Technology and breadth of the Manitou handlers
Off-road forklift trucks, compact telescopic handlers and a great range for meeting all requirements plus telehandlers with articulated frames for specific moving coming to EIMA International by the manufacturer Manitou.
The MC 18-2/4 is a compact all-terrain forklift with a 1,450 mm width, length of 2,950 mm and the height of less than 2 meters for the Buggy version with a turning radius down to 2,585 mm which facilitates maneuvers in small spaces. The width of the aisle for the pallet 1000 x 1200, crossways for the pallet is 1000 x 1200 only 4,401 mm. This new forklift is equipped with a front axle and a +/-7° oscillating rear axle for adapting the machine to the configuration of the terrain. Another asset of the MC 18-4 model is the option for changing from 2 to 4 WD while moving or stopped. When going to 2 WD the operator can reach a speed of 25 km/h for increasing productivity. On the front of fuel consumption the machine shows a 12.5% reduction with the forklift in movement. Another strong point for the MC 18-4 is clearance of 30 cm to enhance versatility on all types of terrain for facilitating overcoming obstacles. Other structural innovations introduced by Manitou is a panoramic roof of glass ex ISO 6055 safety standard formed by two tempered glass panels separated by a film which protects the operator against any falling object and ensures excellent vision for during lifting and locating the hood behind the seat. This solution makes it easier to gain access to the engine compartment for a possible check with no need to raise the cab or use specific devices. Worthy of note is the architecture of the double layer engine hood, the first is rigid and greatly resistant and the second is more flexible insulation thanks to which the engine noise is down to 79 dB in motion.
The MLT 730-115 V/CP is a compact Telehandler with lift capacity of 3 tons and a 7 m lift height of the boom. The transmission is a hydrostatic M-Varioshift with forward and reverse gears and the engine is a 3.6 liter 116/85 kW Deutz TDC on a transverse mount redesigned to adapt to the cab and transmission. This move allowed Manitou built a more compact machine and make access to the engine compartment easier. The MLT 730-115 V/CP is equipped with an Easy Connect System for decompressing the auxiliary hydraulics simply by pressing a button to then deploy hydraulic connections for running device such as pliers for bales or the bucket claw. This model comes with yet another serious design feature of soundproofing with insulation taking the noise in the cab down to 74 dB.
MLA-T 533-145 V. Is a telehandler marketed for farmers who prefer the traditional type of articulated shovel without giving up the advantages of a telescopic extension. This new articulated handler is built with a favorable combination of weight, power, the lift height of the shovel and maximum lift capacity at 8430 kg/143 Hp/5.2 metri/3300 kg respectively. The machine can be operated in two modes: movement when precise driving is needed and on the road when the driver when the driver must apply quick reactions. Another beneficial characteristic of this model is maneuverability made possible by 4 WD, a +/- 9,5° oscillating rear axle, limited slip of both axles and also 39 ground clearance and articulation from only 88° and a turning radius of only 4.28 meters.
