One day in 1957, Marcel Braud, the founder of Manitou, thought up the principle of an original device by turning around the shape of a farm tractor and adding to it a lifting mast and hydraulic steering?
Thus the world's first rough-terrain forklift-truck was born. It proved the company's success and led to it becoming world famous. Manitou now has a presence in over 120 countries.
Whilst you are looking for Manitou Forklifts in and around Bridgend you might like to be aware that wherever possible pedestrians should be segregated from forklift traffic in order to minimise the risk of the two coming into contact and causing an accident.
