With the P 32.6 Top, Merlo offers a model from the Merlo Telescopic Forklift series. The engine delivers 101.4 hp (74.6 kW), has 4 cylinders, with a displacement of 4,000.1 cm³. The engine comes from Kubota. Rated speed is 2,400 rpm. The machine is 2,150 mm high. The unladen weight is 5,960 kg. The wheelbase measures 2,721.9 mm. Ground clearance is 387.1 mm. The tank holds 100.3 litres. The gearbox has 2 forward gears. There are also 2 reverse gears. The pump delivers 108.3 l/min. The hydraulic tank holds 85.2 litres. Working pressure is 210 bar. The electrical system runs on 12 V. Lift height is 6,400 mm. The engine fitted is the BF4M2012. Tyre size: 405/70-20. The Merlo Telescopic Forklift series covers 107 models. Rated output within it ranges from 76 to 231.2 hp; the P 32.6 Top sits in the lower part of that range with 101.4 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the P 40.9 below it with 87.1 hp and the 27.8 above it with 101.9 hp. Unladen weight within it ranges from 5,960 to 15,500 kg; here the P 32.6 Top sits at the bottom of that range with 5,960 kg. 186 Merlo models across 6 series are on record.

Merlo P/Roto – the type number reads as capacity times lift height

At Italian manufacturer Merlo, telehandler type designations combine two numbers: the first gives maximum capacity in hundreds of kilograms, the second maximum lift height in metres. The P 25.6, for instance, lifts up to 2.5 t to a height of up to 6 m; the "P" marks the "Panoramic" range with its characteristic offset cab and clear view of the forks.

Suffix letters refine the picture: an "L" as in P 25.6 L marks a low-cab version with reduced overall height for low barns or halls, while an "S" denotes compact multi-stage ("Stage") versions such as 38.14S. For machines with full 360° rotation, Merlo runs a separate "Roto" line.

Models recorded in the database span engine outputs of 55 to 170 kW, own weights of 4,900 to 15,500 kg, capacities of 2,500 to 7,900 kg, and lift heights of 5.9 to 21 metres across 4 to 6 cylinders — the bucket covers everything from compact farmyard telehandlers to high-reach machines for construction and industry, represented by models such as 27.8, 38.14, 38.16S or 50.10S.

Used buyers should watch the boom condition and, above all, the load chart: the capacity named in the type code only applies at minimum reach close to the machine — with the telescopic arm extended, the permissible load drops noticeably, as shown in that machine's own load diagram.

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.
