Perfect fit for Interflow

Needing a machine that could be of great use in underground environments, water infrastructure leader Interflow has acquired its first Merlo telehandler.

Since its inception in 1936, Interflow has carved out a place as a leader in water infrastructure. Today, it's regarded as one of Australia and New Zealand's leading providers of trenchless pipeline solutions, specialising in the water, wastewater, stormwater and culvert sectors. The business aims to improve the lives of the people it works with, the communities it serves and the environment it works in, for generations to come.

Interflow works with local councils and water authorities across Australia and New Zealand to provide worldclass solutions for ageing pipeline infrastructure and ensure they continue to operate reliably. It specialises in the repair, renewal, restoration and construction of water and wastewater assets.

Interflow Asset Manager Brian Baker is responsible for equipment procurement and has recently managed the acquisition of the company’s first Merlo P40.13EE telehandler.

“The Merlo machine was purchased to provide a range of project solutions in underground environments,” he said.

“These tasks can include the insertion of rock bolts and shotcreting for surface stabilisation.

“Other site applications for the telehandler call for the use of its fork tines and the lifting jib for craning tasks.

“In particular, some of our work sites have height restrictions, so the low height of the Merlo telehandler lets us get to work more easily and a lot faster than other types of machines.

"One of our key reasons for investing in the Merlo telehandler was the versatility and flexibility it offered.
