Hire a Merlo Rotating Telehandler: Maximum Efficiency Through 360° Rotation at Luibl Rental

In the modern construction industry, where space is often a luxury, Merlo rotating telehandlers set new standards in 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 is a combination of mobile crane, aerial work platform and all-terrain forklift. Thanks to the endless rotation of the upper carriage, there is no need for time-consuming repositioning of the entire machine, which drastically shortens work cycles and increases safety on the construction site.

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

With lifting 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 working environment. Many models also feature a tiltable cab, which is particularly helpful when working at extreme heights, relieving strain on the operator's neck muscles and aiding concentration.

A key feature of the Merlo Roto series is the intuitive stabilisation system. The outriggers can be extended independently of one another, enabling use on uneven terrain or in narrow lanes. 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 façade project in a tight city-centre location, heavy glass elements had to be lifted precisely to the fourth floor of an office building. A conventional, rigid 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 just once. With the help of a glass vacuum lifter as an attachment, the elements were manoeuvred safely and efficiently to their destination via the 360° 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 hiring aerial access equipment. Every Merlo Roto telehandler in our fleet undergoes strict maintenance intervals and the legally required periodic safety inspections.

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

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

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

The versatility of a Merlo Roto is only fully realised 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 platform baskets: With widths of up to 4.5 metres and high load capacities, they provide a safe platform for assembly work.

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

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

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