model:

• In steel construction: girders are taken from the transport rack, turned and lifted to assembly height on the opposite side - one machine position for the whole operation.

• In building construction: precast concrete elements, facade elements and roof tiles are lifted independently of position, without the truck unloading area and the assembly area having to coincide.

Key technical data of the roto rental class:

• Load capacity: 4 t to 10 t

• Lift height: up to 30 m

• 360-degree continuous rotation with load moment limitation (LMI)

• Outrigger configuration: four independent outriggers for level load pick-up, even on slopes

The load moment limitation continuously monitors the relationship between outreach, lift height and load. If the combination moves outside the permissible range of the load chart, the system actively stops - no overload situation, full machine safety without operator intervention.

Attachments for roto models at Luibl: work basket (approved for carrying persons), winch, lifting hook, forks, earth bucket. The attachment is combined with the machine directly in the rental quote.

For loads beyond the standard class, Luibl provides Merlo models of the P 72 class. The Merlo P 72.10 lifts 7,200 kg to a lift height of 10 m - designed for precast construction, the assembly of steel girders or heavy machinery construction.

Applications of the heavy-duty class:

• Assembly of precast concrete elements in industrial and bridge construction

• Transport and positioning of machine components in workshops

• Material supply on large sites with high individual loads

The hydrostatic drive is fully retained in the heavy-duty class too - precision when moving into tight positions is guaranteed regardless of load class.

The rental price is made up of four components:

1. Machine rental rate: depending on model (fixed, roto, heavy-duty), working height and load class.

2. Rental period: daily, weekly and monthly rates. For long-term rental of several weeks or more, periodic inspection and maintenance are already included in the rental agreement - no separate organisation required.

3. Transport costs: calculated according to delivery location and machine size. Luibl uses its own fleet of low-loaders - no third-party provider, no scheduling uncertainty.

4. Attachment: work basket, winch or bucket are combined with the machine on request and priced separately.

Fixed list prices are not published, as project size, delivery location and rental period determine the calculation individually. Combined offers for large sites with several machines are available on request.

The following applies to operating a Merlo telehandler on public roads:

• Agriculture and forestry: the required Belgian driving licence category - relevant for agricultural use on the farmyard and on farm tracks.

• Road transport between sites: the required Belgian driving licence category, depending on total weight and configuration.

Regardless of the driving licence, a documented operator instruction and the required operator qualification in line with applicable Belgian safety rules and NBN EN standards are essential. Luibl provides a personal briefing by specialist staff at every machine handover - documented and compliant with the standards.

For roto models with a work basket, the Code on Well-being at Work, Book IV (work equipment) also applies. On handover, you receive an operator briefing tailored to the machine type.

Merlo rental machines from Luibl can be combined with the following accessories:

• Forks: standard for pallet and material transport

• Earth bucket: for earthmoving, bulk material and levelling work

• Lifting hook: as a crane substitute for individual loads

• Winch: for lifting work without a direct load pick-up point

• Work basket: approved for carrying persons, available for roto models from 20 m lift height

All attachments are matched to the relevant Merlo model class. The load moment limitation automatically adjusts the permissible load chart to the attachment in use - on roto models with RFID recognition, without manual input.

Luibl delivers Merlo rental machines throughout Belgium and to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Hungary and other European countries. Thanks to delivery throughout Belgium, delivery dates at short notice are possible.
