Merlo introduces the Heavy Duty R70.24 S-Plus + R70.28 S-Plus Rotos to the USA

ROCK HILL, S.C. - Oct. 5, 2020 - PRLog -- .The R70.24 S-Plus has an 80' lift height and the R70.28 S-Plus lifts up to 91'. Both machines have nimble maneuverability thanks to the hydrostatic transmission (up to 25 mph) with its electronic Eco Power Drive control and three steering modes.
Supplementing Merlo's well-known 360° operator view (over 46 square feet of glass surface for brightness and visibility) is the 20° tilting cab. The tilting cab ensures an operator has continuous, visual sightlines of the boom and its load.
The S-Plus Rotos have a touch-control SMART multi-functional armrest; two horizontal capacitive sensitive joysticks; and a touch-sensitive dashboard. Functional controls, such as independent stabilizer placement and machine suspension, are integrated into the armrest.

The Advanced Safety System (ASCS) incorporates the best of Merlo telehandler safety systems. The ASCS collects and analyzes real-time data of the Roto's parameters—stabilizer position (65 sensors), boom extension angle, turret position, carriage rotation, load position, and weight—to be displayed on the highly visible LCD. The active suspension system automatically corrects the machine's position in relation to the terrain.

The four independent, multi-positional stabilizers can be individually deployed for precise placement on tight job sights. Merlo stabilizers are designed to tightly retract, keeping the compact footprint for safe jobsite movement. The load indicator display reflects the necessary data for safe load placement, with or without stabilizer activation.
