Manitou Double capacitive joysticks

As with the JSM on other Manitou machines, we replace the trigger with a capacitive sensor that automatically detects the operator's hands.

Customer challenge

In the MRT, you have two joysticks to control the boom and the rotation. But you have to pull a trigger on the back of it. When the operator has to stay a wild man in the cab while using the MRT, it can be tiring to have to constantly pull the trigger.

  • Increased comfort: less tiring for the operator. He does not need to keep pressing the trigger to use the joystick
  • Gain in performance
  • Safety gain: if he takes his hand off the joystick, it stops working
