TURBOFARMER 30.9 - 115

Proudly representing Merlo in North East Victoria and Southern NSW

Your best choice in every field.

The TF30.9 models are part of the COMPACT series, recipient of the Machine of the Year 2015 award because of its high and innovative technological contents; it is also a source of inspiration for the development of the Merlo ranges. The 3,000 kg capacity characterises the models in this range.
Merlo is the only manufacturer of telescopic handlers offering a compact solution with a lift height of nine metres.
The strength of the Turbofarmer range lies in its wide range of products, which allows you to choose between numerous versions with exclusive technological contents, like the BSS Boom Suspension System, to respond to different operational needs.
This range's telescopic handlers are also available in the "Low Profile" version, which allows the machine's height to be reduced by 10 cm without compromising the cab's dimensions.

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.

COMFORT
The best workplace

Quiet and comfortable:
The new cab, of generous dimensions, is mounted on Silent Blocks, which drastically reduce vibrations, guaranteeing maximum comfort and maximum visibility for the operator.

Quick accessories changeover:
The Tac-Lock system for hydraulic clamping of the attachments further improves operating comfort.

Protection of the handled load:
The boom suspension system (BSS) is available as an option, which protects the load during transfer and maintains a high level of driving comfort on rough terrain.


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.



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.

Fan Drive:
The Fan Drive is a technology fitted as standard that allows you to change the engine fan's rotation direction from venting, which cools the radiators, to blowing, which cleans the radiators, eliminating dust and residues collected during the work phase.

Customised mapping:
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%. The TOP version Eco Power Drive can be used in the following modes: "Heavy Load", "Eco" and "Speed Control" that allow the performance to be adapted to the various operational requirements. It also includes the engine speed management function from the joystick.



THE WIDEST CAB OF THE CATEGORY
Cabina.jpg
The cab is designed to guarantee a record level of comfort for our customers. At 1010 m, it is the widest in the category, but careful attention has also been given to acoustic and thermal comfort.
Furthermore, the low-frequency hydropneumatic shock absorber system allows for the drastic reduction of vibrations inside the passenger compartment and in the driver's seat.

Air conditioning:
The air conditioning system is completely new and has been developed according to automotive standards, halving the warm-up and cool down times to guarantee the optimal temperature in all conditions. The Merlo cab can reach an optimal internal temperature, even in extreme weather conditions. The inlet vent is placed on the side of the cab, away from potential sources of dust and dirt to maximise the service life of the filters. Inside there are 8 vents, three of which are dedicated to defrosting the windscreen, for optimal climate comfort.
This model is also available in a "Low Profile" version, with a height reduced to 2,020 mm. This version maintains the exceptional comfort of the Merlo cab, as the internal height remains the same, with the only difference being the fixing point on the chassis.

ROPS/FOPS:
The Merlo cab is FOPS - Level II - and ROPS certified. This ensures a high level of safety for the operator.

Pressurisation:
The latest generation Merlo cab incorporates a pressurisation system compliant with ISO 10263-3.

Visibility:
Merlo telescopic handlers are known worldwide for their extraordinary visibility, thanks to the large 4.3 m2 glass surface and the exclusive roof design.

Door that can be opened at 180°:
Exclusive door that can be opened at 180° for easy access and featuring an independent upper window: air circulation, visibility and direct contact with those working outside are assured without compromise.

AXLES
assali.jpg
Merlo designs and produces its own axles internally, which are thus made and tailored to each application, enhancing performance and safety for each model.

Epicyclic reducers:
The axles fitted to the machine are equipped with epicyclic reducers that are synonymous with great reliability. Their exclusive design offers a lower centre of gravity for excellent traction.

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.


BOOM
COMPACT.jpg
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.

8.6 m boom:
The boom consists of three sections: the maximum lift height is 8.6 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.

ZM2:
The ZM2-type tool carrier carriage allows for all Merlo attachments to be connected. The hydraulic locking of the tools is carried out from the cab, while the hydraulic and electrical connections feature quick couplings.

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.
