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

In modern construction, where space is often a luxury, Merlo roto telehandlers set new standards in flexibility and productivity. As your specialist partner, Luibl Rental offers a wide selection of these technologically advanced machines. A Merlo Roto is not just a telehandler; it is a combination of mobile crane, aerial work platform and rough-terrain forklift. Continuous rotation of the superstructure eliminates time-consuming manoeuvring of the whole machine, which significantly shortens work cycles and increases safety on site.

Merlo is regarded as the pioneer of rotating telehandlers. Machines in the Roto series are characterised by their compact design and unique ring design. While conventional telehandlers often reach their limits when placing loads precisely at great heights, the Merlo Roto plays to its 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 scenario. The cab is designed so that the operator always has an optimal view of the work area. Many models also have a tilting cab, which relieves the operator's neck muscles and aids 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, enabling use on uneven terrain or in narrow lanes. The integrated load control system (MCDC) calculates safe operating limits in real time based on the current configuration and attachment, minimising human error.

A practical example shows the advantage of a Merlo Roto from Luibl Rental: on a facade project in a cramped 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, disrupting traffic flow and increasing the risk of accidents.

Using a Merlo Roto 50.26, the machine could be positioned and stabilised just once. With a vacuum glass lifter as an attachment, the elements were manoeuvred safely and efficiently to their destination thanks to the 360-degree rotation of the superstructure. The time saving compared with a conventional solution was almost 30 % on this project.

Safety has top priority when renting access equipment. Every Merlo roto telehandler in our fleet is subject to strict maintenance intervals and periodic inspections under Government Regulation No. 378/2001 Coll.

• Daily checks: Before every delivery, our technicians check the hydraulic systems, the load moment limiter and the integrity of seat belts and safety devices.

• Personal protective equipment (PPE): We are happy to advise you on the necessary fall protection PPE if the roto telehandler is operated with a work basket.

• On-site briefing: On 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 telehandler into a fully fledged crane replacement 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 installation 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.
