The Piedmont-based construction machinery manufacturer Merlo announces a new technological direction for its telehandlers. According to the company, the focus is on innovative geometric concepts in construction that are to be incorporated into future telehandler models. Details on specific product lines, technical specifications, or market launch dates are currently not available. The announcement suggests a strategic reorientation in competition with established manufacturers such as Manitou, JCB, or Liebherr, which are also increasingly investing in chassis and boom constructions.
