The original Side Engine handler

Merlo were the first to use a side mounted engine, back in 1987, so they have a lot more experience of this type of design.

You can't beat this sort of all-round visibility, as the boom 'disappears' completely out of view!

UNEQUALLED VISIBILITY

Balancing the weight of the cab with the engine and transmission, improves balance across the machine, leading to much improved stability.

TREMENDOUS STABILITY

Together with hydrostatic drive, mounting the engine along the side of the machine gives easy access from ground level (and decreases the width of the machine).

EXCELLENT GROUND LEVEL ACCESS

All round visibility is one of the key features of all Merlo site and farm handlers
