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.
When researching Manitou Forklifts in and around Dumfies & Galloway be aware that a stand-on forklift can be much more convenient if the operator is undertaking tasks which mean they have to get on and off the forklift throughout their shift.
