MANITOU, leader mondial de la manutention tout-terrain

This new, unique patented concept benefits from Manitou's know-how already available in over 100,000 Maniscopics.  With this new machine, Manitou really creates an as yet non-existent product family combining handling and extraction functions.  Hence its name, which is a contraction of the trade name MANITOU the English word backhoe.

Material Handling  With its telescopic  boom at the front of the machine, the MANIHOE provides a lifting height and forward reach unmatched by traditional machines.  The quick attachment mounting interface enables professionals to change attachments without wasting time, and use the majority of attachments offered by MANITOU (forks, four-in-one bucket, etc).

Earthmoving/Off Site Handling  The MANIHOE can do everything that a backhoe normally does.   The rear shovel can be used for trench digging, excavation or drainage work, like a backhoe.  The front telescopic boom outperforms a traditional backhoe, while making many on-site task easier:

driving over obstacles, such as trenches, low alls or hedges; loading tippers; laying ducts or cables in trenches; loading a truck down below.
