Merlo roto telehandler rental: maximum efficiency through 360-degree rotation at Luibl Rental

In modern construction, where space is often at a premium, Merlo roto telehandlers set new standards for flexibility and productivity. As your specialist partner, Luibl Rental offers a wide range of these technologically advanced machines. A Merlo Roto is not just a telehandler; it combines a mobile crane, an aerial work platform and a rough-terrain forklift. Because the upper carriage rotates continuously, there is no need to manoeuvre the entire machine, which shortens work cycles considerably and increases safety on site.

Merlo is regarded as the pioneer of rotating telehandlers. The machines of the Roto series stand out for their compact design and unique ring design. While conventional forklifts often reach their limits when it comes to placing loads precisely at great heights, the Merlo Roto plays to its full strengths.

With lift heights of up to 35 metres and load capacities of up to 7 tonnes, the Merlo models at Luibl Rental cover almost every application. The cab is designed so that the operator always has an optimal view of the working area. Many models also have a tilting cab, which relieves the operator's neck muscles and helps concentration, especially when working at extreme heights.

A key feature of the Merlo Roto series is its intuitive stabilisation system. The outriggers can be extended independently of each other, allowing use on uneven terrain or in narrow streets. The integrated load control system (MCDC) calculates the safe operating limits in real time based on the current configuration and attachment, minimising human error.

A practical example illustrates the advantage of a Merlo Roto from Luibl Rental: on a facade project in a confined city-centre location, heavy glass elements had to be lifted precisely to the fourth floor of an office building. A conventional fixed telehandler would have had to be repositioned several times due to the lack of manoeuvring space, which would have obstructed traffic flow and increased the risk of accidents.

By using a Merlo Roto 50.26, the machine could be positioned and set up on its outriggers just once. With a glass vacuum lifter as an attachment, the elements were manoeuvred safely and efficiently to their destination thanks to the 360-degree rotation of the upper carriage. The time saved compared with a conventional solution was almost 30 % on this project.

Safety is the top priority when renting access equipment. Every Merlo roto telehandler in our fleet is subject to strict maintenance intervals and the periodic inspection of work equipment under the Working Conditions Decree.

• Daily checks: before every delivery, our technicians check the hydraulic systems, the load moment limiter and the condition of the safety belts and protective devices.

• Personal protective equipment (PPE): we are happy to advise you on the necessary fall protection PPE when the Roto is operated with a work basket.

• On-site briefing: at handover, your operators receive a detailed briefing on the specifics of the Merlo controls to rule out operating errors from the outset.

The versatility of a Merlo Roto is only fully exploited with the right accessories. At Luibl Rental, you can rent various attachments for your telehandler:

1. Load hooks and winches: turn the Roto into a fully fledged crane alternative for lifting suspended loads.

2. Work baskets: with a width of up to 4.5 metres and high load capacities, they provide a safe platform for assembly work.

3. Pallet forks: the classic for material handling on site.

4. Buckets: ideal for moving bulk materials in agriculture or civil engineering.

Thanks to the Merlo quick-coupling system (Tac-Lock), these attachments can be changed conveniently from the cab, minimising downtime.
