The reduced dimensions (2 metres in width by 2 metres in height, with lowered cab) make them ideal for work in restricted environments while their performance levels are those of a thoroughbred. The chassis architecture is innovative and the telescopic booms new, extremely compact and built using the tried and tested Merlo system of having all the mechanical workings within the boom structure. The extension components, hydraulic and electrical systems are well protected within the boom structure. By not leaving parts on the exterior, damage caused by the inevitable knocks received on the worksite is avoided.
