The Manitou loader is a specialized piece of equipment designed for lifting, moving and storing various loads. Loading and unloading activities are an integral part of the technological process of construction, agriculture and municipal services, mining and transport industries. In order for the work to be completed quickly and efficiently, you need reliable equipment that can cope with tasks of any complexity.

Device

The truck market is saturated with domestic and foreign products. The leader in this segment is the Manitou forklift. The ability to replace external equipment expands the scope of application of the machine. The production of the unit is carried out in France, the beginning of activity dates back to 1958. The company's branches are deployed in Russia, Asia, South America and Europe.

The front loader consists of the following components and assemblies:

1. Chassis. The machine is equipped with three types of tires. They are designed to perform industrial, construction and agricultural work. High ground clearance allows loading activities on rough and swampy terrain.
2. Power point. Various models of the loader are equipped with diesel and electric engines. The motors provide sufficient power to lift loads to a height of up to 17 m.
3. Cabin. Panoramic glazing allows the operator to monitor the work site while moving forward and backward. The machine control is computerized, buttons and levers are located on the armrests. The air conditioner creates comfortable working conditions for the operator at any time of the year.
4. Working equipment. The carriage is adapted to attach standard and extended forks, a bale grab, a grain bucket and a special bucket. Replacement of options is carried out by the operator without outside assistance.
5. Hydraulic system. The pistons are located on the carriage, wheels and steering wheel. The pressure created by the pumps makes it possible to easily operate the machine under various operating conditions.
6. Electrical equipment and lighting. The loaders are equipped with powerful headlights located on the hood and roof. Floodlights provide sufficient illumination for work in conditions of limited visibility.

The equipment is maneuverable and compact. The use of wide tires allows it to be used on paving slabs and lawns. Due to the minimal pressure on the ground, the road surface does not suffer.

Testers: Manitou MLT-X 735-120 LSU telehandler

We periodically wrote about telescopic loaders. But, unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity to get acquainted with this technique in real life. It was decided to correct this mistake. True, builders near the editorial office are still wary of “telescopes” and do not take them into their equipment parks. In vain, of course. But this type of machine has been tested by agricultural enterprises. And we went to visit the official Manitou dealer to try out the telescopic loader in action.

First impressions

On the site for an impromptu test drive there are two red cars, which we had previously only seen in photos and videos. In person, a forklift is associated with a sort of stocky, strong man. Behind the equal-sized wheels there is practically no rear or front overhang. Between them on the left side is a cabin with a glass area similar to an aquarium. Next to the right is the engine compartment, below which the model name with an index is written in white letters.

At the rear of the machine there is a rotating towbar with a rollover protection system and electrical connectors for connecting power to trailers. Above the hood, the designers placed a cyclone-type air prefilter, which can be easily cleaned when dirty: according to the principle of operation, it is comparable to the dust collector flask of a vacuum cleaner. This extends the life of the Donaldson main air filter and reduces fuel consumption.

Let's go to the cabin. To get there, you need to stand on a step. It is equipped with a special hook to prevent the operator’s foot from slipping and causing injury.

The door consists of two halves and swings open 180°. To the right of it at the bottom you can see the hydraulic fluid level indicator, which allows you to check this parameter before starting work.

We sit in a chair that is adjusted to the weight and height of the operator. Before your eyes is a dashboard that allows you to monitor all the main indicators of the car. Below it is a 1-DIN radio with a USB input. There are two speakers located in the rear of the cabin. On the right side of the dashboard there is a sensor for the machine's rollover protection system in the event of lifting a load that weighs more than it should. But if the operator does not have enough distance (literally a few centimeters) to unload or lift the load to a given height, he can use the button to turn off the active safety system.

On the right side of the cab there is a joystick for controlling hydraulics, forward and backward movement of the loader and the boom. At the top of the cab there is a water level for the loader tilt indicator. A red button to stop the car in an emergency is located in a prominent place.

The upper part of the roof is glass and protected by bars. During hot sunny weather, the operator can use a translucent sunshade on both the windshield and the top. All MLT forklifts are equipped with air conditioning, so even if it's very hot outside, the cabin is comfortable.

“9% of Manitou's staff are engineers. They are engaged in new developments, modernization and improvement of the quality of loaders,” explains Ivan Martynushkin.

