Our machines are ideally suited to the requirements of the armed forces in terms of military logistics (light, medium and heavy), aeronautical maintenance,
construction and maintenance, and storage and warehousing. Air-transportable, our machines can be shipped by air to the four corners of the globe.

Logistics operations (e.g. humanitarian, military - OPEX - or peacekeeping operations) involve the handling of large quantities of equipment, goods and materials. Thanks to Manitou machines, these operations can take place whatever the weather conditions, and whatever the state and inclination of the terrain.

For the construction and maintenance of buildings, premises and barracks for the army, you'll appreciate the quality of our M forklifts, MRT rotary telescopic handlers and MT construction telescopic handlers.

A large quantity of equipment is received and stored in the army's supply warehouses before being dispatched to the various units. Our ERS reach trucks, ES electric stackers and MSI and MI forklifts are particularly well suited to warehousing operations.
