When time and productivity is of the essence in farming activities, Manitou has a solution to make material handling simpler, faster and safer.

To complement an already extensive range of telehandlers, forklifts and skid steer loaders, Manitou has launched two new, versatile job site partners for loading and unloading materials: the MXT840 telehandler and the 1340R skid steer loader. These products have been designed and developed with emerging markets in mind as a cost-effective partner to your operations.

The essence of the Manitou brand is safety, versatility, efficiency and manoeuvrability – the core of what is required on-site in today’s fast-paced market sectors; whether it’s the time-pressured construction site, the versatile tasks on the farm or the tight spaces in warehousing and logistical operations.

 The MXT 840 is fitted with three steering modes: 2-wheel steering, 4-wheel steering and crab steering. With its ground clearance of 39 cm, this telehandler is perfectly suited for the farm’s rough terrain. The transmission consists of a torque converter gearbox, while power comes from a 95hp, Stage 3A motor. The robust frame and boom has a reach of up to 8 meters and capacity of up to 4 tons and is therefore ideal for medium height tasks which need to be carried out.

Manitou offers an array of specialised attachments for farming activities such as forks, bale handlers, various buckets and big bag handlers. With a quick change of attachments, one machine has the capability of performing many functions thereby maximising production at a reduced cost.

Manitou’s value packages expand beyond just equipment. Extendable warranty offers and maintenance contacts are available to suit your needs to ensure that your equipment is always in an optimal state of maintenance and repair costs are kept to a minimum. With Manitou’s EASY MANAGER, you can monitor your machine(s) in real-time. By collecting data and converting it into valuable information, you can manage your day to day operations safely and accurately. With all your information available at your fingertips, you can focus on working smarter, not harder!
