Panoramic P 120.10 HM Merlo Telehandler Specs & Dimensions (2016 - 2021)

Tier 4 Final engines

The High Capacity Duty models come equipped with Tier 4 Final engines. The engines provide an increase in performance with a reduction in displacements, so as to significantly reduce consumption (downsizing). Merlo selects the engines that power its telehandlers after thorough testing in order to offer its customers high performance, maximum efficiency, low fuel consumption and low maintenance.

Engines & Transmissions

The HM range is equipped with a Tier 4 Final engines: 125 kW/170HP. Merlo hydrostatic transmission with EPD (Eco Power Drive) as standard. As always Merlo telehandlers are equipped with hydrostatic transmissions for improved precision, safety and ease of use. The EPD can reduce fuel consumption by 18% giving a real yearly saving. The EPD Top has a “Speed control” button that allows to save the movement speed of the machine and keep it constant. The Eco function, ideal for yard handling operations, limits the motor's rpm, thereby obtaining further savings. The rpm regulator allows the operator to set the minimum rpm desired. This is very useful during bucket loading and when using attachments on the boom that constantly require a minimum flow of oil. The self-accelerating Joystick is adopted as standard, through which more speed of the boom's hydraulic movements is possible, thereby optimizing performance. The system activates beyond the threshold of 20% of the joystick's movements.

Merlo precision and technology

Merlo produces the booms mounted on its telehandlers in-house and has developed unique technologies to make them strong yet lightweight, protect handling mechanisms against accidental blows and allow users to position the load in the most precise manner possible. Boom sheet metal is welded on the boom's neutral bending axis. The cartridge protected handling system inside the boom, thanks to a patented solution, is easy to access if maintenance is needed. Tac-Lock is a hydraulic attachment clamping system from the cab. The levelling system for correcting tilt is built into the chassis, allowing the operator to correct ground slopes and work in complete safety. Additionally, the boom can be shifted sideways by the operator (up to 440 mm on the P50.18 HM), enabling the load to be positioned with maximum precision, comfort, and time-savings.

Hm regenerative system

To improve productivity for the HM family, Merlo has adopted the regenerative system, designed to increase the boom's angular speed while handling loads. The system makes it possible to automatically increase the speed by 36% compared to similar systems without the regenerative function.

How it works

The boom lifting system is fitted with two dual effect cylinders, one of which is equipped with the regenerative system. The oil coming from the pump enters the cylinder’s expansion chamber, and since it is dual effect, the oil in the opposite chamber is placed back into the pressure chamber instead of being discharged. This oil is added to the oil from the pump, speeding up the filling of the cylinder and, as a result, increasing the angular speed of the boom.

Axles and brakes, effective and efficient

Our Panoramic range telehandlers are fitted with ideal axles that are uncompromisingly designed and built in-house. The main body is made of welded steel, and the reducers are epicyclic. This type of axle has proven to be a winner for its sturdiness, reliability, and durability. It ensures a minimum turning radius of 3950 mm and a significant ground clearance of 430 mm. They come with 4 dry brakes and a parking brake engagement system that automatically activates when the engine is turned off. Designed by Merlo engineers, these axles are integrated into the chassis with levelling and side shift, a winning combination that only Merlo can offer. The axles adopted into the HM family are specific and structurally suited to support heavy loads in line with HM class.

Merlo Dynamic Load Control

The Merlo Group considers safety as an absolutely essential value and this is why it invented the M CDC system. The objective is to allow every operator to work in total safety by fully exploiting the potential of the telehandler and the attachment used. With the Merlo CDC system, the High Capacity models can automatically recognise the attachment fitted and consequently calibrates its performance in relation to specific load charts. The operator can check at any time the dynamic equilibrium of the vehicle, thanks to the led on the screen. For manoeuvres that may give rise to a telehandler stability risk, the M CDC system will block the boom and prevent any further movements that may worsen the situation.

From the idea to develop multi-applicability

Merlo adopts simple and effective guidelines in the evolution of the product. From conception to development, everything is studied, designed and created in the Group's plants. This simple "rule" also applies to attachments. Backed by years of experience, Merlo's technicians have developed a wide range of attachments, divided by type and load capacity. The multi-function Merlo systems, immediately operative in a multitude of different applications, are among the most advanced technology to offer efficiency, comfort and above all, safety in everyday work.
