Our innovation Intelligent Hydraulics

Manitou has developed several Intelligent Hydraulics to optimize the hydraulic performance of its agricultural telehandlers. Gain in productivity during your handling operations, and limit fatigue due to repetitive movements thanks to Manitou innovations!

Powerful hydraulic solutions for your agricultural telescopic handlers

Farmers often have to cope with demanding working conditions. During their loading and unloading operations, repetitive movements carried out for several hours a day can cause nervous and muscular fatigue which has an impact on health and harms productivity.

Manitou's Intelligent hydraulics solutions have been designed to address these problems. Improving the performance of MLT telehandlers The new "Stick and Boom" system reduces your repetitive movements and offers a better productivity.

Manitou Intelligent Hydraulics are composed of 3 solutions:

  • Quick lift: this solution allows two synchronized movements (boom lift and telescope extension) to lift loads vertically. Very practical for handling straw bales.
  • Return to Load: this solution automatically manages all movements (attachment angle, boom angle and telescope retraction) to return to a stored working position defined by the operator. Ideal for bulk loading.
  • Bucket shaker: this solution starts an automatic sequence of 4 shakes to remove sticky material from the bucket. Very useful for loading manure.

These solutions significantly improve the comfort of use and the performance of your agricultural telescopic handlers. Optimize your operations, reduce fatigue and increase productivity!

« I can load trailers all day long without getting tired. Thanks to the memory of the Back to Loading position, I always come back in the ideal position to fill the bucket in the pile. So I can concentrate on driving and my MLT takes care of the rest. »

Manitou's Intelligent Hydraulics solutions make the material handling job easier for farmers of all sizes. Today, they precisely meet their requirements in terms of performance and comfort:

  • Increased productivity: the automatic management of several simultaneous actions acts on your daily efficiency and improves the productivity of your farm.
  • Reduced fatigue: thanks to the system of simultaneous movements, you carry out fewer repetitions during your loading/unloading operations. This reduction in movement limits nervous fatigue and musculoskeletal disorders.
  • Ease of use: only 1 action on the joystick is necessary to reach 3 hydraulic movements; the return to the memory of the working position (return to loading) is done automatically allowing the operator to concentrate on his application.

Manitou offers several other solutions to improve the performance of your MLT telehandler and increase your daily comfort: HighView Camera to see directly into the trailer, Regenerative Hydraulics to increase your hydraulic movement speed while reducing your fuel consumption, Joystick JSM on floating armrest...

You can also find online all the latest innovations created by Manitou to improve the comfort and the TCO (total cost of ownership) of its agricultural telehandlers.
