Merlo passes halfway point

Leo ‘Manne’ Terqujeff, head of after-sales service at Finnish based distributor Rotator, has completed close to two thirds of the distance of his world record setting trip in a telehandler – see: Telehandler record challenge.

Manne set off from Italy on April 28th in a compact Merlo P25.6 telehander and has so far travelled 2,986km of the 4,000km trip passing through Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia the Czech Republic and Germany, meeting colleagues and friends along the way. Manne is currently in Denmark with only 1,014km to go to complete his journey, having almost certainly already broken the Guinness world record for the distance travelled in a telehandler.
