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.
While trying to find Manitou Forklifts in and around Suffolk it might help you to know that Atlet has a comprehensive range of forklift trucks based on six basic chassis types. This reduces to a minimum the number of components in use and simplifies servicing and repairs.
