Proudly representing Merlo in North East Victoria and Southern NSW
Always first in class.
The Panoramic 50.18 PLUS was developed to offer the highest level of technology in terms of efficiency, performance and versatility of use to serve the most demanding operators. The engine, in compliance with the strict Tier 4B emission regulations, delivers a power of 75kW-101HP and, combined with the hydrostatic transmission with "EPD" electronic management system, guarantees a maximum speed of 40km/h while maintaining a low fuel consumption typical of MERLO telescopic handlers.
PERFORMANCE
Everything at your fingertips
Exclusive precision:
Guarantees maximum movement precision, thanks to the hydrostatic transmission, which ensures millimetric variations in the machine's movements and load's positioning.
Compact and lightweight:
The Merlo telescopic handlers are compact and lightweight to reduce manoeuvring space and impact on the ground. These features guarantee safety, manoeuvrability, productivity and lower consumption.
Visibility:
Merlo telescopic handlers are designed to offer the best visibility on the market, ensuring faster and safer operations.
STABILISERS Chassis levelling:
The tilt correction system, integrated into the chassis, is available as standard on this model. It allows the operator to offset the ground slopes to work in total safety. On sloping terrain the operator can correct the lateral inclination by 8% on each side, reaching 24% with the combined action of the stabilisers. This allows the telescopic boom to be moved out perpendicularly to work in conditions of maximum safety.
Boom side-shift:
This model is equipped with the exclusive boom side-shift, a system integrated into the telescopic boom that allows the load to be positioned without further manoeuvring, consequently saving time, avoiding stress and improving the machine's productivity.
The system allows for a boom side-shift up to 870 mm.
SAFETY
Not just feelings
Record-breaking safety:
The Merlo integrated safety system controls the operating parameters in real time, allowing the operator to work in peace.
Certified cabs / Certified protection:
The Merlo cab is FOPS - Level II - and ROPS certified, to guarantee a high level of safety for the operator.
Exclusive safety:
The exclusive new generation Merlo Dynamic Load Control (CDC) system automatically detects the type of attachment used, the machine's geometric configuration, the "boom extension and angle" and the handled load.
All information is displayed on the LCD screen, allowing the operator to use the telescopic handler simply and safely.
EFFICIENCY
Simpler and smarter
Simple and precise operations:
The entire range is equipped with hydrostatic transmission, which makes the work phases simpler and more precise. Moreover, the dry disc brakes limit the absorption of energy, thereby reducing the machine’s fuel consumption.
Reduced consumption:
The exclusive Eco Power Drive (EPD) technology automatically controls and adjusts the engine revolutions based on operating conditions. As a result, the engine speed is disconnected from the accelerator pedal. This technology achieves a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 18%.
POWERTRAIN
The Merlo designers have adopted technologically advanced diesel engines, advanced hydrostatic transmissions and axles equipped with dry disc brakes, which contribute to reducing power absorption. Diesel engine/transmission management is electronic to optimise performance and minimise energy consumption.
Kubota Tier III engine:
This model is equipped with a 100 HP (74kW) four-cylinder Kubota Stage III engine. The engine complies with anti-pollution regulations with the DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst). This guarantees simplified maintenance and less worries for the operator.
40 Km/h Speed:
This model offers a maximum speed of 40 km/h.
Load sensing:
The variable displacement pump with the Load Sensing hydraulic distributor guarantees higher performance, more efficiency and increased productivity while simultaneously limiting consumption and component wear.
The transmission system is managed in a way that guarantees a high static starting torque, smooth progression and an optimisation of cycle times and consumption.
Merlo designs and produces its own axles internally, which are thus made and tailored to each application, enhancing performance and safety for each model.
Portal axles:
The portal axles are made with a crown wheel and pinion gear reducer and ensure ample ground clearance. The kinematic structure reduces noise and pitch during braking and acceleration, improving cornering and transferring under load.
Three steering modes:
Merlo telescopic handlers offer three steering modes: only the front wheels, pivot steering and crab steering.
This exclusive solution adopted on the axles guarantees the maximum steering angle to perform manoeuvres in tight spaces.
Four-wheel drive:
The driving wheels, which are always engaged, are synonymous with maximum traction in all operating conditions.
Braking:
The integral servo-assisted braking system acts on the four wheels for maximum safety in every working context. Parking brake: activates automatically when the engine is switched off or can be engaged manually from the cab.
The PANORAMIC range’s stabilisers are simply structured to optimise fast and safe installation. The exclusive design of the stabilisers, developed to offer a high structural resistance, guarantees their limited encumbrance during the operating phases, always staying within the machine’s silhouette and limiting the visual encumbrances for the transfer phases. The independent control allows for the single operation of each stabiliser, providing easier positioning on the ground. Moreover, the shape of the support foot guarantees excellent anchorage to the ground, even in the case of soft or steep soils.
The Merlo designers have devised a sturdy, compact and lightweight telescopic boom, today a benchmark for design, load capacity and speed when carrying out work. The chosen steel is of the structural type with welds along the neutral bending axis, offering a rectilinear boom in any extension or loading condition.
Boom 17,5 m:
The boom consists of four sections: the maximum lift height is 17.5 metres for unrivalled versatility.
The components - including the boom extension cylinder, the hydraulic pipes and the electric cables - are housed within a cartridge structure inserted in the boom. This exclusive solution considerably increases the longevity of the components and makes the external shape clean and snag free, allowing for rapid maintenance operations.
Tac-Lock:
The attachments are easily replaceable, thanks to the exclusive Tac-Lock system for the hydraulic locking of the attachments, thereby improving operating comfort.
Hydraulic and electrical connections:
Hydraulic and electrical connections are available at the end of the boom, allowing for the movements of the various usable attachments to be operated from the cab.
