The Panoramic 40.12 offers ease of use and essential features. This model has been developed to meet the needs of every construction site, rental company and large construction company, ensuring record performance and economic efficiency. The PANORAMIC models are easy-to-use machines that ensure reliability and performance. The new high-visibility cab, the four-wheel drive, the high ground clearance and the 55kW-75HP engine guarantee excellent results in terms of performance, comfort and safety. POINTS OF STRENGTH PERFORMANCE Everything at your fingertips Exclusive precision: Guarantees maximum movement precision, thanks to the hydrostatic transmission, which ensures millimetric variations in the machine’s movements and load’s positioning. Compact and lightweight: The Merlo telescopic handlers are compact and lightweight to reduce manoeuvring space and impact on the ground. These features guarantee safety, manoeuvrability, productivity and lower consumption. The widest range of tailor-made attachments This model is compatible with the wide choice of attachments designed specifically for Merlo telescopic handlers. The attachments are easily replaceable, thanks to the exclusive Tac-Lock system for the hydraulic locking of the attachments. Visibility: Merlo telescopic handlers are designed to offer the best visibility on the market, ensuring faster and safer operations. STABILISERS Chassis levelling: The tilt correction system, integrated into the chassis, is available as standard on this model. It allows the operator to offset the ground slopes to work in total safety. On sloping terrain the operator can correct the lateral inclination by 8% on each side, reaching 24% with the combined action of the stabilisers. This allows the telescopic boom to be moved out perpendicularly to work in conditions of maximum safety. Boom side-shift This model is equipped with the exclusive boom side-shift, a system integrated into the telescopic boom that allows the load to be positioned without further manoeuvring, consequently saving time, avoiding stress and improving the machine’s productivity. The system allows for a boom side-shift up to 660 mm. COMFORT The best workplace Quiet and comfortable: The new cab, of generous dimensions, is mounted on Silent Blocks, which drastically reduce vibrations, guaranteeing maximum comfort and maximum visibility for the operator. Quick accessories changeover: The Tac-Lock system for hydraulic clamping of the attachments further improves operating comfort. Protection of the handled load: The boom suspension system (BSS) is available as an option, which protects the load during transfer and maintains a high level of driving comfort on rough terrain. SAFETY Not just feelings Record-breaking safety: The Merlo integrated safety system controls the operating parameters in real time, allowing the operator to work in peace. Certified cabs / Certified protection: The Merlo cab is FOPS – Level II – and ROPS certified, to guarantee a high level of safety for the operator. Exclusive safety: The exclusive new generation Merlo Dynamic Load Control (CDC) system automatically detects the type of attachment used, the machine’s geometric configuration, the “boom extension and angle” and the handled load. All information is displayed on the LCD screen, allowing the operator to use the telescopic handler simply and safely. EFFICIENCY Simpler and smarter Simple and precise operations: The entire range is equipped with hydrostatic transmission, which makes the work phases simpler and more precise. Moreover, the dry disc brakes limit the absorption of energy, thereby reducing the machine’s fuel consumption.