We start the engine. The cabin is quiet and the noise level is minimal: the engine compartment is soundproofed as standard. Compared to my diesel Mazda Bongo, it's just peace and quiet.

About operation

Under the hood is a Perkins 4-cylinder power unit. To start moving, the operator just needs to select a working gear, release the handbrake and switch the direction of movement with a three-position (forward-neutral-backward) key on the joystick. All that remains is to steer with your left hand (a “sloth” is provided), and in some places you need to apply the gas with your foot, and in others you need to slow down.

By the way, operating this “telescope” is even easier than operating a backhoe loader. On the right, near the glass, there is a driving mode switch. There are three of them: “steering” with the front axle, “crab steering” and “track to track”. Due to the correct selection and change of modes, the operator can maneuver in extremely cramped conditions.

It is noteworthy that when turning, no part of the car extends beyond the radius of the wheels.

Manitou MLT-X 735-120 LSU - all-terrain vehicle. Thanks to permanent all-wheel drive with automatic differential lock, powerful axles from Dana Spicer, 44 cm ground clearance and powerful lug tires, the car makes its way through almost any terrain.

The Manitou loader on the farm works from morning to evening, without stopping, and its main task is to service basic production processes. For example, during the sowing campaign, this means working with big bags, loading seeds or fertilizers. In the harvesting room - grain baling, cleaning and storing bales. In the off-season - work with fertilizers, any loading and unloading operations, construction and much more.

This means that a universal telescopic loader is not just a machine that can replace thousands of hours of work of other machines and mechanisms and human labor. This is a tool that increases the efficiency of the entire economy, optimizing the execution of each individual production process. If you like to keep up with the times, are looking for a high level of profitability and plan to grow your business, then buying a telehandler is the right step.

We offer you to buy loaders Manitou MLT-X 625-75H, Manitou MLT-X 732 95P, Manitou MLT-X 735 T LSU, Manitou MLT-X 737-130 PS, Manitou MLT-X 741-140 V, Manitou MLT-X 840, Manitou MLT-X 845-120 LSU, Manitou MLT-X 961, Manitou MLT-X 1035 LT LSU, Manitou MLT-X 1040, Manitou MC18.

The farm buys each piece of equipment for the sole purpose of speeding up the production process by facilitating human labor or replacing it with machine labor. The more work is performed per unit of time, the more efficiently the equipment functions, which means its payback period is reduced.

Undoubtedly, immediately after purchase, a telehandler becomes one of the most popular tools. Unlike other agricultural equipment, Manitou works all year round and can be used anywhere. However, not everyone knows how to further expand the scope of application of such technology. Replacing the attachment with a forklift instantly transforms it into a completely different work unit.

In crop production, attachments for working with bales are in great demand (grabs for rectangular and round bales, grips for packaged bales, etc.). In livestock farming, various types of attachments are used for working with silage and manure (silage fork with knife, feed dispenser, manure fork, etc.). A number of tools are also offered for construction purposes (construction bucket for heavy materials (sand, crushed stone), snow dumps, platform for lifting people, etc.).

Technical features of the Manitou telehandler

The use of technological progress significantly expands the capabilities of loading and unloading operations. Bulky and clumsy cranes are being replaced by maneuverable specialized equipment.

Manitou loaders: overview and characteristics

The Manitou loader stands out from the background of loaders from other manufacturers due to its technical characteristics and ergonomic design. The company has an excellent reputation as the best manufacturer of equipment for the agricultural and construction sectors.

Features of Manitou loaders

Over the past few years, the company has launched a completely new range of telehandlers, offering nine new models with improved engines and transmissions, but above all with an updated cab and greater comfort.

The new cabin is soundproofed. It competes with car sound insulation and improves all-round visibility thanks to the curved front windshield.

The seat in the new models was kindly provided by Grammer. All major controls are found on Manitou's reliable and proven JSM joystick and joystick switch, which is firmly mounted on an unattached armrest to the right of the driver.

The manufacturer's new idea has been successfully implemented in the latest models - to offer dual switch buttons (DSB), through which the operator can choose whether certain functions will be accessible from the switch on the armrest or on the dashboard for ease of use.

