Merlo TF45.11 High-Capacity Telehandler

Description

High-Capacity Performance for Demanding Applications

The Merlo TF45.11 High-Capacity Telehandler is engineered for operations that need serious lifting power, extended reach, responsive hydraulics, and dependable all-terrain performance.

With a maximum lifting capacity of 9,900 lbs., a lift height of approximately 34 feet, and a forward reach of up to 23 feet, the TF45.11 gives operators the working range needed to move and position heavy materials efficiently.

Its three-section telescopic boom, frame-leveling capability, permanent four-wheel drive, and advanced operator controls make it a capable choice for large agricultural operations, construction companies, industrial facilities, supply yards, municipalities, and equipment-rental fleets.

Powerful 170 HP FPT Engine

The TF45.11 is powered by a 4.5-liter, four-cylinder FPT NEF45 diesel engine producing 170 HP.

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

With a maximum travel speed of approximately 25 mph, the TF45.11 can move efficiently between loading areas and across larger properties or jobsites.

Up to 9,900 lbs. of Lifting Capacity

The TF45.11 provides a maximum lifting capacity of 9,900 lbs., making it suitable for moving heavy pallets, building materials, agricultural supplies, bulk products, equipment, and other demanding loads.

Its three-section boom provides a lift height of approximately 34 feet and a maximum forward reach of 23 feet.

This extended working range makes the TF45.11 well suited for:

• Elevated material placement
• Loading and unloading trucks
• Handling bulk agricultural materials
• Moving supplies over obstacles
• Stacking materials at height
• Placing construction materials
• Loading mixers, hoppers, and processing equipment
• Working around large buildings and storage facilities

Maximum lifting capacity is not available at every boom position. Always consult the applicable Merlo load chart for the selected attachment and machine configuration.

EPD and CVTronic Transmission Options

Depending on the selected configuration, the TF45.11 is available with Merlo’s EPD hydrostatic transmission or CVTronic continuously variable transmission.

Merlo EPD Hydrostatic Transmission

The EPD—or Eco Power Drive—hydrostatic system provides smooth acceleration, precise low-speed control, and efficient coordination between engine speed and transmission demand.

This precise operation is especially valuable when positioning heavy loads, approaching trucks, working around structures, or operating attachments.

Merlo CVTronic Transmission

The available CVTronic transmission provides continuous acceleration without conventional gear changes. It is designed to combine precise hydrostatic control at lower speeds with efficient performance during travel and demanding work cycles.

This gives operators another transmission option for applications requiring smooth power delivery, responsiveness, and productivity.

High-Flow Hydraulic Performance

The TF45.11 hydraulic system delivers approximately 42.3 gallons per minute at up to 3,626 psi.

This high-flow system provides responsive boom movements and the hydraulic capacity needed to operate a wide range of compatible attachments.

The standard electronic joystick places primary boom, attachment, and directional controls within convenient reach, helping the operator perform lifting, loading, stacking, and material-placement tasks accurately.

Permanent Four-Wheel Drive

Permanent four-wheel drive helps the TF45.11 maintain traction across soil, gravel, mud, uneven ground, and demanding jobsite surfaces.

Three selectable steering modes provide additional maneuverability:

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

This combination allows the TF45.11 to maneuver confidently despite its substantial capacity and extended reach.

Frame-Leveling Capability

The TF45.11 provides frame leveling of up to approximately 8% in either direction.

Frame leveling allows the operator to compensate for uneven ground and establish a more level machine position before lifting. This feature is particularly valuable when working on agricultural properties, construction sites, equipment yards, and other uneven surfaces.

Frame leveling does not replace proper machine positioning or compliance with the applicable load chart and operating instructions.

Available in Three Configurations

The Merlo TF45.11 is available in three North American configurations:

TF45.11T-170-HF

The TF45.11T-170-HF combines the 170 HP FPT engine, EPD hydrostatic transmission, high-flow hydraulics, permanent four-wheel drive, frame leveling, and a three-section telescopic boom.

TF45.11TCS-170-HF

The TF45.11TCS-170-HF adds Merlo’s hydropneumatic cab-suspension system. The suspended cab helps isolate the operator from shocks and vibration while traveling over uneven ground.

TF45.11TCS-170-CVT-HF

The TF45.11TCS-170-CVT-HF combines the suspended cab and high-flow hydraulic system with Merlo’s CVTronic continuously variable transmission.

All three configurations provide the same 9,900-lb. maximum capacity, 34-foot lift height, 23-foot reach, 170 HP engine, and overall machine dimensions.

Boom and Cab Suspension Technology

Available Merlo suspension systems are designed to improve comfort and machine control during demanding work cycles.

The CS hydropneumatic cab-suspension system helps reduce the shocks and vibration transferred to the operator when traveling across rough terrain.

Available boom-suspension technology can help reduce load movement and machine pitching while traveling with a load. This can improve operator comfort and help protect transported materials.

Suspension availability depends on the selected machine configuration.

Complete Merlo ASCS Safety System

The TF45.11 features Merlo’s complete ASCS system, which monitors key machine operating conditions and helps the operator work within the machine’s permitted performance limits.

The system works with compatible attachments and machine information to provide operating data based on the selected configuration.

The machine must always be operated according to the applicable load chart, attachment instructions, and Merlo operator’s manual.

Operator-Focused Cab

The TF45.11 cab is designed to provide excellent visibility, intuitive control placement, and operator comfort throughout the working day.

The reverse shuttle is accessible from both the steering wheel and electronic joystick, allowing the operator to change direction without unnecessarily removing a hand from the controls.

Operator-focused features may include:

• Spacious FOPS and ROPS cab
• Air conditioning
• Wide cab entrance
• Door opening up to 180 degrees
• Standard electronic joystick
• Complete Merlo ASCS system
• Reverse shuttle on the steering wheel and joystick
• Excellent all-around visibility
• Tilting cab for service access
• Available hydropneumatic cab suspension
• Available boom suspension

Features and equipment may vary according to the selected configuration.
