Manitou forklifts, mobile elevating work platform launch in U.S.

Manitou North America (Booth B2457) has announced three newly launched straight-mast forklifts and a telescopic work platform—all now available in the United States.

North American offerings include 14 electric and internal combustion models, with plans to expand by another 18 models – including diesel options – with capacities from 3,000 to 22,000 pounds. Later this year, Manitou will add a 15,000-pound LPG unit and electric models that lift loads up to 10,000 pounds.

“As we offer new models in North America, we also continue to grow our dealer network,” said Chris Mathijs, director of sales. “We are also highlighting our MEWP mobile elevating work platform, available for the first time in an electric model. It reaches a 49-foot working height, and includes exceptional reach, allowing the platform to extend up and over obstacles.”
