At the show, taking place 2-4 June in Maastricht, Netherlands, Manitou will exhibit a new electric forklift range, with the MC e model being the headliner of the show. The electric unit is designed to perform equally well outdoors and in sensitive indoor environments. The range cuts energy costs by over 60% and have maintenance costs compared to diesel, and will be available in Europe from the end of 2026.

First deliveries of Manitou’s MT 1440e and MT 1840e, the company’s two two high-reach electric telehandlers, are now entering the market. The pair offer zero emissions and are compliant with low emission zone requirements, and with no compromise on performance, said the company. They too will be represented at the show. 

There will also be a new 12m working height electric scissor lift on the stanfd. The final model in the company’s scissor lift range, is set to strengthen its growing electric MEWP range. 

In a addition at the show, Manitou is presenting a unified Customer Service Platform (CSP) dedicated to rental and key accounts - an online platform available in the DACH region, Benelux and UK. 

“In line with our Lift 2030 commitments these launches reflect our commitment to combining performance, sustainability and customer experience,” said the company.
