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 looking for Manitou Forklifts in and around Sussex it is worth knowing that safety features are not only important for health and safety reasons but there is also a potential cost savings in reduced insurance premiums and in the amount of damage to goods and property.
