If you’re looking for a rotating telehandler in the North American market, Maritou’s introduction of three new models to its already existing MRT series is great news for you. The MRT 2470, MRT 3050 and MRT 1840 bring the full series to six models to choose from in order to handle up to 15,400 pounds of capacity with a reach of up to 103 feet and 4 inches.

“After launching our new rotating telehandler models to the European market earlier in 2017, we began collaborating with our Italian, European and North American teams to develop machines that would meet the American market expectations. Extensive research and development allowed us to develop superior telehandlers that can be used in numerous applications in North America."

Overview
Manitou’s new rotating telehandlers fit the performance and safety standards Manitou customers have come to expect in this three-in-one machine. For the contractor, they save time, money and space on the jobsite. One piece of equipment that can be used in three different modes - telehandler, winch and platform - means more productivity with lower equipment, maintenance and labor costs. Add on the all-terrain capability and numerous attachment options, and these machines are a versatile go-to solution on any jobsite.
Features
Manitou MRT Series Privilege Plus rotating telehandlers come standard with loads of features, including 360 degree cab and boom rotation, frame leveling, fully enclosed cabs, remote control operation, four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering. Another benefit is the industry exclusive E-RECO system that will detect an attachment and adapt the load chart accordingly. The Manitou MRT 3050 Privilege Plus rotating telehandler is equipped with the longest stabilizers on the market, extending 20 feet 6 inches. The stabilizers have pin-mounted strain gauges that determine ground contact and position sensors to adapt the load chart.
Specs
The Manitou MRT 3050 has a maximum load capacity of 11,000 pounds, lift height of 97 feet 9 inches and forward reach of 84 feet 8 inches. Pushing the limits in lift and weight capacity, the Manitou MRT 2470 Privilege Plus not only has the most weight capacity in the product line, it is the highest in the market at 15,400 pounds. The Manitou MRT 2470 has a maximum lift height of 81 feet 4 inches and forward reach of 63 feet 3 inches.
