Manitou showcases record range of new products at Bauma

Manitou Group’s display at Bauma in Munich showcased a record number of new products, including four new electric aerial work platforms, four new mid-height telehandlers, two electric rotating telehandlers and a fixed electric telehandler. Adding to its range of compact telehandlers, Manitou launched its first 100% electric model in the product category, the MT 625e. Powered by a 25- or 33-kWh lithium-ion battery, the MT 625e has a 2.5-ton lift capacity and reaches up to 19.7 feet high. Manitou says the electric telehandler offers the same performance as its diesel counterpart with 56% less maintenance. The MT 625e shares the same features as other models in Manitou’s compact telehandler range, including the Safety Pack that automatically warns the operator and those on the jobsite of unsafe operations and the intuitive Harmony display that provides real-time usage and maintenance information. Manitou also introduced electric versions of two of its VISION+ rotating telehandlers. The MRT 2260e and MRT 2660e have a loading capacity of 6 tons and a lifting height of 72 and 85 feet, respectively. A 700V/65 kWh lithium-ion battery comes standard. Customers can purchase a second battery to boost the range by an additional four hours. A hybrid version of the models equipped with a range extender is also available.
