kind of wonder in what manners the Original poster expected as far as answers to "equal to what?"
Manitou and JLG (and a couple of other brands) also makes a few '-compact- telehandlers'. they all have some things in common and some things not common, and I often think anyone looking at one of these compact telehandler might consider a 'truck mounted' brand (Piggyback, spyder, teledyne, moffett) as able to do the same job most often, and may be even easier to get from site to site.

In my (not always) humble opinion, no one is answering his question because no one understands what he is asking for, which sounds to me like he wants an expert opinion of how apples compare to oranges with information about which orange is an apple.
I hope we have either answered his concern, or gotten to a spot we can clarify the question.

There is a Terex plant here in Rock HIll SC that produces some of these, and I have, in the past, been the guy that took care of their industrial trucks. (in the plant they used sit down counterbalanced forklifts). I have also worked on a number of both compact and regular telehandlers.
