Manitou: Focus on alternative energies and sustainable solutions
The Manitou group presented a wide range of solutions dedicated to construction and mining industry at bauma 2019. A 100% electric platform premiered as part of the new Oxygen label, devoted to alternative energies and more sustainable solutions, while maintaining a level of performance and cost-efficiency. Manitou's eligibility criteria for the Oxygen label includes use of alternative energy to diesel, which can be used on a continual or temporary basis in zero emission mode; reduction of environmental impact (emissions: C02, particulates, decibels); reduction in energy consumption (based on the standard UTAC cycle: handling, loading, road and idle); and reduction of TCO (a common criterion for all Manitou solutions).
The ATJ 200 e Oxygen platform is the group's first 100% electric all-terrain platform model. With a working height of up to 20 m for a maximum capacity of 230 kg, it provides the same performance as a diesel-powered model while reducing total cost of ownership for the user. Its hybrid version will be launched in 2020.
Under the Oxygen label, Manitou has worked on a hybrid prototype of the MRT 2550 model capable of operating in 100% electric mode. The zero emissions mode provides high versatility and complete flexibility on any type of work site (inside / outside / urban), day or night. Reduced fuel consumption and optimized maintenance due to the Stage V engine, reduces the user's TCO significantly.
The material handling division introduced its avant-garde concept-truck. Designed to accommodate an electric engine, the MT 625 eOxygen sports specifically designed lighting and incorporates blue elements to illustrate a non-polluting compact telehandler concept.
The high capacity MHT 12330 has a lifting height of 12 m, and ranges from 33 t with forks to 36 t with hook. Equipped with a 245 hp Deutz stage V engine, it also benefits from special protective covers on the work road lights. The controls and cabin are identical to the MT telehandler range, making them easier to use.
Another solution on display was a platform dedicated to underground mining applications. Designed to withstand impacts of up to 3 t, this attachment has reinforced safeguards, allowing up to three people (1,200 kg) to be accommodated and providing greater safety for operators working on high-risk sites.
Two models from Manitou's Compact Equipment range were the 1900R wheel loader and the 2150 RT track loader. In total, this range comprises of 16 models, including 11 wheel loaders and 5 compact track loaders. The MT range of telescopic loaders are available in 9 models with lifting heights ranging from 11 to 18 m and with engines compatible with Stage V standards. Changes have been made to the boom head of the ultra-compact MT 420 telehandler; now with a new, sleeker design, the forged boom head optimizes visibility over pallet-loading on the ground, improving operator safety during travel.
The latest range of MC rough-terrain forklifts is now available worldwide (except in North America), with lifting capacities of 1.8 t, 2.5 t and 3 t, suited to the constraints of load transportation on hard-to-access sites or in the event management sector.
