After a successful debut in 2024, Merlo returns to the National Ploughing Championships in 2025 with an impressive line-up of machines that serve both Irish farmers and the construction industry.

Supported by its network of Irish dealers, Merlo is bringing machines engineered for performance, safety, comfort, and the challenges of modern Irish work environments.

Agriculture Line – Up: Built for Irish Farms
From Merlo’s agricultural range, a selection of compact and medium-capacity telehandlers will be on display. From tight farmyards to silage clamps and bale stacks, Merlo’s agricultural telehandlers are built for versatility, visibility, and precision handling:

  • TF27.6 – A nimble yard performer with a 2.7-tonne lift capacity and 6m lift height powered by a 75hp Kohler Stage V engine. Ideal for traditional buildings and tight turning spaces.
  • TF33.7 – Offering a step-up in capacity with a 3.3-tonne lift and 7m lift height, this handler balances footprint and power via a 115hp Deutz engine, making it a popular choice on dairy and mixed farms.
  • TF35.7 – A favourite among mid-to-large farms with 3.5-tonne capacity, 7m lift, and a 136hp Stage V engine, ideal for intensive bale handling and grain loading

eWorker: Zero Emissions, Maximum Flexibility
Spanning both agriculture and construction, the Merlo eWorker 25.5 is an award-winning, compact, 100% electric telehandler that delivers a 2.5-tonne lift capacity, 5m lift height, and 8-hour runtime on a single charge. Quiet, compact and emission free, the eWorker excels in:

  • Horticulture, livestock sheds and farm buildings.
  • Indoor and urban construction, warehouse logistics, and low noise or nighttime operations.

Construction Line-Up: Built for Reach, Control & Safety
Merlo’s growing presence in Irish construction is powered by machines engineered for lifting precision, job site safety, and all-day performance—whether you’re working on infrastructure, structural steel, forestry, or multi-storey builds.

• ROTO 50.26 S PLUS – A high-performance rotating telehandler offering 5-tonne capacity and 26m lift height, powered by a Stage V 170hp FPT engine. With 360° turret rotation, a unique tilting cab, dual hydraulic circuits, and automatic stabilisers, it’s the go-to solution for complex lifts in construction, steel erection, tree work, and infrastructure maintenance.

• P40.14 PLUS – This 4-tonne, 14m stabilised model combines frame levelling, boom side shift, and Merlo’s ASCS (Adaptive Stability Control System) for safe, pinpoint material placement at height. It’s a top choice for housebuilding, roof installation, and tight-access projects where precision is essential.

These machines reflect Merlo’s operator-focused approach, delivering exceptional visibility, spacious cabs, and ergonomic controls that reduce fatigue and boost productivity on busy construction sites.
