The most common myths about Manitou telescopic handlers
Manitou telescopic handlers are well-deserved leaders in the world of specialised equipment. They combine power, manoeuvrability and versatility, making them indispensable for many industries. However, there are many myths that can create a misconception about these machines. Let's take a look at the most common ones and debunk them!
Myth 1: Telescopic handlers are only
needed in agriculture
The truth: Although Manitou is widely used
in the agricultural sector, this equipment is versatile. Telescopic handlers
are successfully used in many other industries:
- In construction - for transporting
materials, working at height and installation work.
- In logistics - for warehouses and
transport hubs.
- In industry - for moving heavy loads.
Myth 2: One forklift cannot replace other
equipment
Reality: Thanks to a wide range of
attachments, a single Manitou telehandler can perform a variety of tasks:
- Pallet forks for stacking goods.
- A bucket for handling bulk materials.
- A crane beam for lifting heavy
structures.
- Platform (cradle) - for working at
height.
Thus, Manitou replaces several types of
equipment at once, which reduces the cost of the machine fleet.
Myth 3: Manitou maintenance is too
expensive
Reality: The use of original spare parts
and regular maintenance significantly extend the service life of the equipment.
Tekhno-Dvir offers:
- Official Manitou service centre in
Ukraine.
- On-site service for quick on-site
repairs.
- Large selection of original spare parts
in our warehouse stores.
Proper maintenance ensures that the
forklift will last for many years without significant costs.
Myth 4: Telescopic handlers are difficult
to operate
Reality: Manitou telehandlers are equipped
with modern control systems that make operation as easy as possible:
- Comfortable cab with ergonomic controls.
- Hydrostatic transmission for smooth
driving.
- Electronic load stabilisation and
control systems.
Many models have automatic modes of
operation, which greatly simplifies operation even for a novice operator.
Myth 5: A telehandler means high fuel
costs
Reality: Modern Manitou models are
equipped with fuel-efficient engines that deliver high performance with low
fuel consumption. Plus, the Eco Mode system helps reduce fuel costs without
sacrificing power.
Manitou telescopic handlers are machines
that not only simplify workflows, but also help to optimise equipment costs.