On the mechanical side, it is worth highlighting the power of the equipment, which comes from the 3.6-liter Deutz engine. It adjusts to three power levels, from 101 to 136 hp. Harnessing this power can be achieved through four transmission options available depending on the model.

A four-speed transmission is available on the 101-hp MLT 630-105 and MLT 733-105 models. The former has a lifting height of 6m and a lifting capacity of 3 tonnes, while the latter will take 6.9m and lift up to 3.3 tonnes. Both variants have a 104 l/min hydraulic pump with corresponding maximum speeds of 40 km/h and 32 km/h.

Next to consider are the MLT 635-130 PS+ and the MLT 737-130 PS+ models, which come with 130 HP oil pumps. and 150 l/min. They are rated to lift 3.5t and 3.7t to 6.08m and 6.9m respectively. The designation PS+ stands for PowershiftPlus transmission, which is characterized by six forward gears and three reverse gear options. The system is controlled either by the operator selecting gear via a joystick, or automatically using double switch buttons.

The main pride of the manufacturer can be considered the MLT 630-105 models, the name of which contains the designation V CP. This means they are equipped with M-Variosift transmission. This is a two-speed hydrostatic transmission, the first gear of which provides silent running between 0-18 km/h, and the second gear for running between 0 and 40 km.

Manitou loaders: review of models and prices

Manitou's history dates back to 1958. It was during this period that Manitou Marcel, the founder of the company, presented the world with his first invention, the design of which consisted of a lifting mast and an agricultural tractor. It was a Manitou heavy duty loader. For 20 years this was the only, but very popular model. Today, the family includes more than 320 models of loading machines, which include absolutely unique machines that have no analogues throughout the world.

A few words about the company

Telehandler Manitou MLT-X-735 120 LSU

Thanks to its small dimensions, panoramic glazing and simple control system, the most comfortable working conditions for the operator are created. The machine is compatible with various hanging accessories, which increase the scope of application of special equipment.

Manitou MLT-X 735 T LSU Series Telehandler

offers a wide range of products (from compact loaders to high-altitude equipment and machines designed for heavy loads). The main advantage of the MLT-X series is its versatility. This loader is capable of handling tasks that previously required two units of equipment. It can be used for loading feed (using a special drop-down bucket) or for filling a feed mixer. The traction force of the MANITOU telehandler is sufficient to transport the trailer to the job site and load it without the use of any other equipment.

Specialists from the MANITOU design bureau have achieved a reduction in the time required to perform standard household work and increased equipment safety. LSU (Load Sensing Ultra) technology allows you to quickly and accurately perform multiple movements simultaneously. Taking into account all of the above, we can safely say that the MLT-X series loaders of the MANISCOPIC range are the true standard of telescopic loaders designed for agricultural work.

The main advantages of MANITOU telehandlers:

• tractive effort

Traction force is an important criterion for choosing equipment, particularly in agricultural sectors. If you regularly need to tow a loaded or empty trailer, pull out a stuck vehicle, or simply haul silage, manure, dirt or snow, you'll appreciate the power and towing power of the Manitou.

• increased cross-country ability

All-terrain vehicles manufactured by Manitou have high ground clearance, which allows you to overcome various obstacles (road potholes, sidewalks, etc.) and move over rough terrain. 4 driving wheels with wide tires develop the traction force necessary to move loads on loose and difficult ground (dirt, sand, grass, stones, etc.). Based on the developments of Manitou engineers, vehicles have been produced with significant traction force, which is ensured by optimizing engine torque with an optimal power-to-weight ratio, even weight distribution on both axles and low ground pressure.

• all-wheel drive and three steering modes

All Manitou vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive have increased cross-country ability. Combined with high ground clearance, they allow you to cope with difficult situations while maintaining the performance of the machine.

• Joystick Switch & Move (JSM)

Joystick Shift and Move (JSM) is standard on the MLT, MT and MHT ranges. It allows you to control the hydraulic movements of the boom with one hand, as well as engage the forward and reverse movements of the loader. This means you can always keep one hand on the wheel and get the job done more efficiently without the strain of a traditional joystick, as the JSM joystick is a true extension of the operator's hand.

• low fuel consumption
• maneuverability
• reversible fan
• ease of use
• compactness
