Our machines for Electrical engineering
The transition to cleaner, quieter worksites is no longer an option: it's an imperative. At Manitou, we are committed to providing electric solutions that combine performance, autonomy and compliance with the strictest environmental standards. With our electric construction machines, we enable you to meet today's industry challenges, while anticipating those of tomorrow.
Emission-free operation, even in the most sensitive environments
Construction sites in dense urban areas, indoor sites, or areas subject to emissions restrictions require machines capable of operating without generating exhaust fumes.
Our electric telescopic handlers, aerial work platforms and other zero-emission guarantee continuous productivity, with no noise nuisance and no discharge of CO₂, nitrogen oxides or fine particles. This equipment is the ideal solution for working in shopping centers, warehouses, underground, night-time worksites or in low-emission zones (LEZ / ZEF).
Their low noise levels also promote communication on the worksite, contributing directly to the working comfort of teams, as well as their safety.
Autonomy and flexibility designed for the field
With a range that can cover a full day's use, and flexible recharging systems, our electric machines can adapt to all site rhythms and organizations. Thanks to the on-board charging system, you can recharge your equipment using a simple mains socket.
Depending on the model, our machines are compatible with different electrical voltages and intensities:
- Voltages: 110V, 220V or 380V
- Current ratings: 16A, 32A or 63A
This versatility guarantees charging adapted to your existing infrastructure.
Estimated recharging time on a 32A socket:
- MT 625e: approx. 4 hours
- MRT 2260e : approx. 3 hours
- 160 AJTe : approx. 8 hours
Compatibility with fast chargers means you can fully recharge your compatible machines in just two hours. This flexibility maximizes machine utilization, even on sites with limited infrastructure.
Lower operating costs, without compromising performance
Manitou electric machines offer performance equivalent to that of combustion-powered models, while significantly reducing operating costs.
Equipped with robust, high-performance lithium-ion or lead-acid traction batteries, they minimize downtime and ensure optimum availability on site.
Why choose a lithium-ion battery? (telescopic handlers and forklift trucks)
- Simplified maintenance: fewer interventions required
- Enhanced robustness: designed to last in demanding environments
- Resistance to temperature variations: reliable operation whatever the conditions
- Partial recharging possible: flexibility and speed of recharging
Why choose a lead battery? (aerial work platforms)
- Economical: low replacement costs.
- Low environmental impact: 98% recyclability rate, a non-polluting choice.
- Long service life: batteries offer 1500 cycles*.
*1 cycle = 1 charge
What's more, savings on energy consumption can reach up to 75% compared with diesel solutions, enabling a rapid return on investment.
Comprehensive coverage for lasting peace of mind
Safety and reliability first and foremost
Designed to withstand the most demanding conditions, our electric machines feature enhanced safety, with the battery structure protected against shock, moisture and dust.
This robustness translates into higher equipment availability, less maintenance, and reduced risks for operators and working environments.
