Manitou Stop and Start

The Stop and Start automatically shuts down the engine and associated hour meter when machine is idling without hydraulic activity nor machine movement, based on time setting. It also provides a fast restart when the operator interact with the joystick and/or the throttle pedal. And you don't have to turn the key! This function has been designed to meet the needs of all handling/loading applications, always prioritizing user productivity.
Customer challenge

Idle regime without hydraulic activity nor machine movement accounts between 15% & 45% of total machine hour meter in construction and agriculture applications*. All these hours do not generate any value for customer..

Idle regime costs 10€ per hour in TCO.
