Description
High-Reach Performance with Stabilized Control
The Merlo Panoramic P50.17 Stabilized Telehandler combines high lifting capacity, extended reach, powerful hydraulics, and advanced machine-positioning features.
With a maximum lifting capacity of 11,000 lbs., a lift height of approximately 54 feet, and a maximum forward reach of 41 feet, the P50.17 gives operators the working range needed to place materials on elevated floors, rooftops, scaffolding, and other difficult-to-reach areas.
Hydraulically controlled stabilizers, frame leveling, and boom side-shift help the operator position the machine and load with greater precision.
11,000-lb. Maximum Capacity
The P50.17 provides a maximum lifting capacity of 11,000 lbs., making it suitable for demanding material-handling applications.
Its four-section telescopic boom provides approximately 54 feet of lift height and up to 41 feet of horizontal reach.
This combination makes the P50.17 ideal for:
- Placing materials on elevated floors
- Supplying masonry and roofing crews
- Moving materials over obstacles
- Loading and unloading trucks
- Positioning structural and building components
- Handling industrial equipment
- Stacking materials at height
- Elevated property and facility maintenance
Maximum lifting capacity is not available at every boom position. Always consult the appropriate Merlo load chart for the attachment, boom position, stabilizer configuration, and operating conditions.
Narrow Hydraulic Stabilizers
The P50.17 is equipped with hydraulically controlled narrow stabilizers designed to create a stable working platform while limiting the machine’s overall operating footprint.
This compact stabilizer design is valuable when working on congested construction sites or in areas where available setup space is limited.
The stabilizers must always be deployed according to Merlo’s operating instructions and the applicable load chart.
Frame Leveling
Frame leveling of up to approximately 8% in either direction allows the operator to compensate for uneven ground before lifting.
This feature helps establish a more level machine position on construction sites, industrial properties, agricultural facilities, and other areas where the operating surface may not be perfectly flat.
Frame leveling does not replace proper machine placement, stabilization, or compliance with the applicable operating instructions.
Boom Side-Shift
The P50.17 provides boom side-shift adjustment of approximately 17.1 inches in either direction.
Boom side-shift allows the operator to make precise lateral adjustments after positioning and stabilizing the machine. This can reduce the need to reposition the entire telehandler when aligning a load with an elevated work area.
It is especially helpful when placing pallets, building materials, or equipment into tight or elevated locations.
Powered by a 115 HP Perkins Engine
The P50.17 is powered by a 3.6-liter, four-cylinder Perkins 904 diesel engine producing 115 HP.
Modern emissions-control technology includes SCR, DOC, and DPF systems. An available reversible fan can help maintain cooling-system efficiency by clearing dust and debris in demanding working environments.
The machine offers a maximum travel speed of approximately 25 mph, helping it move efficiently around jobsites and commercial properties.
Merlo EPD TOP 2V Transmission
The Merlo EPD—or Eco Power Drive—hydrostatic transmission provides smooth acceleration, precise low-speed control, and efficient coordination between engine speed and operating demand.
The TOP 2V transmission configuration is designed to provide responsive performance during lifting operations and efficient movement around the jobsite.
Precise hydrostatic control is especially valuable when positioning the machine, approaching a load, aligning with an elevated work area, or operating within a restricted space.
Powerful Hydraulic Performance
The P50.17 hydraulic system delivers approximately 38.3 gallons per minute at up to 3,626 psi.
This provides the hydraulic performance needed for responsive boom movement, stabilizer operation, boom side-shift, and compatible hydraulic attachments.
A standard electronic joystick places the machine’s primary boom and attachment functions within convenient reach of the operator.
Permanent Four-Wheel Drive
Permanent four-wheel drive provides dependable traction across soil, mud, gravel, uneven surfaces, and demanding construction sites.
Three selectable steering modes improve maneuverability:
- Front-wheel steering for regular travel
- Four-wheel coordinated steering for tighter turns
- Crab steering for lateral positioning and precise alignment
This combination allows the P50.17 to navigate confined areas despite its impressive lifting height and reach.
Complete Merlo ASCS Safety System
The P50.17 features Merlo’s complete ASCS system. The system monitors key machine conditions and helps the operator remain within the permitted performance limits for the selected configuration.
Machine position, load information, boom extension, attachment data, and other operating conditions can be monitored as part of the system.
The ASCS system assists the operator but does not replace the appropriate load chart, operating manual, inspection procedures, or proper training.
Designed Around the Operator
The P50.17 cab is designed to provide visibility, comfort, and intuitive access to frequently used controls.
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
- Standard electronic joystick
- Complete Merlo ASCS system
- Reverse shuttle on the steering wheel and joystick
- Excellent all-around visibility
- Tilting cab for service access
- Wide and convenient cab entry
- Ergonomically grouped controls and information displays
Available equipment may vary according to the machine’s final configuration.
Attachment Versatility
The P50.17 can be equipped with compatible attachments for a wide variety of elevated material-handling applications.
Available attachments may include:
- Heavy-duty pallet forks
- General-purpose buckets
- Material buckets
- Grapples and clamps
- Lifting hooks
- Work platforms
- Specialized construction attachments
- Agricultural attachments
- Industrial material-handling attachments
Always verify attachment compatibility, load capacity, stabilizer requirements, machine configuration, and the correct load chart before operating the machine.
