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 investigating Manitou Forklifts in and around Bristol be aware that electric forklifts are not good for climbing ramps and if you have steep ramps you are much better off with an internal combustion gas or diesel forklift truck.
