Merlo Teleskopstapler-Starr – fixed telehandlers from the Italian maker in Cuneo: the P, TF and Roto ranges, 36 to 85 kW, 2.7 to 12 tonnes lift capacity
Merlo is an Italian telehandler maker based in Cuneo, Piedmont. This page gathers the models of the fixed P and TF ranges and the rotating Roto range outside the individually named models: the P range covers Merlo's Panoramic telehandlers with a fixed cab, the TF range the more compact fixed versions, and Roto the telehandlers with an upper carriage that rotates through 360 degrees, combining crane and forklift functions. The recorded versions are powered by four-cylinder diesel engines.

The register lists here 28 versions with lift capacities from 2,700 to 12,000 kg, engine outputs from 36 to 85 kW from four-cylinders of 2,615 to 3,621 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 3,465 to 7,000 kg, gross weights from 6,400 to 10,000 kg, lengths from 4,230 to 5,210 mm and widths from 1,850 to 2,170 mm.
Telehandlers of this breadth cover almost every lifting and stacking task in construction, agriculture and industry, from the compact site loader to the rotating crane-forklift hybrid; Merlo is regarded as the pioneer of rotating telehandlers and competes with Manitou, JCB and Wacker Neuson.
When buying used, the condition of the telescopic boom and its slide pads, the tightness of the hydraulic cylinders, on Roto models additionally the condition of the slew ring and outriggers, the condition of axles and tyres and the operating-hours history all count; spare parts run through the Merlo dealer network.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
