Merlo TF33.9 Medium-Capacity Telehandler

Description

Extended Reach Meets Powerful Performance

The Merlo TF33.9 Medium-Capacity Telehandler is designed for jobs that require impressive lifting height, forward reach, and dependable all-terrain performance.

With a maximum lifting capacity of 7,300 lbs., a lift height of approximately 28 feet, and a forward reach of up to 18 feet, the TF33.9 allows operators to place materials where shorter-boom machines cannot reach.

Its three-section telescopic boom makes it a capable solution for construction sites, farms, industrial facilities, supply yards, municipalities, and rental fleets.

Powerful 136 HP Deutz Engine

The TF33.9 is powered by a 3.6-liter, four-cylinder Deutz TCD 3.6 diesel engine producing 136 HP.

Modern emissions technology includes SCR, DOC, and DPF systems. An available reversible fan can help keep the cooling system clear when operating in dusty agricultural, construction, or industrial environments.

With a maximum travel speed of approximately 25 mph, the TF33.9 can move efficiently around large jobsites, farms, equipment yards, and commercial properties.

Merlo EPD Hydrostatic Transmission

Merlo’s EPD—or Eco Power Drive—hydrostatic transmission provides smooth acceleration, precise low-speed movement, and efficient power delivery.

The system coordinates the engine and transmission according to operating demand, helping reduce unnecessary engine load while maintaining responsive machine performance.

This precise control is especially valuable when positioning loads at height, approaching trailers, working around structures, or operating in confined spaces.

Permanent Four-Wheel Drive

Permanent four-wheel drive gives the TF33.9 dependable traction across mud, soil, gravel, uneven terrain, and demanding jobsite surfaces.

Three selectable steering modes provide added maneuverability:

• Front-wheel steering for normal travel
• Four-wheel coordinated steering for tight turns
• Crab steering for lateral positioning and precise alignment

The combination of four-wheel drive and multiple steering modes allows the TF33.9 to maneuver confidently despite its extended lifting height and reach.

Reach Up to 28 Feet

The TF33.9’s three-section telescopic boom provides a lift height of approximately 28 feet and a maximum forward reach of 18 feet.

This extended working range makes the machine well suited for:

• Placing building materials at elevated work areas
• Loading and unloading trucks
• Stacking agricultural materials
• Moving supplies over obstacles
• Handling materials inside large structures
• Reaching upper storage areas
• Performing property and facility-maintenance work

Actual lifting capacity at height and full extension will vary. Always consult the appropriate Merlo load chart for the selected attachment and machine configuration.

Responsive Hydraulic Performance

The TF33.9 hydraulic system delivers approximately 33 gallons per minute at up to 3,046 psi.

This powerful hydraulic system supports smooth boom movements and efficient operation with a variety of compatible attachments. The standard electronic joystick places the primary boom, attachment, and directional controls within convenient reach.

The result is a machine that can perform lifting, loading, stacking, material placement, and attachment-powered work with confidence and precision.

Available in Two Configurations

The Merlo TF33.9 is available in two North American configurations:

TF33.9-140

The TF33.9-140 combines a 136 HP Deutz engine, permanent four-wheel drive, three steering modes, Merlo EPD hydrostatic transmission, and a three-section boom in a versatile medium-capacity telehandler.

TF33.9CS-140

The TF33.9CS-140 adds Merlo’s hydropneumatic cab-suspension system. The suspended cab helps isolate the operator from shocks and vibration when traveling over uneven surfaces.

Both models offer the same maximum lifting capacity, lift height, forward reach, engine output, hydraulic performance, and overall machine dimensions.

Designed for Operator Comfort

The TF33.9 cab is designed around operator visibility, comfort, and convenient machine control.

Information displays and frequently used controls are grouped for easy access. The reverse shuttle is located on both the steering wheel and electronic joystick, allowing the operator to change direction while maintaining control of the machine.

Operator-focused features may include:

• Spacious FOPS and ROPS cab
• Air conditioning
• Wide cab entry
• Door opening up to 180 degrees
• Standard electronic joystick
• Reverse shuttle on the steering wheel and joystick
• Excellent visibility around the machine
• Tilting cab for service access
• Merlo ASCS Light safety system
• Hydropneumatic suspended cab on the CS model

Available features and equipment may vary based on the selected configuration.

Attachment Versatility

The TF33.9 can be equipped with compatible attachments for a wide range of lifting, loading, agricultural, construction, and maintenance tasks.

Available attachments may include:

• Pallet forks
• General-purpose buckets
• High-capacity material buckets
• Grapples and clamps
• Bale-handling attachments
• Lifting hooks
• Work platforms
• Agricultural attachments
• Specialized construction attachments

Merlo’s implement-recognition technology can help coordinate compatible attachments with the machine’s operating and safety systems.

Always verify attachment compatibility, machine capacity, operating limitations, and the correct load chart before use.
