The spacious cabin of the Manitou MBL backhoe loader is equipped with the best-in-class operator seat with a head– and an armrest, an audio system, smooth adjustable levers, and tilt, all of which help reduce operator fatigue and stress. Grab rails are conveniently placed to make access to the cabin easier. Ergonomically placed switches, levers, and control clusters with large, easy-to-read indicators and warnings, a battery cut-off switch provided as standard to protect against electrical fires and theft when the machine is not in use, and an emergency cut-off switch enhance operator productivity without compromising on safety.

The Manitou MBL backhoe is designed for multi-application functionalities, which help deliver higher uptime and low maintenance. Additional reinforcements on boom and dipper tubes add extra strength, making the machine more reliable. The in-built Loader Locking Strut enhances safety during idle position and maintenance work. The powerful and dual delivery pump unique Unloader Controlled Hydraulics (UCH) are engineered to optimize engine power and increase fuel efficiency. With optimum Total Cost of Ownership, the customers get better Return on Investment (RoI) in the lowest possible time.

The MBL backhoe loader comes with Manitou standard telematics called Easy Manager, which is now available by default in all the MBLs. The operator can have a digital twin of his machine on his smartphone with MyManitou App, enabling customers to plan their Manitou fleet better and optimize their business. They can access live machine information like total running hours, fuel consumption, operational functions, track, trace, and control their machine usage, protect their equipment from unauthorized usage, and get real-time updates. These features guarantee lower Total Cost of Operations and higher productivity, maximizing lifetime customer value.

After-sales support is a priority, and Manitou offers a standard extended warranty of 2 years or 4000 hours for the MBL series.
