Our handling solutions for Emergency handling and temporary infrastructures
In a crisis situation, every minute counts. To accommodate populations, coordinate rescue operations or store equipment, you need to be able to build quickly, well and often without any prior infrastructure. Manitou offers a concrete response to these needs, to facilitate the rapid installation and construction of temporary structures, thanks to dedicated handling machines, on all types of terrain.
Prepare, move, build: the foundations of effective deployment
Setting up an operational base, erecting an aid station or stabilizing terrain demands power, agility and reliability. The MT, MHT and MRT all-terrain telescopic handlers meet these requirements with great precision. They negotiate unstable areas, maneuver in confined spaces, and lift and position heavy loads, without compromising the safety of those working in the field.
Compatibility with a wide range of accessories - forks, buckets, jibs, gondolas, material baskets - maximizes versatility. This equipment can be used to handle prefabricated modules, logistics equipment, sandbags or steel reinforcements, and to carry out assembly operations with speed and precision.
Save time from the moment you arrive on site
Our machines are designed for immediate use. Transportable by truck or trailer, they are easy to set up and operate. This makes all the difference when it comes to setting up a command center, a first-aid post or a temporary shelter in the first hours after a disaster.
The electric models - MT e, MRT e - meet the most demanding requirements of sensitive environments: silent operation, zero emissions, perfect integration in urban areas or close to people.
One machine, many uses
Mobilizing a compact yet high-performance fleet is essential in emergency situations. Thanks to their multifunctional design, Manitou machines have the advantage of being able to carry out several tasks with a single machine: handling, lifting, moving loads, assisting in the assembly of structures.
This considerably reduces logistical requirements, facilitates on-site coordination, and increases overall responsiveness. Articulated wheel loaders and tracked loaders - MLA, SSL, CTL ranges - reinforce this capacity for more specific missions: land levelling, backfilling, maintenance of temporary access, or stabilization work.
Typical example: deployment of a field hospital
As part of an emergency mission on a flooded site, the teams had to quickly install a field hospital. An MRT equipped with a materials basket is used to unload and position the prefabricated modules, while a CTL loader is used to prepare and level the site.
An MT telescopic handler completes the operation by handling the medical equipment.
This type of organization makes it possible to get a site up and running in just a few hours, and to erect temporary buildings with a minimum of machinery and maneuvering .
