Technologies used for higher-spec ranges, such as the cab, will be available for the first time and will redefine the standards of agricultural compact telehandlers: CS Suspended Cab (Merlo Patent); 40 km/h (also with low cab); type approval as an agricultural tractor (first time in the market for a low cab) version; the largest cab in its class; same cab for the entire range; same interior comfort also on “low-profile” models as a first; EPD as standard. The new models are the result of the innovative modular concept and boast characteristics that greatly improve the range’s features. Operating comfort is greatly improved, since TF35.7 and TF33.9 are equipped with the new modular cab, the largest in its class, which sets a new benchmark in terms of comfort and ergonomics. The CS cab suspension will also be available (this is the only model in its class equipped with this unique, patented Merlo technology): it enhances comfort and productivity at the same time. Thanks to the modular approach, the new family has been launched with the most compact size in its class, with a max. height of 2.25 m. The new design enables these models to also be the lightest on the market, weighing in at 6,600 kg, thus ensuring greater manoeuvrability and a significant consumption reduction. Reduced consumption is also guaranteed by the new Epd system that will be fitted as standard in this new range too, reducing consumption (and, therefore, CO2 emissions) by 18%. The new Medium duty range also introduces new engines, moving from a 100 HP Euro3 single engine to two engines, a 75 HP one and a 120 HP one, both Euro 3B (No DPF, No SCR-AdBlue). The new models are also equipped as standard with the Fan Drive system, which supports the correct and improved cleaning of radiator filters even in extremely dusty conditions, such as on building sites or in quarries. All models in the range boast a travel speed of 40 km/h, the highest in their class, and will be equipped with bridges fitted with Merlo planetary drives, ensuring greater wear-resistance than previous ones and making the machines’ footprint even more compact.
