Italian telehandler manufacturer Merlo will unveil a host of new products and ideas at Bauma in April, including a new road going boom/scissor lift, a 14 metre spider lift a heavy duty fixed frame telehandler and a higher capacity Roto telehandler.

The most unusual idea is the MPR15/18 which marries a road going 4x4x4 chassis, similar to that used on its all terrain concrete mixer, with a telescopic boom and large scissor type platform.
