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 looking for Manitou Forklifts in and around Fife remember that two of the most important safety aspects are vehicle stability and control of the load. Statistics prove that machine tip-over's and falling loads are the two biggest causes of accidents and injuries.
