Genuine parts for maximum safety Lighting and electricity
Electrical power and visibility are crucial to the efficiency and safety of your materials handling machines, whether they operate in construction, agriculture, transport or industry. Choosing Manitou genuine parts for lighting and electrical systems ensures perfect compatibility and certified quality, essential for optimizing the performance of your handling machines.
Genuine Manitou batteries: guaranteed power and reliability
Choosing genuine Manitou Group Parts batteries ensures the longevity of your machine, whether it's an MLT telescopic handler or an MLA articulated loader, and guarantees maximum efficiency. Our batteries are rugged and long-lasting, ensuring consistent performance even in tough environments.
The different types of Manitou batteries
- Starter batteries: These maintenance-free, calcium-based batteries are selected for their high quality, guaranteeing consistent performance and enhanced reliability. They are laboratory-tested to ensure starting in all weathers.
- Traction batteries: Designed for electric handling equipment (aerial work platforms, industrial forklifts, telescopic handlers), they are selected for their endurance and offer a service life of up to 3,500 cycles.
- Lithium-ion batteries: They offer fast, intuitive recharging, minimal maintenance, longer life and are designed to meet enhanced safety standards.
Why choose genuine Manitou batteries?
Genuine batteries comply with safety and environmental standards. They offer concrete advantages for your material handling machines:
- Performance and durability: Resistance to vibration (V2 and V3 standards) and charge-discharge cycles.
- Safety: Increased safety and prevention of acid leaks. The Battery Management System (BMS) monitors and protects the battery.
Electrical components: maintenance and functional safety
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the performance and life of your machine. Electrical parts are subject to heavy stress (vibration, weathering, thermal shock).
The importance of monitoring electrical parts
Monitoring components is essential for safety and productivity.
- Safety first: warning lights and buzzers must be functional to ensure operator safety.
- Anticipate failures: Replace corroded lugs, worn fuses and faulty switches to preserve system integrity and avoid overvoltage or short-circuits.
- Reliable starting: An alternator or starter in poor condition can compromise battery charging and make engine starting difficult.
Why choose original electrical parts?
Your machine's performance depends on perfect harmony between its components.
- Perfect compatibility: parts designed to perfectly match the technical features of your Manitou machine.
- Reliability and safety: a design tested and validated by our experts for optimum service life and reduced risk of breakdown.
Original lighting: visibility, comfort and compliance
Lighting is essential to ensure optimum visibility and guarantee the safety of the operator and others working around the machine. Manitou Group Parts selects original components that comply with current standards.
Regulatory lighting and road compliance
Multifunctional road lights, plate lights and rotating beacons are type-approved and cannot be removed from the machine.
- Regulatory lights: rear and front lights (including turn signal, stop and reverse). They are resistant to high-pressure washing, waterproof and durable.
- Rotating beacons: Essential for signalling the presence of the machine, they meet R65 standards.
- European conformity: OE lights are designed to meet the lighting requirements defined by the design office, using corrosion- and vibration-resistant materials.
LED lighting: power, durability and economy
LED lighting is a major asset for handling machines.
- LED advantages: exceptional life (up to 50 times longer), low energy consumption (up to 80% savings), shock resistance and superior lighting quality.
- Color temperature: In snowy or dusty conditions, a warmer light color (around 3000 K) is recommended, as it scatters less and reduces glare.
FAQ - Questions about lighting and power
Why is the original Manitou battery more reliable? Genuine batteries are specially selected and tested at the machine design stage, ensuring consistent performance and enhanced reliability, even in harsh environments, thus reducing downtime.
Are LED lights good for my machine? Yes. LED lighting lasts up to 50 times longer than a conventional bulb, and saves up to 80% in energy costs. Their impact resistance and luminous quality optimize your comfort and productivity.
What are the risks of using non-genuine electrical parts? Non-genuine parts can lead to power surges, short circuits or breakdowns, affecting your productivity. Only original parts guarantee the safety and efficiency of your machine.
