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.
If you are looking for Manitou Forklifts in and around Cheshire it is worth considering that a well maintained diesel forklift will operate efficiently with few problems. They are usually easier to maintain than gas trucks; and you can often get a used diesel forklift for less than an LPG powered forklift of similar size and condition.
