Crab stroke

The principle of operation of the Manitou telescopic handler crab stroke

The crab stroke is designed to move the telescopic handler in small rooms where there is a lack of free space.

When performing a crab stroke, the Manitou telescopic handler performs a sideways movement, for which it is necessary to turn both pairs of wheels in one direction. The wheels must be the same size.

This is a very easy move to perform and does not require any additional special knowledge.

We recommend that you choose a forklift model with this feature right away, as it makes it easier to control, maneuver and improve efficiency.
