Merlo America Highlights Multi-Application Telehandlers at CONEXPO 2026

Merlo America is set to showcase its versatile telehandlers at CONEXPO 2026, North America’s largest construction trade show, March 3-7 in Las Vegas. The company’s booth (#F22041) is themed “See Where You Can Go with Merlo,” emphasizing the potential for telehandlers to function as multi-application platforms rather than single-purpose machines.

“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’s telehandlers are designed to replace multiple machines in a fleet, performing tasks typically handled by wheel loaders, skid steers, forklifts, light cranes and agricultural tractors. When combined with purpose-built attachments or partner solutions, a single telehandler can provide greater efficiency and operational flexibility.

“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 demonstrate its ROTO 50.35SPLUSEE4CVT with the Space 11 work platform and the Panoramic 120.10HM equipped with a Pipe Handler, highlighting applications in construction, infrastructure and utilities. Attachments on display include the tire handler, log grapple and box winch, all integrated into the telehandlers’ safety and intelligence systems.

The booth also offers technical briefings, leadership discussions and an interactive simulator experience with professional racing driver James Roe.

Merlo’s exhibit aims to redefine how contractors view telehandlers, emphasizing fleet consolidation, multi-application capability and operational efficiency.
