The R50.30 S-Plus model has a lift height of 96’4”, a reach of 83’5” and a maximum load capacity of 11,000 lbs. Maximum load at full lift height: 4,400 lbs. Maximum load full reach: 880 lbs. Its 360-degree rotating turret, with a 20-degree tilt cab, supplies uninterrupted views and machine operation (without machine repositioning). With just one button, an operator can adjust the cab tilt up to 20 degrees, for continuous visual contact with the boom and its load. Within its compact footprint are independent, multi-positional stabilizers -- designed for rapid and safe deployment -- that easily adjust to suit a site’s topography.
Power is provided by the 170 HP FPT engine. The 2-speed hydrostatic transmission guarantees maximum movement precision. 4 Wheel Drive with three steering modes rounds out the travel versatility of this nimble machine. The Eco Power Drive (EPD) feature reduces fuel usage.
Standard features include frame leveling (with or without stabilizer deployment); a calibrated hydraulic system with dual displacement pumps; a Tac-Lock quick attachment program; pre-arrangement for work platforms; and Merlo’s ASCS (Adaptive Stability Control System). The ASCS system collects machine parameters to create real-time load and operational diagrams. Displayed on highly visible LCDs, this information guides the operator in safe and efficient machine operation. The no-flex boom expands the R50.30 S-Plus attachment versatility beyond forks to include buckets, jibs, hooks, winches, tree care implements, man baskets, and many others. Also, the Roto 50.30 SPlus arrives standard with remote control.
The structurally reinforced S-Plus cabs are engineered with optimal features for operator comfort and productivity. Operators can expect a wide door opening into a spacious cab with AC/heat and ergonomic seating. Easy to operate, the R50.30 S-Plus Roto has two horizontal multifunctional, capacitive joysticks. A very accessible dashboard, with intuitive controls, enhances the ease of use. The joysticks have sensors that automatically detect the presence of the operator’s hand. The right joystick is a part of the ‘Smart Armrest’ which is made with reactive soft-touch materials.
Plus, the Roto 50.30 S-Plus is structured with active suspension for a safe, more comfortable ride. For added safety, the platform and chassis are surrounded by Merlo’s patented 3” Ring of Steel. Other standard features include, travel and work lights, front and back; cameras, on the boom and back of the cab; FOPS and ROPS protective roof grid; wipers, front, rear, and roof; and expanded exterior access to the platform and turret with well-positioned steps on both sides of the chassis.
The Roto 50.30 S-Plus delivers a complete package of operator comfort and efficiency, machine versatility, and technologies designed to ensure greater safety and improved performance. This Roto fits well with the construction and tree care sectors. See the full line of Merlo telehandlers at ams-merlo.com.
