Manitou Group will have many innovations to present during bauma 2025, with a focus on electric machines with zero emission. It will be exhibiting around 25 machines from the Manitou and GEHL brands.
Manitou Group is firmly committed to reducing carbon emissions and is positioning itself as a key player in decarbonization, working actively on the development of electric and hydrogen-powered machines.
After presenting an initial prototype of a fixed telehandler with an 18-metre lifting height and 4-tonne load capacity in December 2022, Manitou is taking another step forward. At Bauma 2025, a second telehandler prototype concept will be unveiled, powered by green hydrogen via a fuel cell, guaranteeing a zero-emission solution.
Manitou takes another step forward in its drive to reduce emissions with the presentation of two electric models of high-lift telehandlers that are entirely zero-emission. These high-performance machines, which comply with Low Emission Zone (LEZ) regulations, offer a full day’s working autonomy. They are also designed for operator comfort, with a new cab offering improved visibility over current models and low noise levels.
Rotative telehandler for high lifting
Manitou expands its range of solutions for working at height with a new rotating telehandler MRT designed for high-rise lifts. Offering a lifting height of over 30 meters and engine power of 175 hp, this MRT is ideal for carpenters, general contractors, rental companies and masons.
It is ideally suited to applications in maintenance and restoration, masonry, roofing, scaffolding, concrete and formwork, as well as marine work. Its benefits include faster positioning and fewer movements, high capacity combined with the ability to work in very tight site conditions, increased mobility on site, reduced crane rental costs and operator expenses, all with a smaller footprint than a traditional crane.
Manitou Group offers a wide range of attachments to answer every need, such as the new pruning grapple, dedicated to MRT 2660 e. Made of high-strength steel, this solution increases efficiency and productivity for pruning. Its robust technology ensures reduced wear and maintenance, while its powerful rotation allows perfect adaptation to the tree. The grapple provides a powerful grip for a secure hold of harvested trunks and branches, allowing trees to be felled safely and branches up to 750 mm in diameter to be cut.
Other attachments will be also showcased such as the 360° rotative forks and a new 6t winch, with an increased speed compared to the previous models.
