Introduction

We offer the widest range of handling equipment available. The main industries that benefit from our machines include:

Construction & Civil Works,  Agriculture, Mining, Timber, Warehousing, Other Applications

Construction and Civil Works
A single Manitou Telescopic can lift up to heights of 30m, dig, load/unload, clean, scoop, tow (up to 30t), and carry items weighing as much as 35t.

• 38 standard attachments for the construction and civil works industries
• 60 seconds required to change between attachments
• 1 Manitou can carry out the tasks of 4 other machines in a fraction of the time, requiring only 1 operator, and while using far less fuel
• Four-wheel, two-wheel and crab steering modes mean Manitou machines can easily be manoeuvred into the smallest of spaces
• With the Piggyback Telescopic forklift, loading and offloading of large trucks can take place much faster from one side of the vehicle, without having to move around it
• Large tyres ensure minimal ground damage outside and allow the machine to function slip-free and quietly indoors
