Merlo Telescopic Handlers

With more than 65 telehandler models, Merlo is the third largest heavy duty manufacturer in Europe. It also holds many patents and market changing innovations. Merlo brings Merlo telehandlers to the UK and Republic of Ireland from its home-base in Ringwood, Hampshire. Started in 1912, it wasn’t until the 1920s and 1930s that Merlo broke in to sub-fabrication for local paper and concrete producers. Through to 1970 the company added larger, heavy duty equipment such as self loading mixers and dumpers. It was in 1982 that Merlo engineered its first telescopic handler and it was then that a legacy was born.
