Manitou enhances CSR

Manitou Group is launching a new version of its website reduce-program.com – which focuses on helping machine users improve productivity and safety and reduce environmental impact.

Launched in 2013, Manitou Group's REDUCE site has been expanded with a wide range of features. The group has developed three components – REDUCE Fuel, REDUCE TCO, and REDUCE Risks.

The website has improved readability and contains accident prevention posters, maintenance documents, operating instructions, and a media library of 300 videos explaining how to start and maintain a machine, mount attachments etc.

Aude Brézac, Manitou Group's CSR manager, added: “A sound knowledge of the machine and the attachments is needed in order to take charge of the equipment and reduce risks. With REDUCE Risks, we provide users of the site with teaching materials to optimise their driving, paying particular attention to their safety. This new site demonstrates our group's desire to continue to put CSR at the centre of our concerns.”

The second key development concerns the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) calculators.

To continually provide the user with better information about fuel consumption and optimisation, the REDUCE Fuel calculator is also integrated into the new platform.
