The Manitou MT Series telehandlers are built to move heavy, bulky loads across construction sites, industrial facilities, and agricultural operations. As one of Manitou’s four dedicated construction telehandler lines, the range offers lift heights from 4 to 18 meters and lifting capacities from 1,000 to 33,000 kg, making it easy to match a machine to the exact job at hand.
Depending on the specific model, MT Series machines combine compact dimensions for tight-space maneuverability with the power and stability needed to lift heavier loads to greater heights. Standard features typically include an ergonomic operator cab, precise hydraulic controls, and multiple steering modes, making these machines equally at home on a construction site or a warehouse yard.

1. All-Terrain 4-Wheel Drive & Steering
Four-wheel drive combined with multiple steering modes (2WD, 4WD, crab steering) delivers excellent traction and a tight turning radius, even on rough or uneven job sites.
2. High-Performance Load Charts
Precisely engineered lift capacity charts give operators a clear, reliable working envelope across masonry, framing, roofing, structural work, and renovation projects.
3. Ergonomic Operator Cab
A spacious, panoramic cab with intuitive joystick controls reduces operator fatigue and improves visibility, supporting safer, more productive shifts.
4. Simultaneous Lift & Extend
Boom lift and extension functions work together smoothly, speeding up cycle times and improving overall jobsite efficiency.
5. Easy Maintenance Access
A hinged engine cover and accessible daily check points keep routine maintenance quick and straightforward, minimizing downtime.
