Looking for a compact and versatile multifunction machine with a big heart? The Cingo M12.3 EVO Handler is for you.
Cingo multifunction tracked carriers are designed to operate in confined spaces. They’re compact, dynamic, and offer exceptional performance.
Created to meet the specific needs of sectors such as construction, agriculture, and landscaping, versatility and compact dimensions were essential in the machines’ design brief.
Innovation and versatility are the cornerstones of the Cingo design, supported by the continuous research and decades of experience of the Merlo Group. These vehicles represent a concentrate of technology, designed to achieve three key objectives: safety, versatility and manoeuvrability. Their extraordinary compactness is the result of the design and integrated production of all components, allowing them to operate in confined spaces where larger machines couldn’t.
It’s a true competitive advantage which allows them to reach work areas otherwise difficult to access.

ROI
Cingo multifunction loaders are equipped with a wide range of attachments that turn them into extremely versatile machines that can be adapted to different operating requirements. Whether it’s a front loader, a hydraulic lift, a telescopic boom or other specialised attachments, a Cingo is able to easily tackle a variety of tasks. This versatility translates into a significant return on investment, as a single machine can be used for multiple applications, reducing costs and maximising operational efficiency.
And another significant factor is the manoeuvrability of Cingo tracked carriers, which makes them extremely easy to use and control. The ergonomic design of the controls, combined with the precision and responsiveness of the steering systems, allows operators to manoeuvre safely even in confined spaces, resulting in increased productivity and reduced risk of accidents in the workplace.
The range
The extensive Cingo range offers a complete solution for transport and handling, with a combination of different models, engines and accessories, making it possible to customise the carrier according to specific needs, guaranteeing optimum performance, versatility and reliability. The range includes:
• Cingo Transporter
• Cingo Multifunction
• Cingo Tool carrier, and
• Electric Cingo.
But those with serious landscaping work to be done, there’s a standout…

Multifunction
The Cingo system offers unique versatility.
The patented quick-coupling device for attachments, consisting of two robust steel arms, allows quick and easy replacement of attachments, and it’s thanks to this hydraulically operated coupling system the Cingo can be so easily adapted to different work tasks.
Cingo models – like the M12.3 EVO – are equipped with a hydrostatic transmission with gear motors, and have an integrated parking brake and excellent dynamic braking, resulting in shorter stopping distances and greater safety. The hydraulic, servo-assisted controls allow managing the speed – which can vary from a few metres per hour up to a maximum of 5.0kph – and controlling the trajectory with ease and millimetre precision.
Overall, the Cingo system offers a combination of performance, safety and ease of use that makes it ideal for a wide range of work applications. Its versatility distinguishes it as an effective and reliable solution for multiple work requirements.
The M12.3 EVO is a great example.
M12.3 EVO
The Cingo M12.3 EVO is the largest and most versatile multifunction machine of the Cingo models. It features the gear motors and integrated parking brake and is powered by a robust 21HP diesel engine. Tracks enable it to operate in various terrain conditions and provide excellent ground contact.
The Cingo M12.3 EVO is particularly well-suited to hilly or mountainous areas, where its compact size, low centre of gravity, and exceptional traction allow for effective and safe operation. The hydrostatic system, combined with hydraulic servo-assisted controls, enables precise management of speed and equally precise steering control, ensuring accuracy in both work and driving safety.
Recently on show at The National Diesel, Dirt and Turf Expo in Sydney’s west, Merlo Regional Manager Terry Dransfield found the Cingo was a big talking point with the crowd.
“We had the Tele 400 attachment on a 12.3 Cingo, and we got a lot of feedback on how good it would be in tight applications,” said a cheerful Terry from yet another equipment show. “People were impressed with how narrow it was and how it could access different vantage points.”
The high build quality came in for plenty of comment, as did the Cingo’s versatility, as Terry explained.
“They’re very universal,” he pointed out enthusiastically. “You can put a self-loading dumper on it, you can put a cement mixer on it, you can put the Tele 400 attachment on it, it’ll take a self-loading bucket…it’s a mutipurpose tool, really.”
Before we could draw breath a fencer rolled up and wanted to discuss using the auger to dig holes for posts and then change the to self-loading bucket to move the dirt. Terry lit up at the opportunity to show just how suitable the M12.3 EVEO would be.
