Merlo America Showcases Intelligent Telehandlers at CONEXPO

Merlo America will present its multi-application telehandlers at CONEXPO 2026 in Las Vegas, March 3-7. The company is highlighting how telehandlers can perform tasks traditionally done by several machines, offering contractors and rental companies greater versatility, operational efficiency and fleet consolidation.

“We believe the American construction and agricultural sectors are ready for a new level of versatility,” said Cole Renken, general manager of Merlo America. “A Merlo telehandler is not simply a lift-and-place machine. It is a multi-application platform that allows businesses to consolidate equipment, reduce capital expense and do work they simply couldn’t do before. CONEXPO 2026 is the moment where we show the industry how transformative that shift can be.”

Merlo telehandlers support both construction and agricultural operations. The ROTO 50.35SPLUSEE4CVT paired with the Space 11 work platform will showcase elevated productivity on construction sites. The Multifarmer MF44.9 CS170CVT will demonstrate handling bales, trailers and daily farm tasks, highlighting the machine’s multi-purpose capabilities.

“At CONEXPO, we’re showing exactly what sets Merlo apart,” said Jennifer Brigman, vice president of strategy and operations at Merlo America. “We want people to walk away with a new understanding of what a telehandler can be – and how choosing Merlo unlocks greater efficiency, capability and potential for their entire operation.”

Merlo will display twelve specialized attachments integrated into machine intelligence and safety systems, including a log grapple, tire handler and precision box winch. Operators can quickly transition between tasks, improving productivity and jobsite efficiency.

The exhibit also includes interactive experiences, technical briefings and leadership discussions. Merlo’s goal is to demonstrate how a single telehandler platform can streamline operations, enhance safety and reduce the need for multiple machines.
