The 30.7 Merlo among the winners of the SaMoTer Innovation Awards

The telehandler awarded for 'the original and functional solution focused on safety and comfort'. Highlights include the unique CS suspended cab.

Merlo's 30.7 telehandler is one of the winners of the SaMoTer Innovation Award 2023, the prize for innovation promoted by the International Construction Machinery Exhibition that enhances the technical and constructive evolution of mechanical construction equipment. The 30.7 won in the Telehandler | Compact category for 'the original and functional solution focused on safety and comfort'. 

The 30.7 compact Telehandler was conceived and created on the concept of raising safety standards in its category and, for this reason, it is equipped with a series of systems that make it totally unique. Merlo's ASCS (Adaptive Stability Control System)prevents risk of the machine tipping over while handling a load.  The Merlo Active Personnel Safety system, with its wide-angle lens cameras, provides the operator with a view of the side and rear areas and human presence detection. The 30.7 can also be equipped with 360° LED lighting, which allows optimal visibility in all light conditions. The standard version of the 30.7 is also equipped with a system called MerloMobility 1.1, which provides real-time monitoring of machine functions, making it possible, among other things, to limit or programme the functions of the telehandler according to operational or safety requirements.

One of the key strengths of the 30.7 is that it can be equipped with the exclusive Suspended Cab (CS) system, a technological solution patented by Merlo that maximises comfort and ensures a new standard of safety. The low frequency system, in fact, allows the drastic reduction of vibrations inside the passenger compartment and facilitates the absorption of the stress transmitted during the transfer and work phases, even on uneven ground. This increases the safety levels for operators and reduces the risk of accidents or the development of occupational diseases related to this issue.
