Manitou launches five new compact electric models

THE TRUCKS are designed for para-industrial and para-agricultural applications (handling bricks, processed wood, viticulture, potato cultivation, etc.). With load capacities ranging from 1.6 to 3 t, these new models come in two possible configurations, with three and four wheels, and are equipped with a 76.8 V lithium-ion battery.

Maximum lifting height is up to 6.5 m. Among the five new models, the ME 425 LD LIFT boasts a 56% lower total cost of ownership than the MI 25 D diesel forklift. These figures take into account maintenance costs, energy consumption and component durability. The first models will be distributed in Europe from September 2024 throughout the Manitou dealer network.

Manitou Group offers a standard five-year warranty on all its lithium batteries.

All ME LIFT machines are IPX4-rated and therefore rainproof, ensuring uninterrupted outdoor use. The easy-to-activate electric parking brake ensures that the machine remains stable on ramps and slopes, preventing accidental or unintentional movement.

ME LIFT trucks are fully equipped with LED lighting and working lights. Optional blue lights, additional work lights and red warning lines can also be added around the machine for pedestrian safety.
