Manitou Group is presenting a variety of options at Bauma, the world’s largest building commerce truthful.
The group is asserting its ambitions when it comes to the power transition, with an expanded electrical vary and a brand new hydrogen-powered prototype. Amongst its improvements on show can be the OEM’s all-new high-lift rotating telehandler.
In a resolute transfer in direction of low-emission options, Manitou Group is unveiling two new Manitou MT 1440e and MT 1840e electrical telehandlers.
Powered by a lithium-ion battery, these fashions are designed to satisfy essentially the most demanding necessities and are distinguished by their extraordinarily excessive efficiency. In response to the OEM, the 63kWh battery powers the machine for your entire workday.
Arnaud Boyer, VP advertising and product improvement says: “These two high-lift fashions are the most recent additions to our vary of 100% electrical telehandlers. Their degree of efficiency allows customers to achieve in productiveness whereas decreasing their whole value of possession, with a discount in energy-related prices of just about 75% in contrast with combustion fashions.” Outfitted with an built-in 9 kw charger, these fashions are additionally appropriate with the brand new Manitou 30 kw fast charger. With a transferring pace of 25 km/h, these telehandlers can transfer shortly from one web site to a different. The MT 1440e and MT 1840e boast lifting heights of 14m and 18m respectively, and a load capability of as much as 4 tonnes. Their 13m outreach additionally makes it attainable to work on websites with a number of configurations. In compliance with Low Emission Zone (LEZ) laws, these zero-emission machines provide a more healthy working atmosphere, whereas benefiting from a redesigned cabin for optimized visibility and lowered noise ranges. These 12-tonne vans include a typical two-year guarantee, with 70% battery capability assured after 5 years, and shall be obtainable in Europe from the fourth quarter of 2025.
Persevering with its dedication to decarbonization, Manitou Group is presenting a brand new idea in hydrogen-powered rotating telehandlers.
This MRT 2260 H2 prototype, which is a part of a low-carbon trajectory, bears witness to the OEM’s lively position within the improvement of hydrogen-powered electrical machines. The particular characteristic of this mannequin is that it’s powered by hydrogen through a gasoline cell, a know-how that ensures zero-emission operation.
This second prototype, based mostly on an electrical configuration, affords a lifting peak of twenty-two metres and a load capability of 6 tonnes. It incorporates a hydrogen-powered vary extender to provide the battery, providing a versatile, high-performance answer. Its design makes it simply detachable, because it replaces the diesel vary extender discovered on hybrid MRTs.
The group is presenting a brand new mannequin of Manitou MRT 4070 rotating telehandler. That is the best peak provided by the VISION+ vary of rotaries, with a peak capability of 40 meters and a load capability of seven tonnes. The outreach can be substantial, reaching as much as 27 meters. Powered by a 211 hp engine, this mannequin is provided with a CVT transmission.
The MRT 4070 is right for a variety of functions, together with industrial construction building, upkeep and renovation, masonry, roofing, and timber and metal body set up. Benefits embody quicker set-up instances, lowered journey distances, and optimized maneuverability on tight jobsites. Straightforward Step cabin entry makes entry and exit straightforward and protected, whereas distant management affords extra flexibility.
“The power to work in tight areas, mixed with a small footprint, means we will provide a 40-meter lifting peak mannequin that’s easy to make use of and arrange,” provides Boyer.
The VJR vary of vertical entry platforms (8m and 10m working heights) has had its management panel redesigned to optimize ergonomics and facilitate use in confined areas. Its electrical engine, appropriate for stabilized indoor and out of doors environments, reduces noise and environmental air pollution.
Past its operational efficiency, the VJR incorporates cutting-edge applied sciences to reinforce the consumer expertise. The Smartview system, for instance, supplies built-in diagnostics for simple upkeep, permitting real-time visualization of actions, battery life monitoring and an hour meter. Harness detection, in the meantime, enhances security by alerting the operator within the occasion of non-use. It’s also straightforward to move, because of fork pockets on both aspect of the turntable.
Manitou is strengthening its vary of electrical recharging options with a brand new exterior quick charger (30kWh), designed for optimum effectivity and prolonged compatibility with the MT vary (telehandlers) and the ME Raise electrical ranges (forklifts), guaranteeing specifically a 60% recharge in lower than an hour. This loader has been designed for simple transport and set up, because of its built-in lifting slings and fork pockets. This loader has been designed to resist offroad circumstances, for ease of use on building websites and prolonged service life. It meets the necessities of various markets with country-specific adapters. Obtainable in July 2025, this quick charger marks a major step ahead within the Group’s dedication to sensible, high-performance charging options.
Gehl followers can look ahead to a collection of two AL 330 & AL 350 articulated loaders, two monitor loaders and the R135 wheel loader, famend for his or her robustness and flexibility. Gehl merchandise provide excessive efficiency and simple upkeep. Ultimate for demanding functions on building websites, these skid steer loaders profit from a large alternative of attachments equivalent to crushers, graders or concrete mixing buckets.
The MHT 790 Stage V Mining mannequin is a flexible telehandler able to dealing with a variety of attachments, together with tire clamps and jacks, to service different mining gear. This allows the operator to carry out a wide range of duties with a single machine, boosting productiveness and profitability. Compact and strong, it’s superb for work in troublesome underground environments. Its streamlined form allows it to function as near the wall as attainable, providing better flexibility.
