Manitou telehandlers range in size. The most common models are those we carry, which vary between the MT 625 telehandler which can lift 2.5 tonnes, and the larger MT 1840 that can lift up to 4 tonnes. These versatile machines are heavy-duty pieces of construction equipment, designed to lift large quantities of materials quickly at a variety of worksites.
The Manitou handler can be described as a cross between a forklift and a crane, as it utilises a boom that can reach heights of up to 18 meters It is typically used to move heavy loads up to heights that are unreachable for the standard forklift. Aside from moving heavy loads, telehandlers are also commonly used by operators to elevate contractors for cleaning, painting, repair, and maintenance, so long as the model being hired is set up as a certified access machine with a suitably qualified operator.
