The ROTO Range
Great innovations start with simple ideas, like that of the ROTO Range, which has changed the approach to telehandler movement by introducing a revolving turret system capable of rotating 360°, with no need to reposition the machine. The ROTO Range was launched in 1991, and from that moment onward this new concept became increasingly popular on a global scale, to the point that Merlo Group soon became an industry leader. The new ROTO family marked a new era by introducing new standards in the field of telehandlers for the construction sector, and the product offering was expanded to include three different ranges with different features designed to be increasingly well-adapted to the needs of the various users, such as easy-to-use models for the Rental segment, and Top-of-the-line models equipped with every feature the customer could possibly desire. Today’s new ROTO models stand out for their new cabs featuring exceptional comfort, their new "Modular” design concept, and their use of technologies designed to ensure greater safety, improved performance, and unparalleled efficiency.
Practicality
Ease of use and ergonomics are the key words according to which the machine’s new controls and management system were developed. The innovative multi-function armrest, made with automotive-style materials, is extremely intuitive to use, and is equipped with automatic systems for positioning the stabilisers. The ROTO model can even be manoeuvred effectively by less experienced operators.
Precision
Everything within hand’s reach: the Load Sensing and Flow Sharing hydraulic circuit allows for multiple simultaneous boom movements and rapid turret rotation, without compromising the accuracy of the movements themselves, for precision load positioning. Moreover, the hydrostatic transmission guarantees millimetric precision during machine movements.
Comfort
The ideal work place: the new spacious cab can be anchored to a structure capable of being tilted upwards by 20°, thereby allowing the operator to effortlessly oversee the loading movements. The lower part of the cab is connected using Silent blocks to drastically reduce noise and vibrations. Operational comfort is further improved by the tac-lock system, which allows the tools to be hydraulically clamped with no need to leave the driver’s seat.
Safety
Not just perceptions. The turret is able to develop a continuous rotation. The automatic load management system equipped with a high-definition digital display for the operating and safety parameters, fitted as standard, guarantees maximum performance without altering the stability of the ROTO. The ROTO S-Plus are equipped with active suspension systems to correct ground inclines, allowing the lifting of materials in complete safety.
Versatility
Completely compatible with the wide range of equipment specially designed for Merlo telehandlers and interfaced with the exclusive automatic recognition system. The system for remotely managing the machine’s movements via a radio control unit developed by Merlo allows the ROTO models to be operated under various conditions, thereby increasing their versatility.
Efficiency
Easier and smarter. The entire range is equipped with the powerful 170 HP engine combined with an electronically controlled hydrostatic transmission Eco Power Drive - EPD - that allows the engine rpm to be reduced when high power is not required. In addition, the dry disc brakes make it possible to limit the absorption of energy thereby reducing the consumption of the machine.
