Panoramic P 50.18 HM
A new flagship has joined the Merlo range of high load capacity telehandlers.

Merlo designers have always had a clear goal - developing safe and comfortable machines. Safety and comfort are indissolubly related to one another, because they both improve working conditions. With the new Panoramic P 50.18 HM a third goal has been achieved - offering top performance. Its 5-ton load capacity and its 18-metre lift height ensure productivity in any application, even in the most challenging ones.

From the outside, it is immediately obvious that despite its impressive size, this is good-looking machine and it has a wide and generous cab. All controls are arranged in such a way that they are extremely user-friendly, and can be easily operated and monitored thanks to the Merlin system, which electronically manages all the operating parameters of the machine. Both the driver’s seat and the steering wheel can be adjusted, and the air conditioning system with numerous air vents maintains an ideal temperature inside the cab.

This new model is powered by a NEF Tier 3 six-cylinder, water-cooled diesel engine with an aftercooled turbocharger. With an abundance of torque, the engine is combined with Merlo’s traditional hydrostatic transmission, giving infinitely variable speed from zero to the maximum 40 kph.

The Load-Sensing hydraulic system uses a variable displacement pump, which automatically varies hydraulic oil delivery depending on the demand from the various hydraulic circuits, thus speeding up handling and lifting operations. The controls are managed through an electronic multifunctional joystick, so the operator has everything under control with minimal effort.
A new machine, with exhilarating performance.

The Merlin system is next-generation technology!
The Merlin system - Merlo Local Interactive Network - provides a completely new way to electronically manage all operating parameters of the machine. The heart of the system is a computer, which acquires and processes in real time all inputs and outputs from the various working areas of the machine. The Merlin system also manages all safety functions, and acts as a versatile and effective tool for advanced and remote diagnostics.
