Manitou launches Privilege range
ANCENIS, France
Manitou BF has introduced the MT Privilege range of telehandlers with lift heights from 14 to 18 metres (45.9 to 59.1 feet).

Designed for the construction sector, the range consists of the MT1436, MT1440 and MT1840 models. According to Vertikal.net, the new machines have improved stability with a maximum of 1.2 tonnes (2,645.5lbs) carried using stabilisers.

Buyers can choose between a conventional hydrostatic transmission and a "soft shift" torque converter which Manitou claims reduces material loss when starting.
