Manitou, a trusted name in heavy equipment, has recently launched its latest products in the North American Market. The TMM 45 rear-wheel steer and the TMM 45-4W four-way steer models are two new truck-mounted forklifts designed with vertical masts. These forklifts offer the best of both worlds, making them an ideal choice for many businesses.
Brian Rabe, the product marketing manager for Manitou North America, stated, “The new TMM 45 and TMM 45-4W four-way truck mounted forklifts deliver the best of both worlds: easy and effective to mount to a variety of truck styles, and a robust and durable design to handle all types of materials.” The forklifts are highly versatile and are critical in providing drivers with a safe and effective tool to deliver materials.
The new units boast impressive specs. They are rough terrain forklifts rated for a load capacity of 4,500 pounds, which makes them perfect for a multitude of tasks. Additionally, they feature numerous heavy-duty components such as rough terrain masts, chassis, and tires. Each forklift model also provides impressive lift heights with either a 63-inch or 96-inch outreach, making one-side loading or unloading on truck beds simple and safe.
The Manitou TMM models’ design includes a strong extending linkage that provides a 40-inch outreach, maximizing efficiency. Adding telescopic forks to the standard package allows for an additional 31 inches of reach. Standard stabilizers are included to ensure operators can efficiently handle the maximum lift capacity even under any condition. These units are compact, stable, and blend high-capacity capabilities with an impressive short rear overhang when mounted on a truck.
Apart from its outstanding specs, these units come with various standard features and options. Work lights, fork positioners, long load supports, and telescopic fork extensions are only a few of these options. Manitou’s operator’s station is designed with the operator’s comfort in mind. It features ergonomic controls, a comfortable seat, and excellent visibility of the working area, forks, and the ground. The mast is intelligently designed, providing excellent visibility to the load, and is easily adjustable from side to side and forward to back, providing ease of use and optimal load placements.
In conclusion, the latest TMM 45 and TMM 45-4W four-way truck-mounted forklifts from Manitou will set new standards in the industry. This forklift is a masterpiece of versatility, strength, and compactness. It delivers both impressive capacity capabilities while providing many features that make it both easy and comfortable to use.
