Manitou introduces two new Tier 4-certified models to its M Series rough-terrain vertical mast forklifts for North America. The M 30 and M 50 models, available in 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive are designed to provide increased visibility and ergonomics, and improved fuel economy. Lift heights up to 23 feet on the M 30 and 19 feet, 8 inches on the M 50 allow operators to stack loads at high heights. The M 30 features a lift capacity of 6,063 pounds and the M 50 features a lift capacity of 11,023 pounds.

Both models are equipped with a 74-hp Perkins Tier 4-certified diesel engine that delivers up to 235 foot-pounds of torque. In addition, a torque-converter transmission and four drive gears help these machines perform in rough-terrain applications.

The specially designed mast is available in multiple configurations to meet the specific needs of each customer. The strong, rigid design provides optimal vertical and lateral strength while the narrow channels enhance operator visibility to the front of the truck. The mast tilts up to 15 degrees forward and backward for precise material handling. A variety of carriage options are available to suit jobsite needs.

“The Tier 4 M Series rough-terrain vertical mast forklifts fulfill the need for emissions-certified rough-terrain machinery in the North American market,” says Brad Ramsour, regional sales manager. “These machines are especially appealing to rental markets due to their ease of operation and durable components.”

A low, extra-wide, two-step entry is provided for easy entry and exit to the cab. Shock-absorbing bushings suspend the cab on the frame to provide a smooth ride when traveling over rough terrain. An adjustable suspension seat is standard and a fully adjustable pneumatic suspension seat is optional. The enclosed cab option with heat and optional air conditioning provide comfort in all weather conditions. www.manitou.com
