UK based recycling and waste disposal company Stanton Recycling has added a new Merlo Panoramic P55.9CS telehandler to its workforce.

The P55.9CS has an 8.6 metre lift height and a maximum capacity of 5,500kg. Weighing just over 10 tonnes it is 2.4 metres wide and just under 2.5 metres in height. As well as featuring Merlo’s cab suspension system it has also been fitted with SG Revolution super cushion solid rubber tyres.

The machine uses an Eco Power drive system that links a machines hydrostatic pump, motor and engine through a controller which reacts to the speed demands from the operator and delivers the power in the most efficient manner. A three way selector in the cab allows the operator to choose between Ecopower, Fine control or Full control with Stanton Recycling saying it operates in Ecopower mode, retaining the ‘Full control’ mode for only the heaviest work.
