Hire Merlo Roto Telehandlers: Maximum Efficiency Through 360 Degree Rotation at Luibl Rental

In the modern construction sector, where space is often a luxury, Merlo Roto telehandlers set new standards in flexibility and productivity. As your specialised partner, Luibl Rental offers a broad range of these technologically advanced machines. A Merlo Roto is not just a telehandler; it is a combination of mobile crane, aerial work platform and all-terrain forklift. Thanks to the continuous rotation of the turret, the time-consuming manoeuvring of the entire machine is no longer necessary, which drastically shortens the work cycles and increases safety on site.

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

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 optimum view of the working environment. Many models also have a tilting cab, which relieves the operator's neck muscles when working at extreme heights and helps maintain concentration.

A decisive feature of the Merlo Roto series is the intuitive stabilisation system. The outriggers can be extended independently of one another, which makes it possible to work on uneven terrain or in narrow lanes. The integrated load control system (MCDC) calculates the safe operating limits in real time on the basis of the current configuration and the attachment, which minimises human error.

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

By using a Merlo Roto 50.26, the machine could be positioned and supported just once. With the help of a glass vacuum lifter as an attachment, the elements were manoeuvred safely and efficiently to their destination through the 360 degree rotation of the turret. The time saved compared with a conventional solution amounted to almost 30 % on this project.

Safety has the highest priority in the hire of height access equipment. Every Merlo Roto telehandler in our fleet is subject to strict maintenance intervals and to the periodic inspections prescribed by the VUV and the EKAS guidelines.

• Daily checks: Before every delivery, our technicians check the hydraulic systems, the load moment limitation and the integrity of the safety harnesses and protective devices.

• Personal protective equipment (PPE): We are happy to advise you on the necessary fall protection PPE in line with the requirements of the SUVA when the roto is operated with a work basket.

• On-site instruction: At handover, your operators receive detailed instruction in the particular features of the Merlo controls, in order 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 hire various attachments for your telehandler:

1. Load hooks and winches: Turn the roto into a fully fledged crane substitute for lifting suspended loads.

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

3. Pallet forks: The classic for materials handling on site.

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

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