Eight new diesel-powered industrial forklift models, rated at 8,000 to 22,000 lbs, offer medium and high capacity options in the Manitou MI Range. The machines are designed for heavy-duty applications indoors or out, as their tires, engine power and robust components sustain intense use in precast, concrete pipe and other production settings.

Manitou industrial forklifts are focused on user expectations for simplicity, comfort, reliability and efficiency, while keeping the lowest possible operating cost, product engineers contend. Along with high-performance engines, the machines have monobloc chassis and multiple mast options. Design simplicity provides easy access to components, lowering maintenance costs. Manitou strategically routes the hose on the forklift mast and provides a honeycomb roof to ensure maximum visibility and safety. Operators will also note a lower and wider anti-slip step on each side of the forklift to ease access. — Manitou Americas, West Bend, Wis., 262/334-9461; www.manitou-group.com
