Manitou has launched its “Oxygen” low emissions platform range with four new electric platform models designed for greater maneuvrability and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
The 200 ATJe rough-terrain platform with a working height of 20 metres comes with four-wheel steer and a basket that can now take 250 kg of load, 30 kg more than on the two-wheel drive version.
According to the manufacturer, the total cost of ownership (TCO) has been reduced with an almost 50% decrease in maintenance costs compared to the internal combustion version.
The range of rough-terrain electric telehandlers welcomes two models, the 160 ATJe and 180 ATJe. With a working height of 16 metres and 18 metres respectively, these platforms also see their capacity increased by 50 kg allowing them to take a total weight of 250 kg.
There is also a second version named 160 ATJ+ e, with capacity significantly increased to 400 kg.
The 160, 180 and 200 ATJe models also come with a Safety Pack, protecting the operator and the site teams, as well as alerting fleet managers to any high-risk behavior.
This includes forgotten harness detection and detection of obstacles around the machine’s chassis while a “lighting” pack consisting of several lights is positioned on the platform to help with safe loading and unloading.
“With all these new products, Manitou Group is the first manufacturer to have a range of 100% electric rough-terrain platforms from 16m to 20m,” said Arnaud Boyer, VP of Marketing & Product Development.
“The acceleration of our electric development allows us to now offer low-emission solutions across our platform ranges, as well as on our telehandlers. We will continue to extend this energy to other ranges in accordance with the objectives of our CSR roadmap,” he added.
