Manitou showcases record range of new products at Bauma

The Manitou Group's presentation at Bauma in Munich showed a record number of new products, including four new electric aerial platforms, four new medium-height telehandlers, two electric rotary telehandlers and a fixed electric telehandler.

To complement its range of compact telehandlers, Manitou launched its first 100% electric model in the product category, the MT 625e. The MT 625e is powered by a 25 or 33 kWh lithium-ion battery, has a lifting capacity of 2.5 tons and reaches up to 30 meters in height.

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 alerts the operator and those on the construction site 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+ rotary telehandlers.

The MRT 2260e and MRT 2660e have a payload of 6 tons and a lift height of 72 and 85 feet respectively. A 700V/65 kWh lithium-ion battery is supplied as standard. Customers can purchase a second battery to extend range by an additional four hours. There is also a hybrid version of the models equipped with a range extender.
