Surprisingly lightweight —21,900 pounds unladed —this compact machine (15 feet 10 inches x 7feet 9 inches x 8 feet 3inches) is equipped with an Iveco 4-cylinder diesel engine pushing 170 horsepower. The hydrostatic transmission, three steering modes and 25 mph top travel speed ensure nimble maneuverability under all conditions.
Frame leveling, integrated into the chassis, is available as standard on this model. It allows the operator to offset ground slopes of up to ± 8 degrees, allowing the telescopic boom to be moved out perpendicularly to work in maximum safety.
A wide split door leads to one of the roomiest cabs in the industry. The ROPS- and FOPS- certified cab is specifically designed for optimum operator performance. It supplies 360-degree views ensuring an operator has consistent sight lines on the load and terrain at all times.
AC/heat is standard. Controls, including the electronic joystick, are designed for operator comfort and ease of use. Plus, the cab is mounted on silent blocks to drastically reduce vibrations and guarantee maximum comfort during the most arduous machine activities.
Merlo’s Tac-Lock system for hydraulic clamping of the attachments further improves operating comfort. The TF50.8 versatility expands as it accepts many attachments such as buckets, specialty forks, clamps, winches, jibs, and hooks.
Safety is always first in every Merlo telehandler. The ASCS system’s design controls the operating parameters in real time. The highly visible LCD and cab pillar lights ensure the operator sees every aspect of the machine’s operation in relation to attachment, load weight, load position, and machine position.
The TF50.8 delivers fuel economy through Merlo’s exclusive Eco Power Drive EPD technology which achieves a reduction in fuel consumption up to 18 percent.
Merlo’s TF50.8 is specifically designed to handle large quantities of heavy material in a short span of time. It packages excellent performance with many safety features to create a highly efficient, user friendly machine.
