Manitou extends MRT Easy range

Manitou has extended its MRT Easy range of rotating telehandlers with the MRT2145. Sitting above the existing MRT1840 with its 18m, 4tonne lift, the new MRT2145 offers a maximum lift height of 21m, and a 4.5tonne lift capacity. The increased capacity, said Manitou, is a result of using a new design of stabiliser that offers a wider footprint but retains a compact design when folded.

MRT2145 offers a 21m lift height
2106 Manitou has extended its MRT Easy range of rotating telehandlers with the MRT2145.

Sitting above the existing MRT1840 with its 18m, 4tonne lift, the new MRT2145 offers a maximum lift height of 21m, and a 4.5tonne lift capacity. The increased capacity, said Manitou, is a result of using a new design of stabiliser that offers a wider footprint but retains a compact design when folded.

The stabiliser design is a two-piece hinged construction. As the inner part of the leg is lowered hydraulically, a cable and spring mechanism is used to move the outer part into its working position. This extends the MRT2145’s footprint by 80cm in total – 40cm on each side of the machine – enhancing overall stability.

Manitou said the MRT2145 also gets a new design of boom that sees hose and cable routing inside the boom for greater protection and durability. Power for the machine comes from a 75kW Perkins engine, meeting EU Stage IIIB emissions regulations.
