From Manulift News, www.manulift.ca

Merlo is proud to introduce the new Panoramic P27.6 Plus with its 75 hp Kubota engine, powerful class 1 hydrostatic transmission and automatic quick attach with hydraulic tack lock. With 2700 kg capacity and 6 meters reach, the P27.6 Plus is still extremely compact: 1,920 mm high, 1,840 mm wide and 3,900 mm long. It is the most compact equipment of its category.

The newest member of the Merlo family has a lot of new features such as the axles with pericyclic reducers and reinforced rotation joint, four dry disc brakes and parking brake with automatic engagement when the engine is switched off. This reduces the machine height and giving it a highly efficient braking system.

The P27.6 Plus also has separate hydraulic and hydrostatic circuits and is able to haul 12,000 kg, making it the ideal and most versatile equipment on the market.

Although these are great characteristics, nothing compares to the biggest change which is the new modular chassis designed to house the new modular cab. The design overhaul of the chassis maintains the perfect balance of weights and improves boom lifting performance and structural strength, while the new modular cab benefits from a new and simplified cab set-up. The main features include: width of 1,010 mm, two section door with 180° opening, more than 4,3 sq. m of windows for visibility and brightness, very simple access, ROPS and FOPS certified structure and pressurized cab (ISO 10263-3).

The new generation extra-large cab of 3’4’’ width includes: a new easy-to-read analogue/digital instrumental panel, an adjustable steering column, new door lock-unlock commands and electro-mechanical joystick with ON/OFF command.

Merlo added security and comfort elements like electrically operated parking brake, mechanically shock-absorbed fabric seat and boom hinged at the bottom to ensure side and rear visibility.

If we add up all those characteristics to Merlo’s all time superior level of production and patent item on each machine, Merlo achieved greatness by producing the most productive, efficient and versatile machine on the market who also happens to outperform competition on fuel consumption.
