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 researching Manitou Forklifts in and around Cambridgeshire it might be worth considering that if your forklift is in use eight hours a day; or you have pallet shelving and a large warehouse then a cheap used/second-hand forklift will probably not be the best investment.
