Las Vegas, United States - Merlo America LLC., a construction equipment manufacturer, will use ConExpo 2026 to challenge conventional thinking around telehandlers, declaring that “the era of the single-purpose telehandler is over.” At the exhibition, the company will present its latest range of multi-application telehandlers and attachments, demonstrating how a single Merlo machine can replace multiple pieces of equipment on construction sites, farms and forestry operations.
Mr. Cole Renken, General Manager of Merlo America, said, “We believe the American construction and agricultural sectors are ready for a new level of versatility. A Merlo telehandler is not just a lift-and-place machine. It is a multi-application platform that enables businesses to consolidate equipment, reduce capital costs and take on jobs they couldn’t do before. ConExpo 2026 is where we show how transformative that shift can be.”
Merlo will showcase 14 machines and 12 specialised attachments. Key models on display will include the ROTO 50.35SPLUSEE4CVT paired with the Space 11 work platform to demonstrate reach and elevated productivity; the Panoramic 120.10HM fitted with a pipe handler new to the U.S. market, underlining Merlo’s growing focus on utility and infrastructure applications; and the Multifarmer MF44.9 CS170CVT, illustrating how a single machine can handle bale loading, trailer towing and everyday agricultural tasks.
The attachment lineup will feature integrated solutions designed to work directly with Merlo’s machine intelligence and safety systems. Highlights include a newly introduced tire handler, a forestry-ready log grapple and a precision box winch, all aimed at enabling fast task changes and greater jobsite efficiency.
Beyond equipment displays, the Merlo stand will include dedicated areas for meetings and technical discussions with leadership from Merlo America as well as teams from Merlo Group Italy, Merlo UK & Ireland, and Merlo Australia & New Zealand.
