Manitou Joystick Switch and Move (JSM)

An ergonomic single joystick controls boom functions, travel speed, FNR direction, and gear change (depending on transmission).
Customer challenge

Loading & handling productivity can be jeopardized during the day by fatigue associated with repetitive hydraulic movements.

Operator fatigue is also generated on the right hand by the necessity to grab the joystick for long periods of time.

  • Ergonomics: Reduces muscular fatigue thanks to a computer mouse-type shape. 
  • Control: Facilitates the handling of loads and optimizes telehandler performance with intuitive control.
  • Safety: Increases safety by integrating FNR function (always one hand on the steering wheel).
