Product catalog summary
Introduction to Merlo Group
Merlo Group, founded in 1964, initially specialized in construction equipment and launched its first telehandler in 1981. A significant innovation occurred in 1987 with the 'Panoramic' design, featuring a motor parallel to the boom for improved stability and visibility. This design set a new standard in telehandler technology. The company has expanded its product range, focusing heavily on the agricultural sector, which constitutes over 60% of its turnover. Merlo produces 90% of its components in-house and invests 8% of its turnover in R&D to sustain innovation.
The Turbofarmer Concept
Launched in 1996, the Turbofarmer series is a bestseller, especially in agriculture. It has been updated with new diesel engines that meet Tier 4 Interim standards, improving performance and efficiency. The production process emphasizes modular assembly and testing to enhance quality and efficiency.
Powertrain Innovations
The Turbofarmer II includes advanced powertrains with new diesel engines (3.6L and 4.0L) and transmissions (2-speed and M CVTronic). These engines comply with emission standards without needing DPF or AD Blue, reducing operating costs. The CVTronic transmission ensures seamless power delivery and efficiency, with features like reversible fans for optimal engine cooling.
Versatility with PTO and Towing
The Turbofarmer series features a mechanical PTO and drawbar, increasing its versatility for various agricultural tasks. The PTO system delivers 90% of power to the flywheel, supporting a range of implements and tools, thus functioning as a multi-application machine that boosts annual yield and reduces ROI time.
Safety Features
Merlo emphasizes safety with the M CDC system, standard on the Turbofarmer series. This system uses sensors to monitor load parameters and provides real-time feedback to the operator, ensuring operations remain within safe limits and exceed EN15000 standards.
Cab Design and Comfort
The Turbofarmer II offers a spacious cab with excellent ergonomics and visibility, featuring a curved windscreen, digital dashboard, and advanced climate control systems. The suspended cab option provides superior comfort, making it unique in the telescopic handler market.
Fuel Efficiency with EPD
The EPD system, patented by Merlo, optimizes engine performance to minimize fuel consumption. It offers three operating modes: Transport & Tow, Heavy Load, and Inching, each tailored to specific operational needs. The system maintains PTO rpm independently of vehicle speed, enhancing implement performance.
Merlo EPD Technology
Merlo's patented EPD (Eco Power Drive) technology enhances fuel efficiency and versatility in telehandlers. Key features include:
  • Fuel savings of up to 3.65 liters per hour, translating to approximately 4,000 € annually based on 1,000 operational hours.
  • EPD controls engine RPM for optimal energy savings and includes three manual modes: Transport & Tow, Heavy Load, and Inching.
  • The system allows for automatic cruising speed and customizable PTO settings.
New Turbofarmer Family
The new Turbofarmer models (TF42.7, TF38.10, TF38.7) uphold Merlo's reputation for versatility and performance. Notable features include:
  • Two engine options (120HP and 156HP) and a record load diagram, with the TF42.7TT model capable of lifting 4,200 kg up to 7 meters.
  • Standard features like EPD for fuel reduction, M CDC for safety, and the new M CVTronic transmission.
  • 12 versions with 7 and 10-meter booms, offering the widest range on the market.
  • Innovative features such as a reversible cooling fan, new cab designs, and advanced suspension systems for enhanced comfort and safety.
Technical Specifications
The document provides detailed technical data for models TF 38.7, TF 42.7, and TF 38.10, including:
  • Unladen weight, maximum load capacity, lift height, and reach specifications.
  • Engine details, maximum speed, and fuel tank capacity.
  • Hydraulic system specifications and standard features like permanent 4WD and automatic parking brake.
Performance and Safety
