Merlo The technological leader in operating machines Merlo is an important family-run industrial group founded in Cuneo in 1964 that designs, produces and markets its own products under the Merlo and Treemme brands. People and the territory are at the centre of the project; the Merlo Group is committed to respecting the environment and making the work of the operator (and everyone who is passionately dedicated to constantly improving the efficiency and performance of our products) more functional, safe and comfortable. The product portfolio consists of a complete range of telehandlers, both...

Merlo presents Generation Zero Generation Zero is a highly innovative product concept which aims at revolutionising the world of material handling. After years of research into alternatives to heat engines and after the development of the world's first hybrid telehandler, in 2013 Merlo takes another step forward.

The range of highly innovative vehicles that represents a new zero point in the Merlo Group's technological research. The first full-electric telehandler eWorker: the first full-electric machine, is born. The progenitor of a generation destined to become an entire family of products, more and more green and technological. The new range aims at reducing environmental impact and increasing driving comfort, manoeuvrability and performance. Product development has required considerable investment by the Group, including in terms of research and productivity. The new machines will be built...

Electric telehandler range: safety and respect for the environment The continuous search for specific innovative solutions and technologies, to satisfy the needs of customers, has led Merlo S.p.A. to the creation of an exclusive range of telehandlers respectful of the environment, 100% powered by electric batteries. These machines are designed to completely reduce noise levels and polluting emissions, increase manoeuvrability in confined spaces and drastically reduce operating costs. The new range of electric models is the ideal tool for applications in closed environments such as stables,...

eWorker models The new idea of handling fruit growing plant nurseries Range consisting of two different models: • eWorker 25.5-60: with configurations for construction, rental and industrial sectors; • eWorker 25.5-90: with configurations for agricultural and livestock sectors. Hydraulic system: The hydraulic pump of Load Sensing type, coupled to an electric motor, is fitted on the left-hand side of the machine, protected by a casing, with great accessibility for maintenance in any situation. Transmission of eWorker is 100% electric and consists of a battery that directly powers the electric...

Safety For Merlo, the operator and his/her safety are among the key objectives. This has pushed the group’s research and development department to design a machine that represents a real turning point towards an even more efficient, safe and sustainable way of working. Thanks to the fully electrical power supply, it is possible to work with peace of mind with a drastic reduction of noise and vibration and no pollutant emissions. In addition, the machine has been design with the aim of operating at low voltage (48 V), reducing health risks. Finally, the machine complies with all regulations...

Anti-tilt system All models are equipped with anti-tilt sensors integrated into the rear axle, ensuring maximum stability without compromising the machine performance. The dynamic stability of the machine, according to standard EN15000, is intrinsically ensured by the boom geometry, the diagram and the weight distribution. e-Holder and braking system The braking system consists of two wet disc brakes installed inside the front wheel reducer, and an electrichydraulic negative parking brake, that can be manually and automatically operated: e-holder. The latter engages when the machine stops...

Performance The eWorker telehandlers by Merlo are equipped with 100% electric transmission that can be used with four- or two-wheel drive. This solution ensures: • High precision and modulability of transfer speed • High levels of power and torque to the wheels • Unparalleled ease of use This solution allows reaching a maximum speed of 25 km/h, ensuring millimetric adjustment of movements. The 2WD models are equipped with two electric motors directly fitted on the front wheel reducers, ensuring front traction and reducing power required for transfers. Maximum power 44 kW - 60 HP Maximum...

ACCELERATION CURVE Transmission management The eWorker only steers on the rear wheels, like lift carriers with forks. Making the most of the high steering angle of the wheels, that reaches 85°, the maximum encumbrance while steering is reduced to a minimum: 2.850 mm for 2WD models, 3.250 mm for 4WD models. In this way the eWorker ensures greater agility, manoeuvre and transfer speed, and the best steering radius in its category. A compact all-rounder! The transmission features three modes of use, depending on the customers’ needs: ECO: maximum saving, maximum attainable speed 19 km/h....

Comfort The cab design is developed to maximise the comfort level of the operator and access to the driver seat. Moreover, acoustic and thermal comfort has also been taken care of down to the smallest details, thanks to intensive research into the most innovative technical solutions and materials. The left side and the overhead guard of the cab can be removed to maximise ventilation during the summer months. A large front windscreen, the side windows and the rear window ensure perfect internal brightness. The window opens by 180° and can be locked in fully open position. The machine...
